Dress
Possible shoe 1
possible shoe 2
possible shoe 3

I need to do this on a mega budget purely because I've just got my xmas credit card bill and it was not pretty.
Soooo
I'm not sure the dress will suit me. Am only 5 3, average chest, paleish, dark hair.
What do we think to the shoes too?
If anyone can find me something else, pref dress and shoes for a gooooood price I'd be greatful!

Agree shoe 3. Good idea to try stores in the local area. This has worked for me in the past when online stock has run out.

Erm sorry - X posted, mustn't have refreshed the screen for ages.

Apparently all the shops are offering great reductions, and it supposed to be the best sale season ever, if that cheers you up?

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 17:14

well it does kind of
I can't think where else to look on-line?
In our town we only have a dot perks and a small new look.

New Look have had some lovely silk dresses in, if you were lucky enough to find one in your size. Cheap too.

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 17:29

Yeah I'll have a look in there this week. I just didnt want to have to rely on it in case they didnt have much in.

liquidclocks · 19/12/2006 17:50

how about this one , this one or this one ?

Would love to be shopping for a wedding outfit - don't get to choose the next one I'm at as I'm the 'matron of honour' (hehehe! I'm only 25 - makes me sound so old! )

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 17:52

ok what do we think to this

OP posts:
spykid · 19/12/2006 17:54

hmm, not sure of drapey bit at front...looks a bit maternityish

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 17:57

hmm yeah

now i love liquidclocks second and third but i still have a jelly belly (had ds 16 weeks ago) and i think the third will emphasise it with the ribboning. do you think?

OP posts:
NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 17:58

arse again!
both out of stock in my size.

Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

OP posts:
spykid · 19/12/2006 17:58

agree, like 3rd the best....it may even hide some wobblsome bits, the ribbon looks quite wide.

actually am quite tempted for self!

spykid · 19/12/2006 17:59

o bugger

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 18:02

think this is a joke
wtf am I going to do!
When dh said wait for your credit card bill to come first, I knew it would be a mistake leaving it so late.

Forget the wobbly tummy - get a pair of those Big Pants.

What size are you after?

NbgSparklyYellowFeathers · 19/12/2006 18:17

A size 10.
Have just been thinking about big pants.
Although at this rate, thats all I'll be wearing cos no one has 10's in stock.
