What kind of style are you after? Budget? That will help narrow things down.
Someone suggested Farm Rio on here recently, fantastic dresses

Good points. Happy to pay up to £300. Style hmmmm. I like statement rather than classic. Something with interesting details.

Hello,
How about taking a look at Sister Jane or Joanie, both have been suggested on other threads.

I really like this suggestion. Thanks for Flannels website too they have a good selection to browse.

When you say "fancy restaurant" what sort of "fancy"? I was at one last night-which was definitely fancy- the type where they explain their concept and how to order. The bill was £100 per head, with no wine.

The Klements and Alémais dtesses would have been fine , but you would be far the most dressed up there. The Self Portrait dress would have been OTT.

Tallulah and Hope have some nice dresses and jumpsuits around £250-£300. I really want one of the jumpsuits and might get one for my birthday in April.

I don't mind being the most dressed up!

Does it also not depend on the time of year and context? E.g. most Farm Rio dresses have quite a tropical vibe and would look a bit silly at this time of year.

It depends on the restaurant obviously. Where I was last night anyone wearing the Alémais or Klements dresses would have been the best dressed person there but not out of place. Anyone wearing the Self Portrait dress would have looked as if they'd gone to the wrong event.
