Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

[Cinnamon]

I wnet into reading today & while I was in Debenhams I stumbled across a gorgeous dress that I thought would suit my eldest for her Prom in July.

Its midnight blue satin,halterneck,skims the hips & flows into a full swirly skirt,just below knee length.

She has tried it on & it looks wonderful on her.....................

 

REDUCED FROM £80 TO £17!!!!!!!!!

 

I am feeling just a little bit pleased with myself

[Sheilaz]

Well done, Sarah! What a bargain & it sounds terriffic, plus no last minute panic nearer the time.

Excellent news!

[Cinnamon]

Still got to get the shoes,bag,jewellery though.

And possibly arrange a Limo to drop them off,although I am trying to talk them into going in the Panda if I decorate it up with tinsel & stuff.

 

There is a recession after all

[AnnieP]

How about a cart pulled by two donkeys Sarah?

The dress sounds fab!

[The Dogmother]

@ Annie

 

Want to borrow a green van?

 

the dress sounds delicious and she'll look stunning in it. We expect pictures of course!

[ubereglu]

Wow, bargain! We need a picture now!

 

I've set myself the challenge of making mine and am being driven by my Dad in our red Berlingo!!!

[hillfamily]

Wow what a bargain Sarah :D

 

DD is already planning her Prom Dress and it's not for another year yet

 

How about a cart pulled by two donkeys Sarah?

 

She hasn't thought about transport......I'll suggest this to her

[Guest]

My eldest hired a Limo with several of her friends. That way it didn't cost very much at all. DD2's friend had a father with an old car and he drove them, even dressed up as a chauffeur for them.

 

You're very lucky with the dress Cinammon. I have ended up paying £90 for a dress we didn't have. Debenhams!

 

Both my daughters paid for their own dresses though. DD1 got hers in a charity shop - a Monsoon long black silk sleeveless dress for £10. She did brilliantly.

 

Still got another daughter to go - and then I can try it from the boy's side!

[The Dogmother]

perhaps I should make soem money lending out my smart frocks - they don't get to see much light these days.

[Cinnamon]

To give a better idea of the shape,the dress is called 'Marilyn', as its very like the dress Marilyn Monroe wore famously over the grate.

Its one that looks like nothing on the hanger, but my girl has the most divine buxom Monroe-esque type figure, so it really suits her.....a bit too well if I am honest

[Cooks]

it sounds really beautiful, and WOW what a bargain price!

[ubereglu]

Sounds lovely!

 

Claret, I'd take up your offer of renting dress from you, but I have a feeling it might just be a little too short.

[Blackrocksrock]

Sounds a wonderful bargain - great for your pocket and for her not to have to worry nearer the time.

[The Dogmother]

Sounds lovely!

you're just 'slightly' tallerr then me Liz!

[Redwing]

That sounds like a lovely dress and dark blue is very classy

[Guest]

If they do hire a limo make sure it is properly licensed. The police LOVE to swoop on the school proms and do the limo's then the kids get left with no lift home and NO REFUND!

 

They get told by the school every year but it still happens.

[redhotchick]

More details please Sarah. It sounds lovely. I love halter necks.

Is it red herring? Or Star by Julian MacDonald? Debut? Something else?

I've tried a search for "marilyn" on the Debenhams site. No dresses, a thong though?!

[Cinnamon]

Its a debut frock.

 

I won't post a photo as,as I said,it looks like a limp rag when off the body.

 

I will post some Prom piccys when the time comes though

[Karen & co.]

Sounds lovely Sarah I have all this to go through next year last year was ES but a dinner suit and bow tie are a piece of cake compared to dresses and all that go with them

 

I might try to persuade ED to start looking in the January sales

Wow sounds a gorgous dress. And what a bargain! I love it when that happens. I bought a dress in M&S sale a few years ago. Its one of the Limited Collection range and is black, sort of empire line grecian style (sounds weird, but v flattering) and it was £5! I couldn't believe it! I have worn it so many times and it washes so well I will be gutted when it finally wears out.

[redhotchick]

Thanks for that Sarah. I will look for it.

Right Cinnamon - you inspired us!

 

Darling ED and I have spent the day prom dress shopping. Debenhams didn't turn up anything for us, but Monsoon's sale was fabulous.... too fabulous! Now we need the help of all you omleteers out there!

 

There are two wonderful dresses, both in the sale - reduced from £180 to £50 each. ED couldn't decide so I suggested we get both, bring them home, try them on with shoes and make her mind up as Monsoon are happy to have returns within 7 days. Now that we've got them home it's even harder to decide as they are both so beautiful.

 

We've taken a photo of each dress and we'd love to hear your thoughts. I'll start a new thread: please have a look and vote!

[Cinnamon]

I might have to have a look in Monsoon too now - I do like the idea of a long dress..........

[BarbaraJ]

i'd never go anywhere to wear a long dress lol

 

both my girls got theirs in tk max. eldest got hers first visit but youngest took weeks of going back to find the right one, both £40

[kitbag]

I went prom dress shopping today and this is the dress i fell in love with!
