I need dress help!!!!

[Netty]

Help!!!
I am looking for a dress to wear for my dd engagement party this coming Saturday-I have been looking for ages now and they all seem to be very short and very young! And I'm 47! I just want something thats not too over the top, not to casual, not too short and not too young looking,
any websites or shops that you can recommend will be a great help thanks!!

I used to work in Phase Eight and Coast - they would both have things that would suit what you are looking for. Phase Eight in particular has dresses that fall on or below the knee and aren't too 'young'!

http://www.coast-stores.com/

They both have sales on at the moment

Well we're the same age Jeanette, and I have got my eye on this lovely dress from Monsoon, which I think is gorgeous for the summer

Let us know what you end up buying, and have fun at the engagement party

They are both lovely dresses! I especially the shape of the black and White one though. Classic

I would say if both fit and you like them get both as you never know when you may need a dress

Like your way of thinking!!!
I am still waiting for the black and white one to arrive, i have just seen another lovely dress on the site same style as the black/white one but pink floral also got a 25% off code on the dresses
