OK, I am looking for a frock for a special occasion, this is what I have in mind, but in a deep red colour. Can you help me find it? (It's not for a wedding)

you might find something similar at Vivian of holloway my dear http://www.vivienofholloway.co...eck%20Plain%20Dress/
there is a couple of red ones in the satin page. you could get it altered to get rid of the top bit, or ask them to make it without?

I doubt it. Plus I won't be wearing it on the 29th, I'll be wearing a boiler suit that day as I am doing my second sky dive

I'll clickety click that link, thank you.
Just saw your 2nd reply, I really really do not want satin, would make it too bridal.
Cinds...
they are fab!! you go through the options and put together the dress you want... choose the fabric & the colour.. & they make it TO YOUR OWN MEASUREMENTS!
and they are not that expensive.. that dress in silk would be about ÂĢ95
Oh yeah, I should have said, it has to be strapless too.
ooooohhh I like that! And I like Gypsie's link..
my daughter is getting her leavers ball dress from style shake... we haven't actually bought one from there yet.. but my bessie mate has.. she is very particular about quality and she is really pleased with them. It was her that recommended them to me

I found this one earlier today, I really like it, but they only do it in a fabric called 'bridal satin' I might ring them on Monday. I imagine it in a deep red with a black petticoat.
these are daughters designs (she hasn't decided which one yet)

Does it? Does it really? Or do you just melt in to a mid-life crisis after realising you are mid-life?
Let's look at the evidence. I've lost a shit load of weight. I've sky dived, and I am doing it again, with the possibility of doing the full AFF course. I have booked a motorcycle lesson.
Oh yeah and last night in a restaurant, some woman admired my shoes, I said I hated them after wearing them 2 times as they slipped off my heel, she tried them on, they fitted her perfectly, so I gave them to her Seriously, I did.

Oh no, not sandals. She needs some killer 'nude' colour high heels to wear with that.

Yes it does! 40 is young these days, not middle aged.

that was no fat suit..... that was the result of too many roast dinners

It's only in the last 5 years or so that I started wearing really high heels. Because I am tall anyway I always avoided them, because I didn't want to stand above the crowd, so to speak. Now I don't care, my highest shoes/boots make me around 6' 4
I like this colour ,but there is a colour chart,so you can get Red.
