Here

Ignore the way it's styled on the model. It's a great dress.

Go on - you know you want to. And it will be an investment if it's a colour you love.

:)

tethersend · 11/09/2011 10:47

Oh, I'd forgotten about that Grin

Yes, BUY IT.

are you on commission ? :)

can you find me something nice for Christmas meet up when you have a spare minute?

tethersend · 11/09/2011 13:30

Grrr... That would be the Xmas meet up on DD'S BIRTHDAY which I can't come to, right?

Whaddya want?

Size/budget/colour?

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 13:40

:( but at least you will be spared sight of me in nice dress but still looking dodgy

any reasonable budget, as in £1 would be nice but not too many multiples of £100 unless is amazing dress can wear thousands of times

I really really don't know my size because places vary so much, and my old clothes don't fit but new versions in same sort of size (8-10) are sometimes big, sometimes ok, sometimes snug.

am a dreadful shape though, and nearly 41 so possibly something more seemly than this very short dress am wearing now

MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 13:41

yes, colour is good

no idea what suits me but not in love with brown black grey things

tethersend · 11/09/2011 13:50

Do you want sleeves? What length is good?

This is a good bargain but not colourful enough

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 13:54

I like that (you are good at this!) except would be dodgy mid calf length on me as am a freak have short legs, long body and am not excessively tall (1.6m ish)

MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 13:55

sleeves are nice!

late for an already late lunch but thanks and will return

tethersend · 11/09/2011 16:45

I'm off out now but will be back with some suggestions

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 20:27

thank you

will do some wobbly cartwheels between cigarettes until then

(is not essential that dress be compatible with cartwheels - hoping not to get that drunk actually)

tethersend · 11/09/2011 21:17

Right. have been drinking, so apologies if I am way off...

Asos petite

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 22:02

I love love the first Max Mara, quite like the mikhail whatsit one and also that Asos - wish the first dress was not grey though, it would too accurately reflect my drab self I think. So I might get it but poss not for meet up, should I narrow things and express a preference for red? Having taken stock and realised 90% of wardrobe is blue or purple.

Of the others the lace one makes me shudder the most. (Do you charge for this service?)

MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 22:11

(I like the green Mikael Aghal, not the yellow one which made me feel slightly queasy)

tethersend · 11/09/2011 22:12

yy narrowing helps!

Will look for red. I would recommend the verity, but I think they may be a few wearing it at the party Wink

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 22:20

ohhh that's nice

maybe not red then if everyone else is

this is worse than a school disco!

tethersend · 11/09/2011 22:37

no, no, everyone won't be in red... just that that dress has been very popular on here.

How about:

Coast

Kaliko

LK Bennett

LK Bennett

Too short?

westwood

Asos again

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 22:41

argh I love that first LK Bennett but only in a 6, I'd need surgery or (even more extreme) to give up carbs

will look at the rest now

tethersend · 11/09/2011 22:44

Reiss

Reiss

OP posts:
MitchiestInge · 11/09/2011 22:47

I like that Reiss wrap dress too

think I have a shortlist already - might need to do poll though, mild anxiety about everyone wearing red, like some sort of communist convention?

tethersend · 11/09/2011 22:51

Start a thread... the more ideas the better!
