oooh, I like piccie 36 with the herringbone cropped trouser and high shoes, nice tights too

me and trouser have some issues though as my thighs and bum seem to challenge all but the most forgiving

I need your help please. My brother is getting married in February and I need an outfit. They are havign a civil ceromony in a hotel, we wont be leaving the hotel for the whole day, therefore don't feel the need to have an overcoat etc.

Think I want a dress but not sure what sort of style - I know I don't want black and I don't want strapless. Is that any help ?
Please please help me as I am running out of time

motherpeculiar · 29/11/2005 10:21

am going to ikea now (help) - will check in again later

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 10:40

Shop is shut at the moment but will reopen later on today (no idea when but it will!)

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 12:37

motherpeculiar, how about this gorgeous top , with these jeans?

aloha · 29/11/2005 12:52

Ooh, top is superb. Love the FCUK sequin skirt but more for night than day... I saw a woman wearing EXACTLY the skirt I wanted the other day but had dd and ds with me and could chase her to ask where it came from. She looked super-chic. It was quite long, net with applique ribbons, which sounds shite but looked fabulous with chunky boots.

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 12:52

or go to Tops, then look for Freya Silk Blend Tunic and add nice chunky necklace, or the Cachet Shell Buckle Mesh Wrap Top, or even the Ghana Baby Doll Top if you like your arms

like any of these?

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 12:54

aloha the skirt you describe sounds a bit like one from FCUK last winter (which I coveted...), it was gorgeous!!

aloha · 29/11/2005 12:55

I bet it was last season.
It was lovely though.

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:03

aloha, I know it's no the same but this is quite nice and would go with boots

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:04

aaarggh annoying sites, I mean the Chocolate Beaded Vintage Skirt

Springchicken · 29/11/2005 13:05

Anyone around to help me ?

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:08

yes, can have a go
have you got a budget?

aloha · 29/11/2005 13:08

I really like that one - the chocolate beaded one obv, not the goth cellist one.

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:09

oh good aloha, you are hard to please (but you have taste...)

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:11

SpringChicken, do you want sleeves or not?
have you big or small boobs, good legs?
sorry to be personal

Springchicken · 29/11/2005 13:13

No budget at all - absolutely skint but sure I will find a way around it.
If it helps I am 5ft 7, approx size 10, medium brown hair below shoulder length. Men are hacing to wear Tux's, although there is no dress xode for the women it needs to be something pretty glam.
Thanks

Springchicken · 29/11/2005 13:14

X posted.

Don't mind on the sleeve front - going to be inside so the weather wont make a difference.
36c boobs and reasonable legs, do not want to be showing anything above knee without tights though.

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:15

OK, off to have a look

Springchicken · 29/11/2005 13:16

I shall wait with baited breath

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:26

a couple of nice ones at Monsoon, go to dresses, Jarvia Silk Georgette Dress, or Ena Pleated Embellished Dress, or Ivy Silk Embroidered Dress or the Morocco Dress if you want to go long without being just too 'eveningy', or even Azalea Silk Dress (but not a lot of support there)
anything you like so far?

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:27

also try Karen Millen and Coast (no websites of any use though)

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:31

love this one

FrenchKissUnderMistletoeGirl · 29/11/2005 13:32
