where are all htese shirtwaister dresses then

[cod]

think they be a really good summer look

satin for daytime maybe.
Passed a girl in the street the other day wearing a ruffled pink satin skirt w boots & casual jacket - looked v odd in my opinion.

Sateen is NOT satin. Sateen is a cotton fabric with a satin-like finish. It will be a heavy cotton fabric (slightly strechy with addition of elastene) but with a sheen, rather than matt finish.

Think of it like piant, you get matt, silk and soft sheen. Sateen is soft sheen, perfect for the day :)

BUT it's cotton, not man made fibres. On a really hot day we should all wear bikinis, but since we don't and lots of offices have air-con, I think that dress looks fab. My 'thing' which I need you to check Cod, is 'Lap Creases' !! You know if you have been sitting down all day or on the train, will you looklike a dish rag??

lol at all this thought
i m only ordering it for a look see!

Perhaps I need to order it, only I tried over teh phone and they want me to open and account, Which I don't want.

ill buy it for you and get it delievred to your addy if you cat me

That's really kind, but I think I'll go to town tomorrow lunchtime, as I also have a cheque to pay in. I'll order it at the shop, to be delivered there and then not pay for postage :)

Oasis said their dress might be in tomorrow so I'll try that too :)

Can you believe a thread of over 230 posts on shirt dresses :)

so which one do we think it is the gbest?

hmm not much beety
crunch and i are reasearching

hurry up then.

lol

there is a great deal of effort giong in here

( rubs chin authoratitively)

I have narrowed it down to 2, the Oasis one and teh Next one, BUT we need to try them on. Oasis aren't istore until thia week or next and the Next one is online only!!

i hate next so wont be going there.

what about the hennes one?

and i have ordered next one but we arent optimistic are we crunch

or Nailey

w e al think too long

Someone liked the Hennes one, but loose buttons were an issue :)

I liked some of the Zara ones, but I was worried about cheap fabric, eg cheap linen that looks like a dishcloth and manages to be see throug atthe same time. I want something that looks good, has well placed buttons to give a decent flash of clevage and leg (not too mumsy) Straight/slightly A line skirt so we can move, and decent fabric so doesn't look cheap in 5 mins. Oh and non-gaping buttons too :)

You Beety could wear anything and look fab, you have effortless chic :)

creep
new look one was also fo crap material that looked liek oyu ahad used it for cleaning shoes for hte previosu winter

yeah but she is thin and georgous, both of us know this. I on the other hand are trying to find a dress that will magically make my legs grow 5" and that will make me look like I have lost 2 stone. Hmmm where is that one
