    Strapless, knee length, not purple, or entirely black. Basically I've got most of the Bay of E's listings of Coast size 10's that match that description and are at a decent starting price! I called in at Coast in Biscester Village last week (140 miles from home but on the way somewhere else and would have been rude not to call in!) Unfortunately there were only 2 dresses in the whole shop that fit the broad description. I'm sure something will turn up. It's for my Hen Day at the races (Ladies Day).

    The tree trunk base fits with our 'theme'. We've got a tree and apples on our save the dates and invites which runs through into most things (including the rock label design!). Next door to my parents is now a condemned cottage, waiting for the £££grabbing owners to pull it down. In the middle of the plot of land WAS a huge horse chestnut tree that we used to climb, play under around, collect the conkers etc. Sadly, one day, Mum came home to find it had been hacked down. A very sad day and a huge feature of the lane gone forever. I grabbed a piece of the trunk that night after they had gone (cried a bit) and had the idea that we'd use it in a signiificant way- after all, it was part of my childhood and would have been a lasting memory of the previous owners who I have very fond memories of, but have sadly passed away. Unfortunately the drying out process has caused the bark to split off and we can't use the original piece. Anyway, next door but one to H2B's parents have chopped their HC tree down and we've been to get another piece. Hopefully, we'll be able to get it treated quickly enough to use it on July 30th.

    I'm loving the sound of your hen do... Very posh! I shall keep a look out for dresses for you, when do you need it for?

    Also, I really love the significance of the tree bark, that's such a lovely addition to your wedding with it being full of memories, it's just a shame you can't use the original piece, but the memories will still be there when you look at it on your wedding day.

    I wish I had something that significant for my wedding :)

    TC1978 have a look at this link for dresses. Do any of them match the bill?

    This one and in a different colour from oasis is nice.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Thanks sexymouse! I'm liking that dress in the iris colour- add black heels, handbag and fascinator... very Kate Middleton without the Prince clinging on!

    And as for SamW 'I don't want to go to school tomorrow - I want to stay home and only work 3 day weeks and watch rubbish house-y tv and stuff forever! x'... I wish I'd not bothered- I came home in a foul mood, went for a ferocious swim (serious waves created!) and still had to eat half a big Cadbury's bar!!
