I would buy a Double J Long and Sassy dress but can't quite justify almost £1000. They are so beautiful.

I don't wear dresses but I wouldn't mind a Chanel jacket😉

I love Carolina Herrera dresses. I think they're very flattering. Have to be honest though, I haven't tried one on in ages so it might have changed.

I do really badly need this dress for an event next month …

@fleetress have you heard of Hurr? It's a website that does designer dress hire. Some of the things on there are lovely.

I love some of the Emilia Wickstead dresses - if I was getting married now I’d totally be listing after her bridal collection.

I've been eyeing this. In my mind I'm a bohemian free spirit waif, not a frumpy middle aged tired mum.

I’ve recommended Hurr all over S&B, @determinedtomakethiswork! Grin

Renting definitely has its place - but I’m of an age where I’m kinda looking forward to growing old with my clothes. And having once amazingly extravagant silk and velvet gradually become decrepit enough to be worn for gardening or binge watching on the sofa. Dunno about white leather …

The floral chiffon Dolche & Gabanna dress in Adele's music video Send My Love

A proper Viv Westwood number a la Carrie Bradshaw

I like the black Jigsaw crinkle cut black dress but can’t afford it .

determinedtomakethiswork · 12/07/2023 20:07

So sorry, @Fleetress! I was just reading about it today and didn't realise it had been recommended on here. I should've known!

@iggyspop I love that!

MandyMotherOfBrian · 12/07/2023 20:15

I’d wear a The Vampire’s Wife dress every day of the week if I could afford it.

Defiantlynot41 · 12/07/2023 20:17

Not super expensive (!) but I absolutely love this

If money was no object, I'd buy the full Widows of Culloden collection.

Oh well that is a beauty! Exactly right though. I want to be this woman but in reality the skirt would end up getting stuck in the wheels of a shopping trolley and I'd probably end up whacking myself in the eye shirt the tassels.
