Something like this ?

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 13:38

Or some more here , here , or here (actually not sure that last one's eveningy enough, iykwim).

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 13:41

This is a real bargain. Or this is pretty, but more expensive.

DarrellRivers · 11/02/2007 13:44

I like that middle tansen floral yumi dress, very pretty

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 13:45

Yes, I think that's my favourite of all of those, darrellrivers.

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 13:53

Do you fancy strapless?

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 14:00

Another one here ? Or a petite size one? Another one .

DarrellRivers · 11/02/2007 14:03

still tansen no 1 , but also liked the miss selfridge floral prom dress (but i prefer the security of straps myself)
where is the OP?

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 14:04

OK - last batch then I'm giving up.
This ?
Or this?

JackieNo · 11/02/2007 14:05

She's gone, darrellrivers. Glad someone's appreciating the links. Come back, kittypants.

weepootleflump · 11/02/2007 14:05

Oasis had one like lily allen's red dress.

If I were you I'd get down to Coast or Monsoon, there's still plenty left in the sales and at rock bottom prices.

SueW · 11/02/2007 14:50

This is a useful site.

What about this or this or this or this or this

All in red, if I've got the links right.

Now back to my essay....

OP posts:
JackieNo · 12/02/2007 21:07

Sounds great - not sure about a jacket. Maybe a silvery wrap?

kittypants · 12/02/2007 21:09

sounds good!

OP posts:
JackieNo · 12/02/2007 21:18

I'm looking...

kittypants · 12/02/2007 21:19

ha ha,how did you get so good at dressing other people?you should become a personnal shoppper

OP posts:
poppiesinaline · 12/02/2007 21:24

JackieNo - would you like to come and live with me?

When I put an outfit on and appear in front of my DH and say "not sure, what do you think?" he goes

"yeah. looks ok to me. But then Im not a fashion person"

JackieNo · 12/02/2007 21:27

I'm an amateur compared to MrsBadger . She's fab at this. (I would love to be a personal shopper).

And as if to prove that I'm not that good, I'm having problems finding any silvery wraps - there's this one , but it doesn't look that great. But Debenhams do have a fair few nice looking black ones (and other colours) - any of those take your fancy? YOu could do a bolero/shrug type jacket, too, I guess?
