    I think Monsoon is fantastic for dresses. They can be a wee bit pricey but they probably have a sale on at the mo.

    Keep a look out in the back of the Friday/Saturday Irish Times for advertisements of sample sales. You never know what you'll find! I got my debs dress at one and with a few alterations it was just perfect!

    I don't generally buy 2nd hand clothes but do for evening dresses. I find it a good way to buy a well made dress at a fraction of the price. I have had to get dresses altered but would have to do this if buying a new dress with an array of sizes anyway, so it works for me
