Christmas party dresses

Even the model in the ad probably doesn't look like an air-brushed photograph, in reality, number!

Me new dress came today! It`s nice, and it fits, but I don`t look like the model in the ad, never mind, can`t have everything!

Maybe PPP goes to a different class of party to the rest of us.

Yes Nellie, the last one, modelled by a pretty (and slim) young thing, exactly the opposite to me! I`ve taken the plunge and ordered it, but no need for the pinny Elegran, no way will I be cooking in it!

I see that PPP never bothered to reply!

number There are a lot of dresses in those photos!
I will assume you mean the last one which looks lovely.

Good value - have it, number, it has your name on it.

number That is a lovely dress and a good price. If it fits, wear it and feel good. Don't clutter it up with too many extras - it will look best worn simply. And wear a pinny when you are cooking - don't want to get turkey gravy on it.

Number I'd get it if I were you

It`s hilarious isn`t it Jess? I`ll bet all of us would have adhered to it, don`t you think..............not!
Well, I`ve taken the plunge and ordered the dress, fingers crossed that I won`t look too ridiculous in it!

Yes I think you should. As long as it fits ok.
Just read the sex education advice for brides - taken my breath away.

And please be brutally honest............but not too cruel.

number Get it! You deserve it ten times over!

By the way, I can`t do links, but there`s a picture of the dress in my profile. What do the folk who`ve met short, fat me think it will look like on me?

For the last few weeks I`ve been looking at a dress in the Marisota pop-up ads, it was £48, which I`d never dream of paying for a dress. Then another pop-up the other day said it was now £35, I started to ponder it, then today it`s down to £28.50. I don`t have that much actual cash to spare, should I use my credit card to treat myself, or just do without? I don`t desperately NEED it, and it won`t look on me anything like as nice as on the model, but oh, I w-a-a-a-ant it!

How very dare you!

What sort of party dresses do you like PPP?
Or is it perhaps better not to ask?

What a frumpy lot of party dresses selected. Let's hope they look better on than in the photos!

It's a good job we I don't use skype to much as the mess you would see on my bed at the moment would frighten the life out of most people,I am deciding what to wear for the Christmas lunch with neighbours this pm and went to put out my tried and tested black top only to find I had left it at my sisters house in GUILFORD ????
All the black and white combinations are now strune across my bed and the temper is rising,why do things seem a wee bit too small I have been excercising and not stuffing my face with goodies for ages (waiting for xmas),I think I will have to wear cross over top and loosen the ties and hope the bulges are disguised enough to get away with it.

I meant skirt^^

This could look good with either a skit or trousers

What great taste in clothes you all have! I'm trying hard to not to splash out on a lovely dress now...

Have found these I like from John Lewis, Daxon, Phase Eight, Debenhams and Monsoon. Too much choice!!

Ohh thanks Mulberry. Not keen really on that dress you've linked to (sorry), but have found this one on the Daxon site: www.daxon.co.uk/crealine-ladies-metallic-jacquard-fabric-dress-black-jacquard.htm?ProductId=009301433_VP063821188&FiltreCouleur=6556&CodBouw=063821188&t=2
