Please find me a frock

[Fuctifano]

Mum of a wee girl making her 1st Communion, not exactly wedding not too casual. In church so no bare shoulders or help me find a shrug too.

what sort of shape are you? what colours do you like/suit you? price range?

this is lovely - quite conservative

What size, body shape, colouring are you? And what price range?

There is a thread for a dress for a christening, may have some ideas for you here

What about this? I saw it in Oasis today and it's a lot nicer in real life than in the pic. A bit Kate M.

I'm 5, 6 and big of nork 34f/36E also generous of muffin top so a curvy 14/16. hoping that the baltic (Scottish) weather will be allow for at least perhaps some nibbles putside before the midges drive us indoors. I trust Mn more than my DH's "Aye, fine Doll."

Oh and price range £50 - £100 and would hope to wear over the rest of the summer dressed up or doon.

How about this or this?

Or 50s style?

I love the red, think that the draping could be very flattering

I love your username, BTW Fuctifano

Was my uni quiz team name! Not sure how it reads in different regional accents as I hear it in my broad Scots dialect. Thanks so much for the dress tip, would never have thought of Laura Ashley.

'If this is the answer, what is the question?'

Are you still looking for a dress?

www.monsoon.co.uk/larch-print-dress/invt/85344976/ I bought this the other day as an option for a wedding dressed up or with birkies for the summer, was very nice on.

Used to claim to be related an Italian footballer Roberto... Yes, going to check out my local Laura Ashley tomorrow but it is small branch and judging by the window usually stocked to suit its approaching elderly clientele. Next is a no no as anything half decent will be worn by at least two other mums, there is a small Phase 8 in my local Debenhams and have liked their stuff on other threads so could check how i sit with their sizing in store then order. Like the floaty drapey almost grecian look, partial to a maxi if it can contain the E/F girlies.

There's some nice drapey stuff in Phase eight and Dorothy P's-

Phase eight

Love the monsoon one too muchos cheapness at that price shoe and a bag are on the cards! What height are you Five and and what sort of length is it?

I know I said shoulders to be covered but I have a nice black lace shrug anyone seen this in the flesh www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/warehouse/All-Sale/Mesh-Goddess-Dress/201228065 . Excuse the crap linkage I'm new

I am 5.2 but have a large arse so I guess 2-3 inches below knee on me would sit on your knee. it is very comfortable to wear, I don't do dresses/skirts at all but looking forward to wearing this one.

The Monsoon one is gorgeous.

I recently bought this one for a wedding and there is a matching bright pink bolero cardigan to go with it.

I am a slightly bigger cup size than you and I still had to go down a size from my usual clothes size as there is plenty of room in the bust. Infact, if I can budget sufficiently to keep it I will have to put a little stitch into the cleavage as it is so generous.

It would dress down quite well for summer with some pink birkies or some wedges I think.

I am 5ft 5 and the length was perfect.
