Posted several weeks ago searching for a red dress to wear to my 40th birthday party. You guys came to the rescue with lots of ideas and I fell instantly in love with Vivien of Holloway.

The party was last night and I had a ball. I loved my swishy, burlesque-y dress and just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU. I never would have found this dress without you.

If anyone wants a sneaky peek I think I have created a profile with a few pics.

Thanks again everyone.

I had nothing whatsoever to do with your dress success but off to sneak a peek at your pics. Glad it went well and you felt like a babe

You look fantastic in the dress

Oh thank you, but it was all down to that amazing dress. I felt fantastic, hence the big big grin.

I love this place - should have mentioned it in my mad rambling speech!

Actually brave doesn't sound much of an endorsement

Should probably point out that despite the dodgy colouring/lighting in some of the photos, the dress is not made of a wet-look PVC

You looked amazing! Stop veggie out in Waterstones and buy some proper clothes! You have a lot to look happy about.

If I look that good on my 40th this time next year, I will be well pleased!

Thank you oh Thank you

I will print out this thread and get it out when I'm feeling particularly haggard (most school run days)

Wish I could remember who found the dress for me (must search talk topics) I want to buy that woman chocolate!!!
