Chucky Mama Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I am going cross eyed trying to find a long dress suitable for a nearly 17 year old. They are going to winter ball and the theme is James Bond. All of the girls are wearing long dresses but not prom style. We are thinking along the lines of a long black dress. Any tips on good websites We have done ASOS and Miguided and what feels like 1,000s of others. DD is size 6-8 and 5' 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Phase 8? I've just been looking at one of their dresses in the Mail on Sunday 'You' magazine and it looks lovely, but they are not cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Are you near a TK Maxx? If so maybe worth a try!? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks, Phase 8 was a bit pricey and we have had a look around TKmax. I had looked at Boohoo but somehow missed most of the dresses in your link Emily They look good and I think we will order one from there and I from ASOS to try Just found a 15% off code for Boohoo dresses PARTY15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It depends whether she's likely to want to wear it again....if she isn't then take a look at everything5pounds.com - does what it says although if you see something you want then you have to order it straight away......

Chucky Mama Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 That is a great site Lesley, there is nothing suitable dress wise for now but it is definitely a site to bookmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It is a very handy site for teenagers who are going through a phase of treating clothes as disposable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Darn! Sorry but I've just put out the most glorious black halter necked long dress in that size - vintage 70s and in fabulous condition. Very simple and flattering. I'll check but I'm certain that I took that bag to the charity shop Lesley, don't know what Rosie will do when she has to wear a dress; if it isn't ports wear or trainers then she doesn't wear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Don't worry, there is one winging it's way to us on Monday. Fingers crossed that it fits as out other option sold out while I was waiting for a discount code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
