Where can I find a duck egg blue coloured satin fish tailed skirt from?

Yes, I know, that's quite a few key words! It's just that a while back I bought a beautiful tulle top in that colour, heavily beaded but don't have anything to go on the bottom half except for sparkly jeans which doesn't do it justice and isn't appropriate if wearing it to a wedding.

Tried ebay and saw one or two possibilities. Any wise mners out there who could help me? Thanks.

Sorry! Wedding. OK. Buy a dress on the high street.

Not on me. I've tried to describe it. It's not fitted in the same way as a corset style top so maybe satin pencil skirt wouldn't work afterall. They had a dress like this in coast but sold out well before the sales. I would imagine that they had a matching skirt at the time. This was one of those impulse buys at the time which dh said I'd never wear and was far too expensive just to have. Grrr, hate it when he's right but can't bear to sell it and want to wear it with something for occasions.

It sounds lovely. When's the wedding? Soon, or do you have a bit of time to look around for something?

Hmm. Top is far too extravagant to go with a fussy skirt so needs to be as plain as possible really. Might just give up and go to bed now as I see I have opened this up to ridicule. It's getting late and my SOH is waning!

Nope, not the one that you linked to Jackie but yes, it's a two piece. More bluer than that one, that's green imo. I shall take a picture and put it in my profile once I've worked out how to. Shall do that tommorow some time and bump the thread at around 8pm ish if you're around. Thanks everyone!

Thought you were going to say need skirt for my little girl's Little Mermaid outfit!!!

Yes go for brown not the same colour or you need exact fabric and colour match and then will look odd top to toe in duck egg blue satin!

Why do people feel the need to make horrid comments - The lady has a top is a nice top and just want help matching it to a skirt no need for the bitchness!
