I'm looking for a very glamorous halterneck dress to wear to a very smart and stylish evening party!

I'm thinking long (maybe with a high slit in skirt) and black, but I'm open to alternative suggestions on colour/length.

I'm v tall, happy to show some cleavage but would prefer to 'conceal' my tummy after a couple of kids....

I don't care how mich it costs as long as it looks fabulous!!

I like this as a short option

This is nice The site has some lovely dresses. I bought one last year and keep meaning to get another.

They are made of a heavy stretchy drapey fabric which is great for disguising things Wink

It's like someone writing you a blank cheque, isn't it? OP, I'm not bothered if you HATE the dresses, I'm having fun Grin

smother · 26/09/2011 13:45

thanks tillysmum, loving all the HH ones.

ooh my, tethesend, thanks, there's some fantastic dresses there, gorgeous! I really love the Issa ones, the black/white and the red. amazing.

when I said I didn't mind how much I spent I was perhaps day-dreaming a little.... definitely just 3 figures is all i can reach!

anitadrink - thanks, that looks much more realistic financially! like the purple and can see it could be flattering.

Think that bra will be an issue with most of these dresses, was hoping i could get away with a halterneck bra so long as the back of the dress is not too plunging.

hmmm. plenty of food for thought!

Grin tethers. My own wardrobe is woeful but I love "virtually" spending other people's money.

Let us know how you get on OP Smile
