I have been desperately searching the web for a Silk Tartan Dress to wear to BIL's wedding. I quite fancy a wee slip dress with a wrap or something.

Can anybody help me find one? Please!

which tartan do you need?

newgirl · 02/05/2007 21:31

well thats true indeed! i just think you have so many things to choose from why make life hard?!

tigerschick · 02/05/2007 21:33

Are you the bride or a guest?

MrsBadger · 02/05/2007 21:34

Actually on reflection I'd get a silvery white prom dress or shift thus or thus and a wrap, myself, or even this one and replace the ribbon with the right tartan .

Or might be worth ringing these people?

MrsBadger · 02/05/2007 21:37

might raise a few eyebrows...

I'm the guest. My ds2 is wearing a wee tartan kilt and I just fancy having a tartan dress. I know, I know why make life hard!!

I would love tartan McCallum (no chance) or maybe Black Watch tartan, but I think using a ribbon sounds a great idea.

If worse comes to worse will just have to marry dp of 10 years and get a tartan wedding dress!!

Mrs badger lol at me in that wee tartan number!! Bridzilla would never forgive me, she's already taken MIL out to shops and forced her to buy a naff outfit!!

MrsBadger · 02/05/2007 21:48

tigerschick · 02/05/2007 21:49

tigerschick · 02/05/2007 21:50
