what is abigais party?

PatsyCline · 05/03/2008 18:56

Okay, I am thinking sassy, but no skinny straps, no shiny material. These are wedding friendly.

Hi NP, Abigail's Party is fab play by Mike Leigh about a drinks party that goes disastrously wrong. Alison Steadman was the most famous Abigal and she wore stuff like this:

the trouble witht eh KM ones are that they are all pretyy muted unless they ate pink - which would look awful on me.

CountessDracula · 06/03/2008 10:36

maxi dresses not sassy
more dippy

Beetroot · 06/03/2008 10:37

You do, Beetroot, and you can't have one because Planet Fashion is such a fickle, fickle place...

Could you post under the AIBU thread "Am I Being Unreasonable to Want a Blue Size 12 Galaxy Dress to Wear?". Thousands of the things were sold - some lovely MNer MUST have one lurking in their wardrobe for you.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
