sorry fio? am recommending the red floaty one which is very eveningy imho but perhaps a bit off the spec...

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:48

How far are you from Purley in Surrey? I can recommend ACE dressmaker there.

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:50

was a while ago though which does you no good, was from the jasper conran range i think

brimfull · 09/05/2007 16:51

I don't think you should worry about sleeves,think you're being too paranoid about arms,nobody will be giving a fig's arse about arms.

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:51

or maybe betty jackson

NotanOtter · 09/05/2007 16:52

I ACTUALLY THINK THAT LILLAPIN ONE COULD BE FAB

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:52

I understand the sleeves thing, I have spent most of my adult life looking for evening wear with sleeves!

NotanOtter · 09/05/2007 16:53

Sorry caps

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:53

Mine was black knee length deep v with a wrap style. Very simple elegant and gets me lots of compliments,

If you put a paper bag over your fishy gills you can wear primark cos' no one will know ya. Sorted.

I did see some sheath type dresses in the window of Debenhams today. Don't know which make they were. There was a beautiful raspberry coloured one.

twinsetandpearls · 09/05/2007 16:54

have checked the website they don't have it now.

bossykate · 09/05/2007 16:56

ok fio, think we need aibabt? (am i being a bit thick?) emoticon

btw what about a shawl/pashmina with a sleeveless dress? anyway aren't you only a size 10/12? am much larger and don't worry about arms too much, though perhaps i should

love this one

ggglimpopo · 09/05/2007 17:02

Do you have a gerard darel near you? They always have a range of slinky evening dresses. None on the crap website though.

MrsBadger · 09/05/2007 17:14

you don't do red though, do you?

square neck though

Mercy · 09/05/2007 17:14

I know this one doesn't have a v-neck or sleeves but is this the basic shape you are after?

ignore the colour too!

MrsBadger · 09/05/2007 17:18

have an idle scroll - JackieNo always finds absolute blinders here

brimfull · 09/05/2007 17:18

THat is gorg mercy,probably not her colour though

bossykate · 09/05/2007 17:19

cod likes that dress (which is currently in my wardrobe) i'll have you know!

MrsBadger · 09/05/2007 17:22

MrsBadger · 09/05/2007 17:23
