How about this Hobbs dress?

I've just spotted this French Connection one <adds to list of things I can't afford>

I like this one in Zara, which is reasonably priced.

Ohh and this one is stunning.

Ohh I love the first MandCo one rosiemus. Though don't think I have a store near me! Will investigate....

Any others?

here you are - at least I think it is this one as I bought it in a shop and not online

Aha I have been doing lots of research on this because I have a function to go to next week and there is no way I am baring the bingo wings. These are some of the ones I was looking at online

www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_54510+201934276?CMP=OTC-GOOGLEPS&tmcampid=28&tmad=c&adtype=pla (lovely but you need to suit the colour - I don't)

and these two from M and co

Bought one in monsoon in the end I will look for the link

I suppose it doesn't have to be a dress.. Though trousers/skirt and a top means more to think about!

Ohh do you have a link for the dress annodomini?

I have a black party skirt (M&S bargain, but very nice) that regularly comes out at this time of year and has outlived numerous tops one of which is due for recycling tonight when the NWR is going out for the annual Christmas meal.

Does it have to be a dress?

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?
