Dress for a christening

10 replies

Girlboymummy · 03/08/2013 20:39

Help me find a dress for my sons christening I'm currently a size 12 but have chubby arms and wobbly tummy which I'm working on! It's for early September not too fussed at being cold though for the right dress. Will be having my hair braided round the front and a messy bun with a slight quiff. I'm not bad coloured due to the recent weather but will more than likely be having a spray tan and have red hair heavily high lighted. Budget of around £50

Following and bump! Ds is being christened mid September and, while I'm slightly larger than you (14) with mousy brown hair, i quite fancy a new frock Wink

I got him a gorgeous Emile et Rose suit on ebay for £5 by the way

I wore this to a wedding (credit to tethersend!) and the flared skirt balanced out my tummy. It's in the sale now too £25 www.clothingattesco.com/dresses/f+f-limited-edition-rose-print-prom-dress/invt/jg311272/&bklist=icat,4,shop,catgwomens,womens-dresses

It is a must! I have searched everywhere I can think of and things are either too long, too short or just not right!

I posted this not long ago and didn't get any replies ! However after 60 dresses I found the perfect dress in tk max. Silk print fitted waist long sleeved, can't find the link now but there were loads in my local 3 weeks ago ( Kingston)

I really should look in tk maxx more, I always forget about it. Think a trip there is needed tomorrow!
