    If I go ahead and order these they will arrive in store after 12pm on Saturday so it will be pick up on way to hotel. :o

    I might hold off tonight and ring in the morning I was a bit rushed looking today when I took the other one back.

    This is the one I got from S'ton, the back does do up not sure why model doesn't but leaves a peep hole. I think it is classy just not blingy enough. Length is perfect,

    This is my online bargain for a tenner

    And this is one I am contemplating buying.

    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_046020410943_-1

    Wish had noticed it the other night it comes in peach and black too.

    TS that last dress with the bling top looks so much more like a significant birthday dress. Black or silver accessories, sure you have black shoes or sandals that are already comfy as will be dancing the night away.
    It really is the perfect dress. I know a lot more about what you like now. Obviously the skater dresses where to do with the dress length. A other time Wallis is worth a look but for Saturday the bing dress with black skirt is perfect.:T

    Get it ordered in 2 sizes to guaranteed a fit:T

    Joe browns is one of my favourite labels. They also have their own online store but I don't think they do next day delivery although it often arrives quickly.
    Most styles are generously cut but not always. I bought their sun soaked dress a few years ago and loved it so much had to get another off eBay when it wore out.
    I always get asked where that dress is from and recently got my art teacher addicted to their clothes.
    Next do good next day delivery if ordered before 11 pm. No use now but worth remembering.

    If you like the plain one then find some amazing statement jewellery to wear with it. Or a beautiful scarf worn stylishly.
    You must feel comfy and happy and also a bit glam. Debenhams have great jewellery as do sainsburys and Next. Naebbirac would tell you l love a big statement necklace. Wallis is also worth a look.

    No mention of shoes. Do you have one pair that will go with everything.

    Excited for you.
    I have the dresses I want to wear to both my son's weddings despite the fact no dates. Probably be at least 2 years:rotfl: but they are in the right size now and can always be taken in if I shrink.

    Off to Bedford tomorrow and although it will not be last visit to Dads house most will be finished Saturday.

    Thanks VT, I did check earlier and the dress I liked was not available on their own website have a feeling it might be old autumn/winter style. I hadn't realised I couldn't do a C&C for the Joe Browns that's why I took the other one back today and got a gift card to reorder to save me dragging Mr TS down with his credit card for the return.

    I suppose the good thing is if I order a few to collect Saturday can always return them on Sunday as will be in town anyway. Talk about disorganised. :o

    Not worried about shoes as have :cough: :cough: a few pairs I have not even mentioned yet. :eek: :rotfl:

    Didn't read the Bunty but my neighbour drew a character called Billy Whiz (in the Beano?) and some characters inside a guy's head called the Numbskulls (was that the Beezer or the Topper?). ;)

    Just seen it is navy not black. Even better as navy far more classy.
    Now glitter sandals and navy bag. Nude hold it in tights for confidence or silky bare legs :j

    Yes being a short arris. :rotfl:

    I have seen some fabulous bling dresses but all too long :(, if a dress is meant to be just over the knee it ends up covering my knees and doesn't look at all right. I have to go for mini dresses that are not mini on me. :o

    Bit worried about one of the reviews on that dress though even someone 5ft said was too short for them.

    Do you think the black then not the navy that I have in my basket at the moment. Did you look at the peach? :o Really appreciate the help. :A That style still might be a problem for me as has a fitted waist band so might make the top half too long for me, that was a good thing about the skater dress style.
