I'm going on holiday to Egypt next month and need a comfortable dress that will withstand children pawing at it for the journey. I'm a size 10/12, 5ft5 apple shape.

Whaddya think?

Option 1 - Nice but aren't the delivery times horrendous?

Option 2 - potentially a bit hot?

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5 - does this look cheap?

I just got this in Navy, tis polyester tho, but lovely and swishy.. linea wrap dress

I wouldn't wear a dress on the plane tbh.
If anyone spills anyhting on it, you won't be able to wear it during your holiday. Also, arriving in Egypt, I would be covered until I got to the resort.

They are all dull and belong in an office.

This looks terrific on uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/1531906408 though I wear red wedges with it.

MrsSeanBean · 16/07/2012 18:49

3 is good, followed by 5

ZillionChocolate · 16/07/2012 19:06

I quite like 2 3 and 4. None of them are very holiday though.

Thanks all Smile I'll probably wait until after those last two dresses are delivered to see what's what.

I don't have any special clothes that I have just for holiday apart from beachwear - just clothes if it's hot (unlikely in the UK obv) Grin Am I abnormal?

The Maxi Luggage Carousel story is that I was by the carousel and hefted a bag I thought was mine off the carousel. It wasn't so I hefted it back on except the hem of my maxi (White Company) got hooked on the this suitcase and then further wedged underneath the bag. I had to do a very ungainly circuit of the carousel until I could free myself. I thought it was going to be a choice of ripping the dress Hmm or having circle the carousel indefinately Grin.
