ebay *snigger*
 
I don't know, it's not really a shop, and your remit wasn't very specific - it's not scary but there is fuck lot of stuff on there to wade through. You need to know what you're looking for really.

What I find pretty you might not. for e.g. :)

yeah i know, i'm just really crap at knowing the sort of clothes that look nice on me. no sense of style! will probably have to drag my sister out to the shops with me - she's much better at finding clothes that suit me than I am!
thanks for the tip :)
 
Try the Friday frock thread and ask spangles ;)

fwiw, the pics I've seen of you you look good - and are wearing things that suit you :)

oh I like that - do let me know when you get it what you think... also sizing small or large side? I wouldn't mind having yet another pretty dress that sits in my wardrobe that I never actually wear... (along with all those high heels).

Size wise, pretty spot on - not tight fitting, I can get it on without undoing the zip, but you can pull it in the with sash if you need to. I am very short waisted, so it's good that the waist sits highish. The only thing I'm going to alter is the length - it's calf length on me (short arse 5'4' and I want it just below the knee for petticoat-showing purposes.
 
I came back just to check... I might get one.. I wore a dress today and enjoyed it... never wear dresses! I want calf length though.. and also prefer things that tie under the boobs than round my non-existent waist.. gonna take another look... thanks!
 
A very extravagant late birthday present to myself (expensive for me but I've been looking for a dress for AGES, so the birthday thing was a good excuse just to say wtf.... :D )......

Gap! They do them in white too and I nearly bought one of those but then saw this colour....and my bezzer said it was slightly less like a *small childs* dress in the bluey/grey :mad: :D

Really odd sizing though - I had to return a 12 today for a 10 cos it was all weird and gapey under the arms....and there is NO WAY I'm a 10 (I tried a 14 to begin with)! :D
 
I got my Dorothy Perkins order but there are a few worrying fit issues. Might post pictures this weekend. Can I can how come when I buy a vest top with wide straps or a sleeveless dress I always get gapage around the front armpit area? Is it because I'm short?

You know GAP is US sizing right? So a 12 is a 16. :)
 
Dear gentle readers, please excuse me while I post pictures of my chest and armpits.

First two pictures are of my DP dress, third one is of the dress that also featured in Poutfight 2011
