they do little suits in next. and a posh dress would be fine for your DD

MerlinsBeard · 22/08/2007 12:03

one suit here

MamaG · 22/08/2007 12:20

I'd say pretty dress for DD

Smart trousers & shirt, possibly tie for DS.

I don't think you must put DS in black tie

PS where the heck have you been! I haven't seen you for millions

TheMaskedPoster · 22/08/2007 12:29

yes, yes agree with all the other replies...

MamaG - lulumama has been sunning herself in Spain

MamaG · 22/08/2007 12:30

oh! Jammy sod

Pretty dress fine for DD1 and shirt and trousers for DS.

Do you have an appropriate dress for DD1? If not maybe I could send you something on loan? It's actually 18 months but she might fit it?

BHS has nice trousers, shirt and tie combos for children. They do whole suit/shirt/tie deals for about £40/50 iirc (no wedding stuff though, which is what I was looking for) I found it almost impossible to find smart trousers for my boys when we were looking at the beginning of August, it seemed to be either school trousers or very casual trosers - jeans, combats etc. Luckily for us BIL decided to have DSs as 'pageboys' so they paid for overpriced stuff from Debenhams for them

lulumama · 22/08/2007 14:32

helloooo!! sorry, i got distracted, then went out with the children

thanks for the replies..and TC, thanks for the offer of a frock..very kind

mamag - i have indeed been in spain, but i missed you the most

thanks all x

jeans, white shirt for DS and party dress for DD.

thomcat · 22/08/2007 14:55

Well let me know. As i say it's 18 months but might fit.
It's very posh and very lovely. will try and find a pic of DD2 in it. It's from Fortnum and mason and only ever been worn once.

cylon · 22/08/2007 14:57

pretty dress for dd
nice trousers or jeans and a shirt for ds.

lulumama · 22/08/2007 15:30

thanks all

might be able to borrow off a friend, with a similar aged DS..would like to see pic of dress, TC, sounds uber posh ! DD just had a growth spurt but still petite
