Anyone seen any nice dresses lately that will see me through a holiday abroad and home again?

[kitya]

Im reluctant to buy new clothes for my long weekend away but I would like a nice frock thats easy to pack but that I can wear here as well for the Autumn. I hate this time of the year for clothes shopping!

See my peppapigberry thread if you have norks. I bought a good dress there today.

never heard of it.

I will give the dress a go. Thanks.

See the one I linked on the Zara thread. Also this one if you suit these colours whistles rip off?

Watching avidly!

How blatant is that Whistles rip off?!!! I love it but, I have three just the same from Whistles last year. It's such a flattering shape. Sadly Zara clothes don't touch me.

Im afrraid my legs wouldnt carry them off

well, then try this

pample, I cant find your thread!!

Have a look at Fenn Wright Manson sale stuff - this arrived yesterday and it's bloody amazing. I'm curvy with a short waist but not petite (5'7") and it looks fab, comes to just on knee length and I got 4 separate compliments. Wore it in 30C but imagine it would be as good with tights and boots.

Needed to size down as their stuff comes up large but I love their clothes at the moment.

are the stripes accross ok?

Surprisingly, yes they are (I would normally steer clear of horizontal stripes on anything except a Breton top), plus the pattern hides and lumps and bumps - more forgiving than a plain color

practically everything has gone in my size

Oh no, what size / shape are you? What do you want to emphasize / hide? What colors suit you? Sure someone on here can help!

Im a 14. I did find one. Not reduced though!

Its only that there will be a special night out whilst we are away, otherwise Im sure Ive got bits and bobs I can throw together. Afterall, weve had no Summer.
