Dd1 is almost 16 and looks fab, short dramatic hair, likes to look different Grin

This is her description of what she wants:

Corset style top in red and black satin and lace with the skirt part short at the front (above knee) and long at the back (to the floor) in black or red satin.

She wants to look elegant from the back and then turn around to look wow (her words lol)

I can't find anything......help me please Smile

katymac YOU ARE A STAR!!!! We have found the one Grin

She has decided to go for the jade green (her name is jade) as its not easy to find dresses in that colour which is why she went for red at first.

Now to measure her and order it.

Thanks girls, what would i do without mumsnet Grin
