[Clueless1980]

Hi. Wondering if anyone could give some advice- looking a “wow” dress for an event next weekend. Dress code is cocktail, looking something slightly below the knee, no other requirements but I do like dresses that are a little different. Budget is about £250-£300 max. Has anyone seen anything?

What do you mean by different? What colours do you like?

Thanks for your reply. Mean a little bit different from the usual coast/Karen millen/reiss

What about something from Nancy Mac? Vintage influenced styles but def not the rockabilly type! Nice fabrics/colours and not kitsch

What size are you Clueless?

What sort of shape and what's your colouring? Are there colours that you particularly like?
Bits that you like to hide?

Hobbs Stellie?

With that sort of budget, there's a good selection on Outnet.
Red halterneck?

Great ideas so far, thank you all. Colour wise preferably not red or orange. Style at the top can be variable but I have visible veins ad the very top of my calves so preferably below knee length

Needle & thread is always above website for this sort of thing.

Ooh peas that dress is gorgeous! Wish I had an occasion —and the budget— for it.

Fucks sake why doesn’t my new phone do the double line cross out thing?!

I love self portrait dresses.

Thanks so much. Googling like mad now!

ColinsVeryJolly You need to use the formatty options below. If you click on the italicy one in the last column, it’ll put 2 hyphens in for you, rather than your phone joining them up.
