The photo doesn't really do it justice imo. Its full on gorgeous colour and good quality sequins.

Talipesmum · 06/12/2021 19:54

Not sparkly but velvety and feels lovely and xmassy- really looking forward to wearing it!

Had I had an actual party / event / dinner with family etc I would have worn this. Sadly it's sold out ages ago, so couldn't even buy it if I wanted to. How I have found a floor length green velvet wrap dress with an deep V neck that I will wear. It's not as nice as this one, but it'll do the job while I stay at home and cook dinner for the family. We're not going anywhere or having anyone over.

@Campervan69 beautiful! @Talipesmum that is stunning- tiny bit out of my budget sadly! @iklboodolphrednosedpaindear you look stunning (even without a head!)

Aw thank you @20thCenturyGhosts

JaneExotic · 06/12/2021 20:20

I have THIS ONE from Next. It’s much sparkly than it looks and I think you can get it in green, too.
(Available directly from Mango if you want different sizes).

TheGirlInTheGreenDress · 06/12/2021 20:38

This one looks nice and if the two from Pretty Kitty that I ordered don’t fit, it’s next on my list of dresses to order www.dresseswithpockets.com/productdetail/619bc54cca5df0000809c59a/Popsy_Aurum_Black_%26_Gold_Sparkle_Midi_Dress

MarleneDietrichsSmile · 06/12/2021 20:44

I bought this on eBay this summer for £10

Plan to wear it with cold arms Grin

I didn't realise Next were selling Mango now, despite spending an hour or so browsing their site last night. Love that dress
Shannith · 06/12/2021 21:01

This one.

It's Ghost - picked up in a local charity shop earlier this year... for £1.

Probably not what you’re looking for but this is what I’m wearing. It’s a lot more sparkly in real life

iklboodolphrednosedpaindear · 06/12/2021 21:03

Believe it or not I got it from Amazon. I've got a 50s style net petticoat underneath it to make it stick out. I don't think they have the sleeveless one now but the 3/4 sleeve one in on there. Less than £35.

Runforthehillocks · 06/12/2021 21:15

I have this from Oasis:

Oh I bloody love this... Can't think of an event I'd wear it to though!
