I lurve. And I bought a maxi dress from the same place, it's sleeveless but I'll attach sleeves myself

so that's a good idea.

So a prom dress. My eldest sister bought a stunning dress from Coast and wore a likkle lace shrug, but it cost her a bomb and just wasn't worth it. So what I suggest you do is similar to the girl in the purple. We have the advantage of loose fabric lol, so get some, you have lots of time and ask to borrow someone's dress for the shape. That way you're controlling the fitting, length, shape, colour and style. I prefer dresses to be high at the neck, I think it's very sexy. In fact I'll send you a pic

I got the dress from London, you'll looove it. Haberdashery shops have quirky little details you can add on too. Won't cost you much either.

Don't wear jeans with your dress, or leggings. It's not glam. If you find a nice enough long dress but it has no sleeves then wear a thin T-shirt the colour of your dress underneath. Sometimes a shrug takes away from the niceness of the dress. Or find a way to wrap your shawl around your shoulders and pin it, that looks real cute.

I'm always e-shopping, especially now that summer's approaching

, so if I see anything, I'll let you know!!!!

tried asos.com?

Oh thanks...Yeah if you could post pictures of your lovely dress that would be great.

But ASOS, I have not looked....thanks for the reminder. but yeah I saw a dress in coast for £110 but if i adjust or get a shrug or shawl with it matching and shoes. it just wont be worth it anymore. I dont want to be spending a ridiculous amount as there is a possibility I may not wear the dress again hence I want something reasonable price.

So I will gather some ideas and pictures and visit good old southall or green street, find a tailor and material and get one made as one of my girls is doing the same too so maybe we can get a good deal.

So have you decided yet?

Yep im going with few of the gurlies to Southall next weekend and find out from few tailor how much it will cost will material, etc. And get one made to what I want as I don't seem to find what I want and how I want.

Lets hope I can get one made at a decent price...Shall post the pics when I do eventually get it made. But need to find some heels now lol....more dilemma ....
