Have I gone mad one was ok actually.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 18:12

this is me throwing in the towel

nohalfmeasures · 15/06/2013 18:16

Debenhams have loads.
this?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 18:17

Lovely but too shapeless I think. What did you think of my second Jigsaw one? Too boring?

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 18:18

NoHalf - the only one I quite liked on the whole of the Debenhams site was the, 'have I gone mad?' one, below.

I think there are a lot of nicer maxis for the price of the jigsaw one... It's a bit shapeless.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 18:25

Yes, you are right.

OP posts:
tethersend · 15/06/2013 18:30

oh god, who was I kidding?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 18:31

Nope, don't like that at all - sorry.

Jigsaw grey - too shapeless. You'd look like a sack of spuds in itGrin

Jigsaw with butterfly sleeves might be ok. Other 2 too plain, too high a neckline.

Sorry if done already:

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 19:04

Zara one gorgeous but too low - need a bra.

Which was the butterfly one? What did you think of the Have I Gone Mad one?

OP posts:
MarianForrester · 15/06/2013 19:24

I like the have-I-gone mad one,and it does look appropriate for a ball and not for work Smile

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 19:51

:)

OP posts:
soaccidentprone · 15/06/2013 20:14

well I like this one!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 20:15

Couldn't wear a bra with that though.

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 15/06/2013 20:17

Strapless bra - nay bother

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 20:23

Strapless bra and 32E = not v comfortable though. :)

OP posts:
MarianForrester · 15/06/2013 20:28

Comfort has no place in style and beauty Grin

Get thee a fleece and some hotter shoes and give up on ball dresses!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 20:32

A fleece? Good gods, what do you take me for?

No idea what Hotter shoes are.

OP posts:
MarianForrester · 15/06/2013 20:33

They are purportedly Very ComfortableGrin

And they come in fun colours......

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/06/2013 20:38

They sound terrifying.

OP posts:
MarianForrester · 15/06/2013 20:40

Oh, yesGrin
