trying that link again

DBM one lovely but I have a similar shaped one already. Don't like the other one - too blingy for me. Thank you though.

Just found this. Would depend v much on the fabric, which is probably awful, but I like the shape. Is it too nightclubby?

omg love

That's nice!

That's lovely - but it's polyester!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/06/2013 20:33

I know. I can live with polyester (at a push) if it's cheap - I seriously object to paying Reiss/Whistles prices for it though.

Will try it on and report back - is it too nightclubby/slaggy though?

You can live with polyester Shock

I... I just... I can't even...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/06/2013 21:26

Throws cold water over her.

Is it too 'young' though?

tethersend · 19/06/2013 21:44

No, no... It's really nice actually. It's similar to the VW but different enough not to be a copy.

What would you wear it with? A thinking gold and bare legs (with tan). Shoes?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/06/2013 22:43

I don't think I can do bare legs. Am pale as death and fake tan just makes me look dirty! Could do nude tights and big heels, maybe?

I've got this

Or this

But happy to buy something IF the dress looks any good! I like dirty gold coloured stuff. Shoes - I've got a couple of pairs of high black ones - stiletto, platform or wedge, or could get more (except I am even worse at buying shoes than I am at buying dresses!).
