I want something really nice, short rather than long and I'd prefer a colour. Can anyone help? It doesn't matter if it looks fairly short as I'm only 5ft 3 so will probably be longer on me anyway!

What is your colouring
What szie are you?
norks?

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 12:14

Pale, dark hair, see profile for pics. Size 8-10 depending on what it is. Big boobs at the moment as breastfeeding still, last measured at 34E but I think I'm 32 as I was measured in pregnancy, usually 32 back size.

What sort of budget?

JackieNo · 14/01/2008 12:39

How about something like this? Flattering for the norks.

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 12:39

Hmm no set budget but nothing that costs hundreds! I bought a dress for dh's Christmas do for around £100 and that wasn't too bad but I don't want to spend more than I have to.

Not keen on floral prints really, thanks though

JackieNo · 14/01/2008 12:42

Ok - no problem. How about sparkly?

MamaG · 14/01/2008 12:44

Hurrah J-No's here! Will leav eyou in her capable hands...!

JackieNo · 14/01/2008 12:46

(I've got to go off to a meeting in about 10 minutes though, sorry).

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 12:48

That's ok but I wanted something with a more "Wow" when you see it.

OP posts:
JackieNo · 14/01/2008 12:49

More pink (though the pic's a bit small)

ja9 · 14/01/2008 12:51

oh i think that sparkly dress would look lovely on you...

JackieNo · 14/01/2008 12:53

Strapless? (sorry - off to meeting now).

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 12:57

I like that green one, wonder how my boobs would cope with strapless though!

OP posts:
JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 12:57

Oh and thank you for helping

OP posts:
JackieNo · 14/01/2008 15:11

Back now. How about something like this? Or another green one - they might not be short enough though. This looks nice, but you'd need the right bra.

witchandchips · 14/01/2008 15:24

what about
this one from coast

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 16:08

Ooh those last 4 are gorgeous! But which one

OP posts:
JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 16:08

And thank you both

Probably worth having a wander round some shops - Monsoon, especially, as they'll still all have the Christmas party dresses reduced in the sales. Hope you find something you love.

JodieG1 · 14/01/2008 17:22

Thanks again, I'll try but I never really get a minute to myself to get into Cambridge. Can't really take the 3 kids with me, last time I tried I gave up after about 5 mins hehe.
