I neeeeeed a fantastic dress, please help

[Boco]

Going to a wedding in 3 weeks - I've had two unsuccessful shopping trips, trying stuff on and it's all been wrong wrong wrong.

I want something sleeveless as it'll be hot, i want something quite classic looking - that comes in at the waist - and is knee length or longer. Can't go over £80.

Anyone got any good links?

Please?

strapless?

Boco, go and look at the green L.K. Bennett one, was under £60 I think. You know, the one Franny and I couldn't link.

Franny i like it that you're listening to me, and talking, so that i will listen. You got the smarts.

Olive i love that colour - and shape, - liking it, but my budget is too tight. Getting paid for a job tomorrow, but if i go over £80 i can't stay in the fancy baroque hotel.

does turquoise suit you?

Another Monsoon dress . Although she says she bought it as a bridesmaid dress, put on wight and bought the size up. Surely she would exchange it for the size up.

topshop, may be cheap and minging looking in RL?

OMG Yeah! Mine's in the Czec Republic too. That's why I'm wearing this.

What do you think of this one lkbennett

Can't find the green one for £60.

Love turquoise - that ones really nice

Top shop one looks short - i'd look like i was dressed up as a child.

Here we go, quite sweet I think but over-budget am still just trying to get this to work. I bet it won't.

Spide lol. I believed you then, i was really excited that you might be a friend of cousin alexander.

Yes that L.K. one is nice but it's BLACK and I thought we weren't allowed? Okay, now I've worked out the linking thing I'll go back and try and do the other green one.

Perfect shape, not so good price.

black is ok if its not the main colour

Sheesh, sorry not under £60 at all is £9 over budget Do you like? Might be a bit plain?

I know you said not red but this is nice

tons on Debenhams

hmm i like it in an every day way, a bit land girls, but nice - but not a special lovely going away with no children to a foreign country and having parties sort of a way.

• that was to 100x. yes, red = problem with drugs / daylight.

too true. Okay we need a great party dress. That one at the start, was it Tutter's?, I liked that.

Might not be 'party' enough now I look at it again. Okay, I'm gonna keep thinking.

So far the turquoise monsoon one is in the lead.

I have to go work now - woman coming to pick up 10 paintings tomorrow at 1pm. I've finished 6. I'll be up all night. [mumsnets fault]

Thank you for your help

over budget but love it

I'll lend you a tenner if you like it.

It's a PROM dress

Loving BNWs - what's going on round the waist? There's a big loop i dont get. Love the shape and pattern. Need to find more money.

100x i like it alot, but am slightly concerned about strapless and norkage - do you need very big breasts to hold it up? I would hate to cause a stir if it fell down. 32c big enough to keep that dress above my knees?

Do more paintings!
I think the waist action on the Ben De Lisi frock is a corsage type thingy.
