Very cool and fun pinafore dress needed

Hi I am going to a cool party in winter, not a particularly dressy event, but I want to wear a dress. Here are a couple of examples of dresses I've found that would work well with a long sleeve top under, tights and flat ankle boots:

This is the kind of look but out of budget:

This i sort of like but not sure:

Would like a fun print so I can wear black top, tights and boots under.

Any suggestions please. Budget under £40 and I would also look on hinted for cheaper.

Lucy and yak have a sale starting today at 9 I think so worth checking if it’s discounted!

BarryKentPoet · 19/12/2025 09:02

Does anyone have a link to the sale? I cant see it on their website!

GanninHyem · 19/12/2025 09:34

Oh I'm glad people are recommending Run and Fly, I assumed they were still winding down after the owner stepped back and then passed away.

If you're going to buy Lucy and Yak at least buy it on vinted so you're not actively giving them money.

@BarryKentPoet , click where it says 'SALE - Up to 60% off ->'

What's wrong with Lucy and yak? (Genuine question)

Why not give money to Lucy and Yak? I’m curious….

Which is why I said old news.

They are very inclusive. That’s the problem. They think that men can become women. A man has lady feelings, puts on a dress and ta da he’s a woman!

Women have their breasts chopped off and they become men.
