French Connection have some lovely ones but I always think they are quite expensive.

What colours would suit?

brimfull · 16/05/2010 19:36

she's dark haired /blue eyes

suits blues/greens etc

she has been eyeing up nudes but not sure if they will suit her

OP posts:
scurryfunge · 16/05/2010 19:56

If I was v skinny and tall and didn't mind polyester I would have this it is very cheap and could well be hideous irl Comes in silver too.

brimfull · 16/05/2010 19:58

scurryfunge -even tighter cat's bumface on that one-lol
she is only 5'3 so want soemthing short

blondie09 · 16/05/2010 19:58

have a look at other dresses on there, not too expensive. Also get dd to try asos.com, lots of choice there. Hope you find something

janeite · 16/05/2010 19:59

very cheap indeed

scurryfunge · 16/05/2010 19:59

Ah ok....back to the drawing board!

scurryfunge · 16/05/2010 20:03
