I need your help. I want something that's not strapless or strappy, which is proving difficult. Budget preferably no more than £60, but possibly up to £100 for the right dress.

[[http://m.lightinthebox.com/sheath-column-v-neck-asymmetrical-chiffon-evening-dress-890080_p890080.html this is close to what I have in mind. Shane about the weird boobs bit.

I like that it's not strapless or strappy and fitted as I have big boobs and a small waist and I also have good legs but wanted something long.

What size? Folk might be able to find a sale bargain etc but dress size would help

This I would take it to a dressmakers and get a front slit on the left side from floor to mid thigh. I would wear stroppy black heels, a boxy black clutch, a fur shrug to top it off.

Could be worth a try, and definitely a show stopper!

Im a 12/14, safest to get a 14 cause of my boobs. Thanks will look through these now!

The reiss one is the closest to what I have in mind, but sadly over budget. Those phase 8 dresses are amazing but way way over budget!

How long have you got to plan?

nilbyname · 08/10/2014 22:34

op I'm so sorry, the reiss one I thought was £75 not £175!

The Coast one is a similar shape and with a slit put in would be almost the same? Definitely dramatic and has the wow, order it and see?

trixymalixy · 08/10/2014 22:55

Event is on the 24th Oct so not long enough to order the dress in my OP.

Wish that reiss dress was £75, I'd have snapped it up!

possibly (because of the neckline)
neckline again
same as that fiest one or slightly different Confused

this is bizarre but there's something I like about it. Maybe I watched to much ice skating in the 80s.
even more sequins black
Oh! you might actually like this one

this is a thing of wonder but one would need

I'm a sucker for a velvet dress meself

If it's Halloween themed, what about this Vivien one?
