Gorgeous dresses my foxy friends! Am debating if I could fit into a size 12 by Xmas....finger was hovering over the 'place bid' button for a second!

I have a lovely dress for Xmas but am feeling a bit lacking in confidence at the moment. Weirdly I bought it when I was heavier than I am now, and loved it, but at the moment I feel like I would need to lose half a stone at least so that I don't feel self conscious in it. Either that or find a whopping dose of confidence from somewhere.

Hopefully your nice new fella should be able to help in that department!

Oooo Linda that is lush - shame they dont do my size!!!

Okay speaking of which I am going here for xmas lunchie:

So I need something smart, nice but not 'evening do' something...hmmmm tough one!

Edit: Maz I have something similar except mines not zerbra (just b/w patterned) and I love it! You can wear it loads of different ways - funk it up or down

Looks good! I'm avoiding our Christmas do.. always cr*ppy Christmas lunch in a hotel followed by cr*ppy disco followed by getting too drunk in the early evening, complete waste of time and money. Bah humbug

I quite like this one but I worry about it being see-through:


edit: they dont have pink in my size but they do have grey which is an option!

That's lovely Becky, grey is bang on trend (God I sound like Gok!)

but that's a really delicate pink, a simple little slip underneath should do the trick if you're worried about it being see through!

PLUS: You could remove the bow after Christmas and still wear the dress with different accessories for a different look! :T

Ours is free and we get the afternoon off so we're kind of obliged to go!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

(its still a bit rubbish though having to spend 4 hours in the company of some prize plonkers!!)

Our's is pretty much the same deal Squigg but last year we didn't have a Christmas do at all apart from each bringing something in and scoffing a 'Christmas' buffet thing in the staff room :mad: I called it the Christmas don't!

So... this year I'm going to go and blimmin well enjoy myself in my new dress.
I only get out about twice a year anyway!

Part of the trouble with ours is that a lot of people don't get on so it's quite awkward at times! We usually have a pub lunch for just our office which is quite nice, although I do miss the 'wearing a posh dress' opportunity a bit :rotfl:

Nice frocks girls. I never go anywhere that warrants dressing up posh. Our works doos involve a local eatery and much booze. OMG teachers can drink :rotfl:
