I might need a dress.

Like, not a black tie formal dress.

But also not a florally casual dress.

Got any ideas?

You know how bad I am at this dress thang!

You'd look better in a dress spaceface. In fact, I'd pay money for the privilege.

Now be a darling and try this on, won't you?

surefire way to get a boys only blog - make the header "Ladies" ;)

James! How's it going! All sunshine and roses and rainbows? I really hope it is :)

Eeeep yeah 150 a bit much moolah for me to spend on a dress methinks Phil! Unfort a bit casual too :/

Oh man I LOVE that blue dress - its great!

Asos is always my go-to when frantically looking for dresses, I'm hoping they can help me this time too!

Nice choices Leon.

I can vouch for the Vanessa Dress. I bought one just around christmas and, not only did it fit extremely well, I received quite a few comliments at my post-christmas work party. It's extremely well made, surprisingly so actually. The fabric is only slightly stretchy, the perfect amount, and a good, medium, to light-medium weight.

My waist isn't quite as small, in relation to my hips and chest, as most of the model's used on sites for this dress but, it wasn't too bad anyway.

Oh, that was supposed to be smaller. :/

Maybe something like this? (link is in the picture)

If that isn't quite it, what needs to be different?
Mya Jamila
Mya Jamila on Apr 20 '11 at 7:06pm
Ah. That's probably too casual. My bad.

What about these?

Or in burgundy.

angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 2:40am
Oh man those are great! Mya you look gorgeous!

Well, it's a dressy evening. So nothing too short/low cut/tight I think. But nothing too casual. Last year I wore this (please excuse stupid facial expression)



and I think it was kind of suitable. If a bit short. And I wouldn't do strapless again because I felt like I was going to constantly fall out of it.


So... something dressy-ish like that?

Modcloth! I always forget about them! Gonna google dress911 now too - thanks Kelsi!

French Connection and Warehouse usually have nice dresses in. I haven't been near any shops for a while, on account of my utter brokeness, but I would venture out on a shopping trip for you, if you wanted?

ooh! that black dress with sleeve slooks very nice.
mullmuggins
mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 3:37am
I think you should wear something colourful. This would look cute:

angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:31am
shopping trips ftw!

Definitely up for some colour, though I'm nixing the strapless option as I'm always paranoid I will flash people...
mullmuggins
mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 10:32am
But that's not strapless, it's one-shouldered - completely different kettle of fish!
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:32am
I kinda really love this, but I wonder if flowers are not formal?

See!

mullmuggins
mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 10:33am
That's really pretty. I don't know if it would be dressy enough though? What were other people wearing last year?
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:35am
Oh i didnt realise there was a strap behind the ruffle!
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:36am
hard to describe - i got the feeling that I could have been wearing something a little less formal looking and it would have been OK. But yeah, I think floral is to casual...

mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 10:43am
When is the awards thing? And do you have any colour/other preferences requirements? :)
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:45am
It's June I think?

Not sure if we'll be going. But I'm trying to think ahead just in case!

My requirements would be:

not a high neck - slightly lower or v neck works best
prob short not long
any colour, really
nothing that flares out a lot at the waist.

ha!

mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 10:48am
Let's go shopping one day soon! I get paid on the 28th, so next weekend?
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:50am
this is really pretty, but I think the colour might be a bit boring

angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 10:52am
yes! I can do the 30th - that suit you?

littlem on Apr 21 '11 at 10:53am

littlem on Apr 21 '11 at 10:58am

jeans and tshirt ftw. you can spend the money you save on a pair of really expensive trainers.
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 11:28am
but I have you to get me free trainers, don't I Dan?

Dude if I could wear jeans and a tshirt and jandals I would be happy as a pig in the proverbial.

Alas, it won't be the case :/

OK Anniepantz, keeping my eyes peeled!

Always a classic.

Always an option.

Thankfully, not currently knocked up.

mullmuggins on Apr 21 '11 at 11:43am
Yeah, I saw that on the zara site, it's really nice. Maybe try it on and if it looks formal enough?
angelito
angelito on Apr 21 '11 at 11:48am
I think I shall! Are shops shut tomorrow? I never know...
