how about hiring something for the evening? will be alot cheaper than buying just for one night! I've done this once and it was great, huge choice of dresses to try on - bound to find something. There are usually dress hire businesses listed in yellow pages.

shirt dress looks fab and quite cheap for M & S (think I'll go and try one!). galaxy one is quite nice and very very very trendy style (lots of them in Heat every week )
