Christmas Party Dress

23 replies

Hi all,

Please help!!

My sister is stressing about finding a dress for her Christmas party and has asked for my help. I don't have time to trawl through hundreds of websites as I have a toddler to chase after so I'm hoping the world of Mumsnet can help...

The requirements are

Size 14
Petite
Fancy
Midi length
Sleeves

If anyone has seen anything that fits the description please post a link and I'll be forever in your debt!!

I really like this but not sure if it’s fancy enough?!

Oh wow that was a good find then! It’s also nice in the red colour. I haven’t ordered anything from them so can’t vouch for quality just fyi! Smile

That's fine - as long as I can give her some options I'll be number 1 sister!!

I love that dress. Its amazing

GhoulMythicalMoooaning · 25/10/2018 20:26

The model is 5"11 though so may come down quite a bit further if you're petite

overthemoonbymidnight · 25/10/2018 21:04

She can always get it altered if it's too long!

Any other suggestions?

Love that first dress!!

GhoulMythicalMoooaning · 26/10/2018 12:04

True. Worth getting it if its a decent dress even if it does need a little alter.

overthemoonbymidnight · 26/10/2018 13:21

@GhoulMythicalMoooaning agree totally!!

@notmybag sadly no sleeves and a little out of her price range. Gorgeous dress though!

I’ve ordered that first dress, hope it looks as good on me!

overthemoonbymidnight · 11/11/2018 18:34

My fave is still that first dress - she's being so picky though! Thanks for all the suggestions so far!!

Oly5 will you post a pic please or let us know what it’s like when it comes, as I’m also still considering it :)

ChoccyJules · 11/11/2018 20:51

Am liking the first dress in the wine colour. And there is 10% off for new customers.

Oly5 · 11/11/2018 20:56

Yes will post a pic when it comes. I’m fussy about fabric and don’t want it to look cheap! Fingers crossed. It looks amazing on the model

ChoccyJules · 11/11/2018 20:59

I’ve just ordered it in the wine!!
