Blimey - I really missed a good one last night, didn't I. But not sure I've got anything to add, sorry.

harpsichordcarrier · 05/04/2007 09:29

which one?

JackieNo · 05/04/2007 09:29

I think you have had links to every skirt in the known universe, and you're just going to have to head out into rl and see what you can find .

JackieNo · 05/04/2007 09:29

This thread, harpsi - it's mahoosive.

harpsichordcarrier · 05/04/2007 09:30

I know Jackie and now she comes on this morning and links to a black tie front dress

harpsichordcarrier · 05/04/2007 09:45

it is a nice dress. but we did spend the entirety of yesterday evening finding you a flipping skirt

Boco · 05/04/2007 09:45

Seriously? The plain black dress? After imposing geometric pattern induced migraines in women all over the country last night, you're going for the black dress?

Boco · 05/04/2007 09:46

AND - i thought it was shop only, no online stuff.

JackieNo · 05/04/2007 09:47

It looks very elegant. But Internet Explorer doesn't like that link at all - keeps crashing when I click on it. I hope it's not an omen...

Off now to take DD to her theatre/dance thing that she's doing this week (she's Posh Spice, apparently).

NadineBaggott · 05/04/2007 09:47

unbelievable!
