21st Birthday Dress

GemJar_2

Okay I am in desperate need of a party dress for my 21st birthday thats as cheap as possible - it has to look good on a size 12/14 person! I have shoes/handbag to match any colours so any ideas would be wonderful!

Any ideas about style or material? i.e. do you want long or short, do you prefer fitted or more flowing dresses, strappy/sleeves/strapless?

There are a lot of dresses out there!

I like these, but not sure if they're within your budget or not?

No idea!! Probably a more fitted style dress- (but not too fitted) and I prefer things without too much of a patten but thats about it for my restrictions!

Oooh, I can't decide between the either! I want both myself

Have pm'ed you a code for £5 off at ASOS from a diet coke bottle - I've got 4 of those codes now, and I'll never use them all!

I'd say the first one, it's much more forgiving on a 12/14 figure like myself IMHO

I thought that- might order both try them on and send one back sounds like the only option atm!

Gem Jar have you had a look in warehouse? they have 25% Elle discount at the moment and also the outlet have some good bits too.
Great for 12/14 and the curves!! Warehouse is my favourite shop!!!
