Occasion dresses

Where do you shop online for occasion dresses? I have a wedding coming up and don't live near any good shopping places. Have looked on ASOS and the Outnet and have done some searches on Shopstyle. Ideally after a green midi dress but open to anything really! Budget is £150 max. 5ft 7 size 10-12. Hit me with your shopping or dress suggestions!

we have a designer outlet place nearby - My last 2 have come from Roman (wedding) and Bon Marche (evening) - but think you need to be a bit lucky with both!

Debenhams and m&co both have a few brands on their websites that might give you ideas?

hecallsmebunny · 18/11/2016 23:04

Thanks Taffy. Just had a quick look on m&co and doesn't seem my style but Debenhams always worth a look I guess!

Lots of beautiful green midi dresses here...

Thanks yearzero. Some lovely dresses but not quite right for the occasion.

Have been looking at styles with quite flared skirts and bardot necklines. Or lace detail. Can't quite explain what I'm after but I'll know when I see it! Sorry to be so difficult to please Grin

PS what's the Joanie sizing like please? For example I could probably buy a 10 dress in Oasis but need a 12 in Warehouse (at least last time I checked, which is a while...)

Coast have a lovely dark green midi called Hermoine in at the moment.

I am trying to justify the price of this: www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_58607+01715598_-1 It's mostly sold out online, but my local Debs had it in a ten when I was there last week. It's glorious on. I feel a bit like Scarlett O'Hara.

hecallsmebunny · 19/11/2016 21:52

NotAMammy I did look at that dress and think it looked gorgeous...do have a Debenhams nearby so might pop in this week. Thanks!

Coconut, do you have any EA stuff? Is the sizing typical?

OP posts:
CoconutOilWink · 19/11/2016 23:27

I'm an odd size really 10 on top, 12 on bottom but I've never had an issue buying size 10 fit and flare type dresses from there :)

hecallsmebunny · 20/11/2016 11:36

Not odd, or we both are, sounds exactly like me! thanks again Smile

Becstarlenski · 20/11/2016 19:44

The size seems good I got a 16 and it fits well maybe a tiny bit big. I get a 16 in warehouse but have to watch the styles as I'm more of a 14 on top with wide hips. I was really please with my dress can't wait to wear it.

hecallsmebunny · 20/11/2016 20:13

Okay great thanks. Enjoy looking fabulous in your dress Smile

M&S this is what I would buy if I had anything coming up.

CheddarGorgeous · 20/11/2016 21:31

I've been dress shopping recently. There's so much more choice on the internet compared to in the shops. But House of Fraser has a good selection, with some good discounts on some nice Ralph Lauren dresses.
