Deep red

Oooh - (but 'washed black', so dark grey)
Pretty but again trapeze shape

here

Again, quite goth-inspired
Yum.
Stripes

gorgeous

simple and elegant

lovely cavalli printed dress

very breezy

gorgeous

evening kaftan?

i should point out that the second one from ASOS is cheaper on the Jaegar website.

I love the plain yellow Jaeger one.

cornsilk - like the coral dvf but want to wear again and again and wonder would i get fed up of the brightness of it by 3rd wear?

love colour of rebecca taylor but maybe too bare up top?

love pink temperley but over budget.

jackieno - not keen on grey acne - is prob better on but pic makes look shapeless and not like it cost £200! dear me - have just checked out your others and fear you have taken drugs since your lovely blue one earlier - they are too trendy and not elegant enought. am so far from goth like you could not begin to imagine!!!!!!

mreR - no to danna karen for many reasons inc price!

cornsilk - no to fessonia again for many reasons.

bliknks - not for me i am afraid. yellow is best but too drapey and not sure who can really wear yellow. think i am not keen on prints from looking at your choices and also like more fitted styles.

am realising i am leaning towards the blues poss because dream dress which i cant get (philosophy alberta ferretti blue one) is my perfect blue. also liking pinks.

oh help me please we get close then far away again!

ah you have all gone to bad! i had a visitor there. will try and do links tomorrow to my favourites from the above. like a couple of karen millen ones, a french connection one, a reiss one, an issa one.

can see if my shortlist helps and then you can vote on best one! thabks so much in meantime!

I like the multiway maxi dress and the Mia and Parisienne dresses myself. But I'm waiting to see what they will do for a sale!

There's an Alberta Ferretti store in London - I checked the website.

lol at 'drugs' - sorry, just thought if you liked the Vivienne Westwood ones, there was a chance you might like those All Saints ones . My Inner Goth obviously got the better of me .

morning and thanks so much for all the help so far.

am going to call alberta ferretti shop today if open or tomorrow re the blue one i want.

still open to ideas though and really impressed with some of the choices from last night.

Let us know what they say - will they send you one?

hi just an update - called alberta ferreti shop in london and they said they had never had the dress in question??!!! so no joy there!

. Bother. Back to square one, I guess.

NOt sure if anyone linked to any from Ghost? Depends how pale it is in rl, though, I guess. They even have a sale one that looks pretty. Don't suppose you fancy red? (I suspect they're not statementy enough, but they are lovely).

DvF ruffles?

Love this but prob too short?

Think I am drawn to this colour

I passed an LK Bennett concession today and thought that some of the colours were wonderful. Do any of these tickle your fancy?

lk bennett dresses

I love the heart dresses and they would draw attention to your waist.

blue

red

black

red westwood

zebra westwood

classic cut

jackieno - 1st too pale and a bit insipid iykwim but i do like vintage styles. 2nd is a real contender at a great price.

dairymoo - not black as have too many black dresses and want something a bit more stand out. love the colour of no 2 but agree too short and a bit booby on perhaps. love colour of no 3 - that is the ideal colour i would like but it looks a bit shapeless.

florence - love lk bennett though havent bought anything there yet. like the status one and am going to lk today to try some on. also trying on kmillen reiss and fconn that people have already suggested above!

bliknk - my heart sank when i saw debenhams come up but like that 1st blue one - will add to try on list. rest are just not me - esp zebra one!! thanks
