So, I like the idea of this tea dress, but what is with that gap between the boobs thing - what goes there?

[Boco]

I need to find something affordable to wear to an evening event type thing. I would quite like to wear a nice dress. But not too eveningy or floaty or anything - just nice.

And this tea dress is ok shape but i'm alarmed by the big gap thing between the breasts [http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId =19551&storeId=12556&productId=624224&langId=-1&categoryId=&parentcategoryrn= what's that all about?]

Can anyone find a nicer one, but not too expensive? Please?

no but I realise am out of my style depth. Hope you find something Boco

hurrah!

even of the red one is no good Principles has lots of others - try the simple black one with an eyecatching necklace...

LOL whizz don't go
I was being rude and teasing you
yours were at least in budget

OMgoodG .. just opened Franny's red dress link

how extremely 70s

Hello Bee it took me so long pondering over red i x posted with you.

Ok, what shoes with red?

Will look at New Look too, that sil dress sounds lovely - like a teal wrap dress - in fact i'm wearing one in my profile picture, i could just wear that! But it's very old. I want to wear a new dress.

oh woohoo at trying on
come back whizz, we need shoes and jewellery next

I LIEKD COP OUT ONE

ma plalnngin to do thus at wedding recep tomorrow wearing this dress wiht this in blakc tied under bust and balkc high heeled suede shoes( new look years ago £20)

and a hugge fark orf balck sequin corsage( gap sale 5 years ago)

I'm not flouncing! takes more than that

holy shit .. have just read rest of thread

it's a very nice dress really

the first red dress was SO FAB
but the second one is pretty too

nah Twig it is the principles red one we have talked her into

What? But everyone loves the red one so far, don't give me doubts. And anyway, it's an art thing, artists are supposed to look a bit flamboyant no?

Bee, I asked today if I could bring a friend and they said NO Makes it much less fun and slightly more intimidating.

I have to wear a name badge apparently

I don't know what shoes
what shoes could you wear?
brown clompy high heels?

I thought it was vile a bit flouncy in an unattractive kind of way, too Twigs.

Twig thought it was the Monsoon one we were talking about

it is divine but I don't think we can persuade you

I'm all confused now ... which red dress are we liking? Please link it again for slightly inebriated and drowsy twigletts

Yes, link again, what red dress?

That whistles blue and green flower one was lovely

principles red ruffle?

MrsC I gazed at that one too. Too much money though.

if it art then wear black with an acessoryt hat will serve as a conversation pice

" Oh this old hting? pablo gavce it ot me back in 1962 in st tro"

mrs c yes that whisltes blue and green one is really nice. I am thinking of treating self

I do quite like the idea of the cop out with a flouncy addition though.

I'm so caught up in this I've just realised I necked a whole glass of wine in a matter of seconds...and we haven't even established hair up or down!

How annoying - would suit you perfectly. Red good too though

Good question Whizz. Have fairly long hair, so maybe up. Although have a kind of long fringe so usually doesn't look that neat even up.
