Oh God, oh God, I haven't been to an evening do in years. How do I even start to find a dress?!

[gaelicsheep]

My local shops are rubbish, no long dresses at all and I don't do short. Full of nasty shiny polyester and sequins -ugh. I need something long that I can wear at other times but suitable for evening (not black tie) do. Oh and not expensive. HELP!

Monsoon? They normally have some lovely dresses in

Is this Style and Beauty?

Phase Eight is worth a look, too. I think they had 20% off all dresses... maybe its even more now!

Djembe, is this Pedants' Corner? I couldn't find Style and Beauty and since I feel I have neither this will so well enough. I think a dress counts as clothes, don't you?

do well enough.

Thanks Wishful and blue2. I'll take a look online. I hope they sell online - can't justify a city trip.

Try Style and Beauty though - they are really nice on there (not like AIBU ) and you'll get loads of help.

Oi, don't be snippy. Not being pedantic, was genuinely confused as I'd never seen this topic before and thought they'd renamed S and B! Post wherever you please, no bones to me - you might get more responses in S and B though.

What's your shape/size and budget? Monsoon and Phase Eight def worth a look, also Damsel in a Dress, Mint Velvet, Outnet and online dept stores like John Lewis?

Also Me and Em.

Will find some links

Sorry for being snippy Djembe, I'm a little out of my comfort zone here. I'll post a link to this thread in S&B.

Size: 8/10 depending on the shop, average height, shape hourglass-ish. Legs horrible, knees big hence requirement for long dress. Also must be modest as male team members will be there - no embarrassment required!

There are some lovely things in Phase Eight - just been looking. Budget could be a problem though. Definitely can't spend more than about £75.
