My 21st is coming up in November and I want to start looking for a dress. Im about a size 12 with auburn hair.Im looking for something, preferably in green, thats within my budget which can go to 100-150!
Any suggestions?I really dont want to order online and am based in Dublin;)

Hey,

I had my 21st in September and went through absolute hell trying to get a dress unless you have alot more time don't order online!!

I tried everywhere for dresses and it drove me insane. the day before my dress i got it!! Got a lovely one in Warehouse!!

My advice is, it'll sound horrible but try not to hav your mind too set on a colour or stylr because you're not likely to find the perfect dress that way.

I wanted this blue, flowy,silky dress and ended up with a pink, silky halterneck which i never would have looked at twice but it ended up being my perfect dress!!

I would agree with Pamela Scott and Warehouse (definitely)

I did see a green coloured dress in the window of Karen Millen but its not my shop.

This is the list of shops my friends gave me when i was shopping

Roccoco
Costume
Karen Millen
Pamela Scott
Oasis
Places in Powerscourt Townhouse Centre
Ted Baker
Coast
Richard Alan
oh god i can't even remember them all now..went to so many. if you know the dalkey/killiney/glasthule area try the boutiques!

best of luck and hope you have a MUCH easier time than i had!!

I bought this dress for my grad ball, It is a bit different than your average dress in Monsoon, Coast etc. Tthe colour is a lot stronger that it looks on the net and with your auburn hair it would be lovely. It's expensive for a 21st though, I got it cheaper cos my friend works there, its €205.

I looked in all the above shops for my 21st last year and ended up driving all my friends crazy!
I ended up getting my dress in Debenhams in Jervis Street.
I find they have a good selection in the debut range not too expensive mine was €125.

Got my 21st dress in June in the sales. (My birthday isn't till the end of November) But sometimes not looking is the best wya to find something. I happened upon a great dress on a sale rack. 33% of the orginal price and left in my size. I know that any day that I go to shop for a dress/shoes/bag/jeans, I get frustrated if I dont manage to uy the item that day. You have loads of time, so take it easy and don't settle on any dress just to have bought something.
