I got a gorge dress from Debenhams thanks to Mrs B and others.

this one is lovely and would be fine for black tie (doesn't have to be long in fact most at ours were not - more generally useful then)

I like this as well tho not sure about colour.

I am taking it that we need something you can wear with a bra?

this is a bargain (I like the bright colours)

break the budget (not that I know what it is!

Nymphadora · 13/08/2007 13:02

OOh like the red one may need a trip to MOnsoon, how did I forget there for posh dresses!

Nymphadora · 13/08/2007 13:05

GreatAuntieWurly · 13/08/2007 13:14

Nymphadora · 13/08/2007 20:09

So basically I need to visit Monsoon, Wallis and a better Debenhams then I feel a tour of the country coming on

Have you tried Coast here online?

Nymphadora · 13/08/2007 20:22

Ok and Coast too

MrsBadger · 13/08/2007 20:26

if you;re on a budget Littlewoods have some crackers at remarkably sensible prices, otherwise I think you have covered all bases with Monsoon, Wallis, Debs and Coast.

Nymphadora · 13/08/2007 20:37

Now I am going to want them all

OP posts:
Clary · 13/08/2007 22:53

oooh yes my fave dress (apart from mine of course) at our school ball was from Coast.

A bit ££££ tho.

Don't forget shoes, jewellery, bag!

Nymphadora · 14/08/2007 17:11

Won't bother with a bag as I usually lose them love shoe shopping though
