Ladies...Dress Help needed please.....

Topics

I have a Christening on Eater Sunday (4th April) and I can't find anything to wear. I'm hoping you lovely Ladies can post on here if you see anything you think might be suitable....

I think I want something Summery that I can wear again, maybe a little floral number? Nothing too OTT, maybe a little summer frock that I could dress up to go to the pub in or dress down and just wear casually....not a lot to ask I know

Oh, and it can't cost a fortune, I am poor

I may have to buy new shoes to go with the dress as well **sigh**

I'm not one for showing alot of clevage, mainly because I don't have one, and, I am 36 so nothing too 'young'...help me!!!!

Wallis:

http://www.wallis.co.uk/webapp...615590&langId=-1

This dress could be dressed up with a hat (maybe white with a white cardi or shrug over the top?) and matching accessories (although keep the accessories to a minimum cos it's a spotty dress)

Or there's this one

Or this is a bit more occasion wear:

Also try Debenhams, they have a range of designers aswell and I'm sure you'll find something there

Short, knee-ish length if possible

Just hoping the weather is a little better then, but i guess I could sling a cardigan of some sorts round me if it's chilly

Monsoon has some nice stuff

Sorry Did's I dont know if you wanted colours? The dresses I've listed are probably ones I'd go for

I love Monsoon, but they are pricey

E-bay would be a good bet aswell Dids. There are a lot of stockists who sell brand new designer/more expensive stuff at a fraction of the price

Oh my Karma...thanks

I never think of Wallis, and i love the polka dot one...I'll go have a try of that at lunch time....

I wouldn't have to buy new shoes wither as I have loads that will go with that

Monsoon...I never think of that either as we don't have one in Bolton...a trip to the Trafford Center **shudders** may be un-avoidable...

I'll try ebay as well..thanks

I have some gorgeous shocking pink shoes from Faith, so I guess if i wanted colour I could go for something to match them

this should go with your shoes DID

The polka dot one (the first one) is my favourite too! Maybe some white chunky beads, a white shrug/cardi and a black bangle (and a white wide brimmed hat - although that's up to you) , think that would look pretty alright

The good thing about that dress is it can be dressed up or dressed down, it would also go with a flash of red. xx

i like the first polka dot one that karma has posted too

Popped in Dotty P's yesterday but couldn't see anything

If you find anything will you post it as you usually post things that I like in the Clothes thread....

A good padded push up-bra would sort you out missus

Or you can have some of my chest if you like

I have lots of padded bras Karma

Can you post some to me, in a padded envelope of course

I saw a nice polka dot dress yesterday, but dont remember where

I thought it would look nice with my red belt

Get your thinking cap on Saz

I quite like this DiD: http://www.oasis-stores.com/St...p-product/4470059961

I could def see that down the pub with some flip flops/gladiators, but I've got to be honest, I'm not great at dressy things... I like the embellishment though, and you could wear a cardi/shrug and some chunky bangles?

3/2/103:18 AM

The Devil In DiamanteMember

Oooo Saz, I like that as well

3/2/103:30 AM

SazBombMember

I love the embellishments at the top DiD

3/2/103:49 AM

SazBombMember

I think this was the dress I saw yesterday

http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk...ult,pd.html?cgid=301

Definitely needs a belt though, which is probably why I was thinking about the red one I have...

I like this. It would be nice with a cropped cream cardigan. It`s only £14 DD so I don`t know what the quality would be like.

'you can have some of my chest if you like

Bet you say that to all the boys

On the spotty theme, I also like this: http://www.asos.com/Mango/Mang...ort=-1&clr=White

But I'm not sure how good it is for smaller boobs, all the focus seems to be on the bottom

3/2/104:16 AM

SazBombMember

I have got sidetracked

I'm loving this atm: http://www.newlook.co.uk/19389.../ProductDetails.aspx but I'm just not sure... maybe cos its white

3/2/104:18 AM

The Devil In DiamanteMember

Thanks so much, all of you...I have so many shops to visit now

I'd not really thought of spotty frocks but I'll definitely try a few on now....

3/2/104:19 AM

SazBombMember

should we stop now then?

3/2/104:23 AM

ScottyMember 10 years

I love that Saz..the black and white Mango one.

I`m not keen on strapless so a nice little black bolero cardigan would be great with that. I think I might buy it..thankyou

Sorry DD
