I want light and airy and sleeveless so they dont show sweat marks

Oh god.

I am so pissed off with looking.
Everything is either to fluffy and faffy and too heavy.

Why is it so difficult to get a simple, light dress!!!

I need slight empire line to hide the last bit of over hang.

Gap one and new look one doesnt work.

Got really excited then thinking Gap online was available in uk.

The first NL one is actually ok on closer inspection.
Just wondering which colour.

I'd look like a hippy in that one mmj.

Ticks a few boxes though.

We need to find the perfect dress.

Ahhh well, I'm only 5"2.

I love that dress tmmj linked to, I wish I was tall!!

jeangenie · 09/06/2008 13:05

how about this? I got it recently and have had lots of compliments - don't think is too dressy (wore camping last weekend) - bit too big for my tiny norks but would be great for larger norked amongst you (I need to take the sewing machine to it later I think)

OrmIrian · 09/06/2008 13:11

Like that one tmmj. I'm tall too so would be OK. Lots of nice stuff there.
