Does anyone ike dress shopping? I don't & I need help

[KatyMac]

I need possibly 2 evening dresses

One short, one long, possibly the same colour

With nice thick shoulder straps so I can wear n industrial bra

& swirly skirt so I can dance in it

Oh & did I mention I need it/them to be really cheap

Or even a short dress and a long skirt I could slip over it

Thanks - if you can/will help

Oh no - no fake tan - I will look pale & interesting (DD has enough identity problems without that)

per una you could always sew on sequins!

another from M&S here

How about TK Maxx - they usually have 100's of weird and wonderful dresses.

Fashion not really my forte but good luck with dress and competition.

Oh forgot TKMaxx I will go off there

i like aefanged's £35 purple one too. Quite a purple theme going on here, d'ya think it would suit you KatieM?

blinks, love the 4th one

am too busy noseying at everyone elses links now

teal sassy dress

Aefangedkiss one might work
& Gigglewitch's Twiggy one

I'm confused by them all now

Thanks everyone

I am going offline for a few days - so I will revisit them all when I come back & see if I can decide then

Thanks you all again

another purple thing
very erm ballroom

I will bugger off as i have gone much too silly

i'm going too. mine went down like a lead balloon...

Not like a lead balloon in fact I was very impressed you thought I was young enough to wear some of those styles (I am 40 after all)

...was just being churlish...

yeah but 40 yo ballroom dancer - you must have the body of a 25yo

Umm 25yo blob

Nice legs (ignore cellulite) & I did mention the pot belly didn't I

Anyway having a lovely holiday in SOuthwold - just popped on-line at the library to see my emails (& get a fix of MN)

OK

I am back looking for dresses

I am thinking floaty, delicate for both short & long

Any (more) thoughts as I am fickle
