DD & her dance partner need 2 matching dresses - size 6 & 8

Less than £90 each
Fitted bodice
Long
Full skirted
Ideally sequinned/jewelled/glitzy
But appropriate for younger girl not too tarty

I have looked at Debenhams, House of Fraser, Coast, Quiz, John Lewis, Monsoon, Asos

Where else could I look?

But for the most part the back of the dress is boring...ideally it would be as good as the front

Of your links I like

the blue satin or the blue chiffon best for young girls

Will have a rummage

notMarlene · 07/12/2012 22:29

pink
beige 95 but fits all other requirements

KatyMac · 07/12/2012 22:29

I can see me sticking crystals on while on the train up to Blackpool

I like the blue chiffon too & the pink but the beige isn't in their sizes

I've tried to post with links and my stupid phone keeps deleting it - have a look on eBay - plenty of cheap glitzy dresses available there - some not so suitable but a few that would be. I did searches like 'long sequin prom dress 8'. Sorry I can't link.

PerryCombover · 08/12/2012 01:44

What about this fella?

KatyMac · 08/12/2012 09:29

I guess the other requirement is that the back should be as detailed as the front

But I do like those

I'll look on eBay

glitzier than a glitzy thing, back and front. leg split allowed?
Oooh, perfection?
black and bronze
pink smallest is an 8 so one would need adjusting, but it's well under budget. Would probably leave enough for a seamstress if you don't have time yourself.

Thanks - It's so hard pleasing 4 people - 2 girls (who wear them) & 2 mums (who pay for them)
