hobbs dress

Love it, just what I'm looking for, but a smidge pricey. Anything similar out there? Thanks.

It is nice. I am now wondering if I can justify it for a wedding next week.

GirlWithTheDirtyShirt · 17/08/2013 22:03

Sorry. That wasn't helpful!

lifesgreatquestions · 17/08/2013 22:09

op, I've been looking for dresses like this all summer and not find anything, that dress is gorgeous. could it be worth the price? the dress could do a variety of events.

theladylovescupcakes · 17/08/2013 22:09

Gorgeous isn't it! Wedding attire for me too. I can picture myself in it, back dress, black tights, hot pink shoes.

It's pretty, but I think the length is frumpy, if that helps at all...

theladylovescupcakes · 17/08/2013 22:11

life yes I know, cost per wear and all that, and I suppose you could change up the colour of accessories etc and get a different look. Would still prefer not to spend £120 though!

try I'm 5ft9 and nudging 40, so I need something to my knee that would hide the nasty bits.....

I'm seriously considering the orange one, bit cheaper! I might pop into the shop tomorrow to see it in person.

Age sorry wrong post

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/08/2013 22:29

The 'orange' is actually a really gorgeous rust colour irl. I've been eyeing it up for ages but it's a) far too long and b) too high in the neck for me. Please somebody buy it! :)

Lady v used to do a Hepburn dress in black that might be similar?

Inthebeginning · 17/08/2013 22:32

I've just looked again and its nothing like it. Please ignore me!!

theladylovescupcakes · 17/08/2013 22:38

Some nice dresses on the lady v site, hadn't heard of them before. Definitely need some ruching though over the tummy area (too much Cake

That dress is lovely and totally justifiable if no one is going to starve if you buy it. If I had it, I'd wear it constantly, forever.

Inthebeginning · 17/08/2013 22:45

They're v flattering over tummy. (I am most knowledgable in the subject of cake tummy hiding)

SirChenjin · 17/08/2013 22:45

Planet dress

Simply Be dress

Any good?

theladylovescupcakes · 17/08/2013 22:52

Both nice sir but just not quite right. Would need to be black on this occasion. (I'm guessing its ok nowadays to wear black to a wedding...?)

SirChenjin · 17/08/2013 22:59

Very ruched dresses

I'm not even sure why I think I can help, I'm absolutely rubbish at fashion! Blush

SirChenjin · 17/08/2013 23:01

Another Very one

lifesgreatquestions · 18/08/2013 07:51

I nearly purchased this but really need a dress to go just below my knee. I just bought a Lady V dress, will see what they're like.
