Anyone bored? - Dress help - URGENT!

I am going to a wedding next week. I am desperately trying to get a dress for it, and one that I can also wear to a posh regatta which is the following week.

I have literally tried everything, and now I need some MN help!

I am looking for a dress, preferably black but that is a variable, I want one that is a minidress, but with a full skirt, IYKWIM. Like a tutu almost. Slightly prom style, straps preferred but not essential as I would wear a contrasting bra or go braless if it was supportive enough.

I have a kind of quirky, alternative-y style, a bit like Peaches Geldof of Kelly Osbourne. I am a size 10/12.

If anyone is bored enough to help me find something.. I have run out of websites that I know!

TIA

Might this work?

JackieNo · 24/05/2008 16:51

OOh - look at these. Maybe too ott though.

sparklesandnowinefor5months · 24/05/2008 16:53

any of these?

DirtySexyMummy · 24/05/2008 16:54

JackieNo - on that page - the butterfly corset and pinkrara - I nearly ordered that earlier today! then I thought, no, it meant to be posh. Its a wedding after all!

I have quite a few tutu's and 3 corsets However, I am looking for something a little different, as I wear that kind of thing all the time (to events that is, not to tesco!)

sparkles - some were nice, maybe a bit too 'old' for me though?

Thank you very much though.

On JackieNo's last site there is one called a four-layer tulle prom dress, which looks very cute.

DirtySexyMummy · 24/05/2008 16:58

Yes, I actually do like that one, but not sure about the satin. I am so damn fussy

Hmm - difficult. How about this one?
How about this? Comes in black, see lower down for options.
this? Skirt still wrong, I think.

pickie · 24/05/2008 17:02

why dont you email the Ebay seller Nork recommended to see if they can sell it off Ebay and maybe pay over the phone or by bank transfer?

sparklesandnowinefor5months · 24/05/2008 17:16

this

DirtySexyMummy · 24/05/2008 17:28

JackieNo - dont like the frills so much, and the middle one I actually ordered! It didn't fit well, so its been sent back

DirtySexyMummy · 24/05/2008 17:28
