There's a short version of the first damsel dress too IIRC

I like the 2nd Ghost one but think it would make me look huge on top. Long one nice but wouldn't be nice on me, because of the shape of the top.

The 2 Ghost ones are nice, but how would you wear a supportive bra under it?

Indeed! Full scaffolding will be essential.

Cute, Clara - maybe a bit too cute for me if I'm honest.

Right - dp is nagging for the laptop (to be fair, I have been on here a long time!) so I'd better hand it over for a while.

Thanks ever so much for all of the ideas so far. I'll go and have a mooch around Selfridges and HoF in the morning and see if anything jumps out at me. Will report back!

Next one is a bit too 'busy' I think.

The monsoon one is lovely. You'd have to wear a racer back bra with itGrin

LOVE the Helmut Lang, but again, it's the sort of thing I'd wear to work (though much cheaper versions!) with a blazer.

I've had a mooch around town today - the Coast 'boring' one was dull, too shiny and too long. I didn't see anything else I liked apart from a bright pink VW but it was cotton and v easy-crease, so didn't look great.

Saw this which is a bit of a love-or-hate one.

Too shiny?

Sorry, Tethers. That is terrifying.
