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

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:29

have I already seen this posted?

Bit long maybe

MrsLettuce · 14/06/2013 22:30

too blue??
black

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 22:31

this?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:32

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.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:33

Long AND coloured is deffo too scary! :)

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

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:38

Indeed! Full scaffolding will be essential.

Monsoon

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:43

do you wear next?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:44

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!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/06/2013 22:44

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

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:45

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

soaccidentprone · 14/06/2013 22:47

everything you hate in one dress!

ClaraOswald · 14/06/2013 22:59

Pale
multi-style

cerealqueen · 14/06/2013 23:08

BHS!! Who knew! Love the second one - but I'm not going to the ball Sad

tethersend · 14/06/2013 23:27

Three from phase eight:

grey maxi

ruched

red

tethersend · 15/06/2013 13:59

another helmut lang

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 14:27

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.

OP posts:
tethersend · 15/06/2013 15:15

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

Too shiny?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 15:16

Sorry, Tethers. That is terrifying.

Grin

You are, and always will be, my nemesis Grin

soaccidentprone · 15/06/2013 16:30
