Here's what I want:
Full length
Not fussy,frilly or otherwise OTT
Interesting back
Beaded would be great but ok without
And......
green.

I am 50, 5 foot 7 and size 14.

Also, don't have huge budget., any thoughts? Sick of trawling internet and being outbid on eBay.

How small is the budget?

And sign up to a sniper site for ebay...

Are you set on green?

tethersend · 19/01/2014 21:38

not exactly what you asked for, but very cheap

What is a sniper site? I,am very new to eBay.
Not totally set on green, its just a colour I like. Would consider others but not pastels or very 'girly' co!ours.
Budget would be under £100

can I tempt you with red?

tethersend · 19/01/2014 21:41

Damn, missed the budget.

Sniper sites bid on your behalf in the last few seconds of an auction. Try myibidder or goofbay.

Will look again.

tethers yes!!! That's it. The first green one which is out of stock or maybe the blue!
Love it. Can't get the photos to display very well on my tablet but looks exactly what I'm looking for. But its out of stock....wails!

They have it in JL, but it's twice the price... May be worth calling some ghost shops?

Although I think I prefer the blue, TBH...

tethersend · 19/01/2014 22:11

Oooh, I wonder if JL would do the price matching thing...?

tethersend · 19/01/2014 22:12

here on JL
