I need to order online, and it has to get here by Thursday (I KNOW. I should have done this weeks ago)

Going to PIL's birthday lunch this weekend, leaving Friday. It is in a fairly posh place, but in Germany where they don't dress up to the nines.

I have a gorgeous maxi dress, but it is getting a bit chilly for it.

My legs are not great, so it should be longish.

I like this] but wouldn't be able to wear a normal bra, which would be a pita.

I liked that first one but the reviews put me off.

Second one a definite no, as is the third. [shudder] at sparkles.

Looking at the one I linked to - I like the style but think it would be too fancy perhaps.

Am (predictably) looking at Boden. This one is naice
