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

More understatedly, I'd also really like this.

No red wine that evening though.

This is gorgeous. Where is it from?

This one. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not horrifically expensive, but I’m beyond skint, so sadly, it’s not to be.

@Catspyjamas17 thank you. Thankfully it’s sold out in my size.

This for example 😍
Not so pricey really, I probably would buy it if I had an occasion to wear it to/wasn't breastfeeding/wasn't on maternity leave etc etc...

That's lovely. First dress on here I could imagine wearing !

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 14/07/2023 12:13

That's lovely too @doglover90

Omg yes! Love every single one of these. And I’m not especially into Victoriana but these are amazing.

Simonlebonbon · 14/07/2023 18:47

Chotronette! This one!
About £1500 I think

Elie Saab, some of the dresses are just stunning.

This one:
gorgeous

I had a windfall and almost bought it, but sense prevailed, dammit.

That is definitely gorgeous 😍

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

Get it! Be all floaty and gorgeous.

They’re beautiful. I love the velvet jackets on there too.

Shakenbutbarelystirred · 14/07/2023 21:30

You don’t ‘just’ need money though. I also need the figure and the occasion!

Shakenbutbarelystirred · 14/07/2023 21:31

Actually - and the shoes. I don’t do heels so I would need one that looked good with sensible shoes!

halfpintshandypants · 14/07/2023 22:29

I get you by the right dress flatters the right figure I reckon.

This Dolce & Gabbana dress. I saw it in the shop window a couple of years ago and fell in love.

A couture Chanel or any high fashion would do me.

Oh, I really like that Sad

I covet something long sleeved from Balmain. And some Missoni. Amongst many others.

Mosaic123 · 15/07/2023 01:36

I would have a dress made to fit me exactly by a top seamstress. We would design it and choose the fabric together.

It would fit my 5ft height and slightly weird shape absolutely perfectly and be comfortable.

NotAllPets · 15/07/2023 07:27

One I’ve been coveting on Etsy, but it’s over £100, probably more like £160 after shipping and taxes and I just couldn’t afford it!

bubblecity · 15/07/2023 07:43

basically anything by 16ARLINGTON orrrr the Galliano for Dior newspaper dress worn by Carrie Bradshaw in SATC... currently for sale on 1stDibs for £190k.....
