I've got a Christmas work-do next week and I've left it last minute to find a dress - eek. I'm not a big fan of exposing my arms, can anyone recommend any long sleeved dresses? Also matching shoes?

number That is a lovely dress and a good price. If it fits, wear it and feel good. Don't clutter it up with too many extras - it will look best worn simply. And wear a pinny when you are cooking - don't want to get turkey gravy on it.

Good value - have it, number, it has your name on it.

number There are a lot of dresses in those photos! wink
I will assume you mean the last one which looks lovely.

I see that PPP never bothered to reply!

Yes Nellie, the last one, modelled by a pretty (and slim) young thing, exactly the opposite to me! I`ve taken the plunge and ordered it, but no need for the pinny Elegran, no way will I be cooking in it!

Maybe PPP goes to a different class of party to the rest of us.

Me new dress came today! It`s nice, and it fits, but I don`t look like the model in the ad, never mind, can`t have everything!

Even the model in the ad probably doesn't look like an air-brushed photograph, in reality, number! grin
