Grey silk cocktail dress , have looked everywhere??????????

[melsy]

I seem to have a fixation on this as wanted a top the same a few weeks back. I have several occasions that call for a dress , but I want one quite modern and drapy and preferably on the knee as this suits my leg shape.

I bought one in Wharehouse on Saturday (although not on their website) and just showed it to my sis who thinks its far from flattering, Im beginning to agree!

Tis a shame as the top half around the chest area is nicely designed - long rever collar that ends in a drapy knot with satin sheen,low v, folded back short sleeves and the body area is more matt. It feels good to the waist, but the bottom half combines a drapy tulip shape with a 1920's style deep gusset thing and I look severly pear shaped in it and come to think of it frumpy!!!

Thats quite cute. Really not sure about the bubble thing on me though, such shorty I am.

I love the £200+ dress!!!!!!!!

Me too. That's my favourite so far lol. Typical isn't it? Mind you, it's ASOS, it'll be in the sale for about £2 in a couple of weeks!
