Is the Phase 8 Agy dress too partyish for work? I love drapey dressed but I'm worried that may be OTT for in the office.

QueenBOObread · 27/11/2012 00:11

This is mine. Does wonders for my non-existant waist Grin.

QueenBOObread · 27/11/2012 00:12

Ach. Can't get the picture thingy to work.

UnrequitedSkink · 27/11/2012 00:14

overmydeadbody your dress is beeeeyootiful! What's the sizing like, is it very clingy? Will it hide the 6lbs I need to lose?

QueenBOObread · 27/11/2012 00:17

Last try!

FrogsgoLaDiLaDiLa · 27/11/2012 01:09

I've just bought this. Hopefully with some sparkly accessories it'll take me from work to cocktails on a girly night out!

You can't go wrong with the Davina from LK Bennett - I have it in 3 different colours Blush

BIWI · 27/11/2012 08:08

strictly - what do you mean 'old'?! I'm 53! Grin

aMuminwaiting · 27/11/2012 08:34

Got this in Chester as a treat to myself for surviving a rubbish year! It's super figure hugging and the material and cut make it look super expensive. It reminds me of a Karen Millen dress but for a fraction of the price. Love it.

aMuminwaiting · 27/11/2012 08:35

My picture vanished!

strictlycaballine · 27/11/2012 08:36

BIWI Ok well I shall just call myself wobbly then Grin

Some lovely dresses there. My pet hate at the moment is the panel dress.

I'm not going anywhere that requires wearing an LBD type dress this year, but if I were, I'd wear something like this with shiny leggings and and I already have some velvet high sandals in that colour with diamantés that would match.
