    That is goregous Birdie. So pretty. Just remember you need a size up in most Lindy Bop dresses, especially if you're busty.

    Just had an eeep moment of my own. Bought the very expensive present for DH. A bit miffed because I wanted to use nectar points towards it to make it a bit more affordable but the one I wanted to buy was out of stock in all 8 shops near me. So I used my work discount of a whopping 7% - elsewhere. It was a bit cheaper there anyway so worked out more or less the same. May use the nectar points on Christmas gifts for other people to negate the cost a bit or some extra pressies for DH so he doesn't have only 1 thing to open. Know I should have waited for Black Friday/Cyber monday but I've never found anything I want in stock on those days and I am not going fighting in the shops.

    Also, I need new jeans. These ones are dangerously close to falling down whenever I walk.

    I also need new jeans, these ones are dangerously close to cutting off my circulation. There's also a danger that if I breathe out too fast I might kill someone as the button pops off.

    I'm not busty at all Code :( Some of reviews say that they had to take the top in so I'm a bit concerned that it'll just be hanging off me! :o

    Ooooh I've just seen this one, how fun is this for Christmas?! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oh my, that gilda green one is so beautiful! I'm really tempted now. But I'm not at all busty (not AT ALL), so it would probably look weird.

    May be worth checking La Redoute for jeans, massive saving to be had with the discount code! :money:

    There is just the skirt option. :)

    OK now I'm trying to choose a petticoat to go with the first dress, was initially thinking raspberry (because, pretty) but now I'm thinking green as it could then be worn with the Gilda dress (should I get it...;)), but will the green look OK with that first dress?

    With that neckline and the buttons, its better not to be busty. In the first dress I'd be spilling out. The second, the buttons would gape.

    Green or raspberry would look good with them both. I love the raspberry one!

    Anyone got any ideas (hello whitewing) for Christmas gifts for teenage girls under £20. One is 17 and the other is 15. They wear designer clothes and more expensive make up than I do so that sort of thing is out. I miss the days when they loved Primark!
