I need a black dress that's not too short and that has longish sleeves and that's not too =pricey

[IntergalacticWalrus]

As my manager would say, it's a Big Ask

Does such a dress exist?

I'm a bit porky (well, more than just a bit) and I have 2 parties to go to in the next few weeks (MN one and posh work xams do)

I need to have my arms covered. They are like badly stuffed chipolatas

?

Bump for you in search of holy grail !

My arms are not my best feature, must admit I tend to buy a dress that shows off the norks (so generally v neck bit slinky no sleeves) and then go for a shrug or funky cardigan (I currently sport a mid length sleeved version..

The bishop sleeved/bell shaped ones are quite groovy

I don;t mind a bit of cleavge, but I do have to be careful because I have large norks and enbd up looking a bit wenchy

bumpety bump

no cap sleeves eithe. they are not good on my arms.

For God sake woman - they're not that bad

( Hey check me out - I'm back on MN !!!)

Can't seem to add the link - but check out the Wallis web site - mid length dresses - many in black and many with sleeves

Oh god they are, thay are all wobbly and freckly. I wouldn't look out of place serving mashed potato and bewans in a school canteen, or going up the Gala for a game of housey hpousey with my arms, I tell ya.

(you have been away Too Long)

If only it were badgers ...... as you know M is a dab hand at them !!!

They have opened an Outfit in Longwell Green. I may have to check out the Wallis secion there

Oooh yes they have and ( checks furtively over shoulder) Word on the street say's there's going to be an M and S too !!

When are you going to go ??

Maybe next week?

I went wehn it foirst opened. They have a boots and a clarks too. They are alewo having M&S food and a boig new look

Tha laternative is this dress

but it's a bit low cut and my boobs might pop out, so I's need to waer something underneath it. I'sd also need some shoes and a cardigam or summat

Shall we make it a date ?? - I'll collect you and we can strap your 2 in to my car if you want ??

Is that the one you have just bought - it's fabbo !

Ok, ort you can park at mine, and I can drive, save farting with car seats.

can either do thurs or sat (idf sat, even better because I can come sans children)

Yes, boyught green dress before I went away.

I have to be careful with it, because it blows in the air and shows my pants.

I got a John Lewis (own brand) one a couple of weeks ago, can't find it on the website though. It was 40 pounds. Knee length, 3/4 sleeves with little frill, v-neck, looked very boring on the hanger but great on. If you're interested I can have a look for a style name when ds wakes up from nap in our bedroom.

Very Marilyn !!

Either Ok for me - as long as M is home on that weekend from his Hibernian jaunts - and I have finished enough work on the Thurs to allow me to go out !!

Sorry, wasn't looking properly. It wasthis one

That's nice - Oi Walrus have a peek - just the right length for you too

Mmm, that's quite ni9ce actially.

Got interruped by dozy bint doing a survey asking me daft questioina about mu buiness, like "is your turnover more than a million pounds a year" and "how many empliyees do you have" and "Do you use company cars" NO I AM A FARKING CELLO TEACHER
