I think will be great if you are tall with good arms. I am liking the elephant also.

I do like it a lot. I would not have sufficient bosom for it personally so would not usually examine it in detail but it looks lovely and also wafty and cool for hot climes.

whereabouts in Greece are you off to Ronaldinhio? Dress is fabulous btw and can see myself sporting same in Skiathos in June. Do you have a special occasion during your hols or is it just a "sod it, I love it and I'm going to wear it" moment?

Just a I'm going to wear it moment.
I'm trying to be holiday proactive this year..planning outfits and accessories but the reality is that our cases will be stolen and I'll wind up in paper pants for the 10 days.

I'm so, so excited. We going to Halkidiki.
Even if it snows whilst we are there I can't wait!!

I actually was flicking through without looking at the pages and thought that one was lovely but carried on as didn't think I'd reached the right page.

So I liked it even without knowing it was the one!

That's a really good idea to be proactive if you're going on a 'proper' holiday - I usually have to make several last minute dashes and grab whatever's in sight, with DH waiting grumpily for me at home asking why I have to spend money 'just because we're going on holiday.'.

I'm not a huge Monsoon fan but it's honestly great.
Even my fairly catatonic dh noticed my practise wafting/striding/twirling in it this evening

how did you get it already, it says coming soon, are you a secret sleb with priorities, oh ok then, I want one too then, a lovely , wafty dress, you will look very much like a grecian goddess with style, much better than the elephant costume anyway!

oliviasmama · 08/04/2009 07:21

oooh I like it

BunnyLebowski · 08/04/2009 08:53

It's gorgeous

TrillianEAstraEgg · 08/04/2009 09:07

Oooh, I want to waft about in a long dress too!

bratnav · 08/04/2009 09:15
