Maxi-tastic!!!

[tulpe]

Have just bought this for wearing to Chelsea Flower Show (but also for as general use ) and this for an evening do.

The second one is gorgeous - drapes beautifully and looks far more expensive than the 28 quid it cost

thanks tulpe. I have brown hair and am quite fiar skinned, however because I will be on holiday I am hoping that I will have a little bit of colour.

I bought a fab one on ebay 2 yrs ago and it is superb now i am 8 mths PG- will be looking for another one or two - thks for the inspiration ladies. I think strappy flat or low metallic sandals are the nicest with them , very grecian

Quick Update on the red DP dress: arrived yesterday and is really, really GORGEOUS

It looks absolutely stunning on and is a really vibrant but expensive looking red.

I'm actually going to buy that red one now for a works do I have, but any recommendations for shoes? I was thinking silvery strappy heels????

I think it would work with silver or gold strappy heels or flats.

I found a stunning beaded 1950's vintage evening bag to go with today in an antiques store. It's a gold fold-over clutch. Am really looking forward to this event now

Really tempted by that red dress. How is the fitting tulpe? I know DP can be generous.

Bag sounds fab Tulpe, I'm wearing mine to a graduation ball I'm organising for work so need to be dressy but not too much so I am very grateful you put the link up to that dress!!

cilldara - I would say the fitting is true to size.

SirCharlie - you are very welcome

Forgot to say, the halter strap is removable. I think for daytime you need the strap but for evening it definitely looks better without, imo

I got this from Gap in purple and is lovely on (a bit low cut but looks fab layered with coloured vest underneath....

MooMinCow I like that one from Gap - it was on my shortlist

This arrived today. Was a bargainous £16 with DP's "Fashion Thursday 20% off". It is quite voluminous but it is a lovely colour and would be great for taller ladies (it comfortably skims the floor on my 5'6" frame).

am determined not to buy any more maxis this season........

Thanks Tulpe.Will give it a go, especially with current special offers...can't go too wrong.
