i am looking for a black dress to wear to my nans funeral. i want something smart, maybe a slim fitting shift dress. it needs to be knee length (ish) and classy please, and i dont want to spend a fortune, but want to be able to wear it again. oh, and shoes too please. i am 5 foot 8 and a size 12 with size 6-7 feet.

i dont do lace but that is gorgeous. i cant afford £51 though, especially when i have to buy shoes as well xx

it's nice isn't it. could you borrow shoes from somebody perhaps?

Shame as Warehouse have a lovely black chiffon button through short sleeved dress. Knee length and lined to the knee. A slight 'self' coloured spot pattern. Just bought one for DD. But it is £58.

I bought a black shift dress from Tesco a couple of weeks ago. I think it was £22. You should be able to pick some shoes up there too if needed.

This is cheap, not sure if smart enough, but you could always add a nice belt.

sorry

CherryMonster · 25/11/2011 20:24

not my kind of thing i'm afraid, am looking for a more fitted style and a bit longer. thanks though x

I have one of the Tesco £22 black shift dresses. They are very good, I've paid a lot more in the past for a less well cut dress.
