This is a link to the red tunic dress I bought from eBay because it looks fairly festive. It’s a dress length on me so I’ll probably wear it with black tights.

Nicely festive Sophiesox
Ankle boots or shoes, that is the question.
I'd go for boots. grin

Thanks GabriellaG. It’ll be boots, or boot to be precise. I’m having a foot op on the 10th, so the left foot will be wearing a surgical sandal! But may put some tinsel on it.

I bought a mid thigh length emerald velvet dress from Primark . I think it looks OK but my son told me I was too old to wear it without tights. I'm actually going to wear it as a tunic with leggings and ankle boots

Have you got a pic of your dress, goose1964 ? Sounds like my sort of thing, but It’s pouring down here, so a trip to Primark is not on the cards!

Velvet? Primark? Where are my car keys...
Thanks goose1964 gringrin

Reported. Good try but I couldn’t see me serving the turkey in it.

I saw some White Stuff at an outlet today but the price wasn't reduced! (no, I didn't buy anything.)

I dropped some stuff off at the Age UK shop and had a quick nose round. Found a sheer blàck, shirt style blouse covered in silver embroidery. Worn as a jacket with black vest and trousers that's Christmas sorted - and it was a whole £4!

I rarely post unless I have something I feel is worth saying, and after reading this I'd like to say to you Galen that your dress is not only beautiful but it's a perfect shade ofor your colouring, and you look like a film star, and I'm being serious. Thank you for posting , it's brightened my day to see someone looking so beautiful and classy

This is my latest. I’m not wearing it. It’s the catalogue picture
