Is this any good?

MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:00

red
black
sleeves?
this in the black or red

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:01

too frumpy?

this is a bargain!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:04

I need real shops, Mrs L. Too bloomin' fussy and too in between sizes to faff about online. Can be anything from an 8 to a 14 depending on shop and cut.

Don't like either of those, Accident. Sorry.

Ah ha. here. Is photographed with a daft belt and, more importantly, a slim petticoat under it but it'll fall like the pinterest link IRL.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:05

Clara - yours is sweet, but not screaming out to me iykwim. Just found a gorgeous Roland M one, if anybody has about £600 they don't want!

x post.

Oh yes, you did say, sorry!

MarianForrester · 14/06/2013 22:08

Oh, I love the foxy red and black ones, Mrs L- I want an occasion now!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:08

Talking of M&S this would probably suit me, but I'm not excited by it!

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:10

Too boring?

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:11

Yes, good back up dress.

still love this but probably too pale

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:11

Could you do vintage?

here

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:13

ouch, just looked at prices but some of the ideas are nice!

MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:13

the reiss is nice but, yeah, meh, somehow. I like the component parts the but the whole doesn't quite make it. Well not foe that price compared to that m&s job

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:16

M&S one probably beyond vile irl though - probably made of plastic melted down from the food trays or something.

Mango one would be cute on somebody tall and willowy, and woeful on me.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:16

Vintage no good, Cereal but thank you. Need real shops to walk into and come out with a dress in a bag!

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:16

well over budget likely to be very flattering but you may well hate ti.

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:17

this?

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:19

nice and nice price!!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:19

Hobbs one likely to be a good shape on me but theirs are too long - and it's too loud! You know me too well. :)

OP posts:
soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:20

another one for you not to like!!

MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:21

red
grey (finally) you could certainly make this one work

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:21

Sorry, forgot that!!

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:22

or this?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:26

I actually like both of those, Accident. Is the first one too big for the model?

Love the red one.

Grey one is v me - I'd wear it for work though.
