Long sleeves, or short sleeves?

FellatioNelson · 04/04/2011 21:19

Well if you can't it Teths we've got no chance!

FellatioNelson · 04/04/2011 21:19

But since the gauntlet has been thrown down I will try to oblige...

I want long sleeves really, or 3/4 length.

Grin at Greensleeves.

Fellatio, I just want to say good luck. We're all counting on you.

Does it have to have long sleeves? And does it have to be green? And under £70? Hmm

niminypiminy · 04/04/2011 21:35

Damsel in a dress not under 70 but very nice

Celia Birtwell for Johnny Loulou under 70

more Celia not in a 16 but a 14 might do

I've been looking at green dresses myself lately...

tethersend · 04/04/2011 21:35

It does a bit, yes. Don't be put off.

None of your links work, Fellatio- they just go to the HoF homepage. I suspect they have changed their website and done a Hobbs.

Links didn't work! Hmm

tethersend · 04/04/2011 21:39

niminy- I am not keen on the first looks a bit cheapy. I think it's the jersey.

I quite like the second, but the sleeves are too short.

I do not like the third one, sorry.

Thanks both for looking Smile

Fellatio's links worked for me!

FellatioNelson · 04/04/2011 21:41

you can't argue with this one

womma · 04/04/2011 21:43

This is lovely on

tethersend · 04/04/2011 21:43

How come you can see Fellatio's links, Jackie?

Right, that olive one is about as green as an orange, has no 16 and made me sick in my mouth.

I mean, thanks for looking. Blush

The House of Fraser one didn't work for me either. Confused How come some of us can see it and some can't? This kept happening to me when I was trying to find a wedding dress for Kate Middleton yesterday as well. Most annoying.

chickchickchicken · 04/04/2011 21:45

i thought it was horrible not very nice too

i cant open links either, going straight to hof homepage

tethersend · 04/04/2011 21:45

womma, I have that one Grin

It's what made me want another green dress; have had lots of compliments that the colour suits me.

I know - the links thing is weird, isn't it.

\link{http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33058&storeId=12557&productId=2284855&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209224&parent_categoryId=209222&pageSize=200\this claims to be green}, but is all sorts of other colours too.

chickchickchicken · 04/04/2011 21:46

yea happened to me yesterday too. thought it was just my incompetence Blush

Curiousmama · 04/04/2011 21:47

Bargain! Grin

nailak · 04/04/2011 21:50

you lot are good at this, how about a long floral chiffon dress with sleeves?

Adair · 04/04/2011 21:50

I love that Peacocks dress.

FellatioNelson · 04/04/2011 21:50

Actually for sixteen quid that's not half bad.

(and I wasn't actually look for Kate's wedding dress in House of Fraser. Just though I'd make that clear. Grin)

Curiousmama · 04/04/2011 21:55

not green but I'm tempted for £9!
