The one you love most?

And are you looking for a new one this year.

Thanks Remus still looking for shoe boots, haven't looked at Steve Madden though, and my fave long boots are from there so will have a look now!

Thanks Marsha, am feeling a bit lost with shoes, mrscb recommended some great strappy zara sandals which would look great but not sure if something edgier would be better, more like my boots but not so heavy iyswim? Need to get looking!

It is a lovely dress. I had a moment of finding too much VW in Liberty, but seeing that dress has reminded me why I liked her.

She is a genius - and your dress is gorgeous.

I always liked her stuff on other people. It was only when I tried some on that I realised how brilliant she is. Grin

Pag! Love your VW dress and it reminds me to add VW to my SS2013 wish list - I saw a beautiful floral print dress during fashion week and I want it!

I don't like full skirts tbh.

Too girly

Yes you have to get shoe boots to wear with the studded dress, Oliver. There are lots of great ones around - Steve Madden might be worth a google?

My 'party dress' is a Westwood black jersey. I really fancy a black lace mini with sleeves. Tried to get one lost year and couldn't find one the right length or with the right sleeves. Really hope to find one this year - to wear with shoeboots or platforms.

Oh my god, I totally seem to be posting the wrong links in the wrong threads Blush

So, somehow I posted someone else's link, instead of the one I meant to.. So, with no further ado, this is my new Whistles party dress - hope it was worth all the wait!

Anyone want a BNWT Anglomania black jersey. Sleeveless. Size 14 you can haggle with me. It's too big. Never wire if.

I got a super cheap one from wallis in summer. Now reduced. Plain black Gold thick collar.

Also good for titty types is coast Olivia sleeveless.

It does amazing things for my waist, and its just right to be worn with flats as well - dressy enough to dress the flats up, but no so dressy it looks weird with flats.

Sadly I think its a bit more memorable than a plain coloured dress, so I can't wear it much...

Herve Leger did the bandage dresses.

Mine is Vivienne Westwood. Gorgeous and gives me a curvy figure I don't actually possess.

I bought this rather lovely Whistles dress a few days ago and have already worn it to a v. posh work party/auction/event thing we had last night, accessorised with these shoes. (My recent splurge at Whistles happened because I met their CEO a few weeks ago, and she gave me a book of discount vouchers, I think in a bid to escape from me - I'd had a bit of a fan girl moment and told her I loved her! Blush

I have a lovely pair of black suede ankle boots it looks great with too, so roll on the Christmas party season!

(I have my eye on another Whistles dress too, vouchers expire at the end of this year and intend to take full advantage of them!! Grin
