    My favoured option is a good old trawl through the second hand shops. I work in a really posh area, and the charity shops and dress agencies have some amazing bargains. I mean, really really good bargains. A friend found a lovely designer dress the other week for under a tenner.

    It takes time to find things, but would a charity shop tour be worthwhile? It might even be worth travelling to a smart area to find the real gems.

    I wore a tunic and trosers to a wedding and didnt feel underdressed. I agree with others though and leggings are a no no x

    If you want a frock at a fraction of the retail price, and do not mind that it has been warn before....

    Goto say Debenhams or Monsoon, work out what suits and your size in different ranges, and then onto ebay to pick out a dress and then start bidding...... you will get a bargain........ you are planning early so have several months to win a spot on dress.

    Afterwards, you can resell the dress and probably get back what you have spent on it.

    You read my mind!

    Could well be, thanks.
