Summer balls

Options
I will be attending my first summer ball shortly and am looking for a nice dress to wear. Does anyone know of any decent but reasonably cheap places to get them from in the Lincoln area?
Thanks

    Ebay, I get all of mine from ebay, I haven't paid over £30 yet, then if they get trashed it doesn't matter, if you go more than once than you an sell them and buy a new one.

    Debenhams and Monsoon are always good choices. There is a lovely one in Swaffham "Gills Boutique" that is in Norfolk near kings Lynn.

    I'm at Waddington, have tried Monsoon and Debenhams but they only have a handful and I bet I'm not going to be the only one wearing a dress from there!
