    Hi all,
    I'm off to Australia next saturday for my cousins wedding and i had though I had a dress for it but i tried it on today and it doesn't fit me anymore! (in the good way, i've lost a load of weight!)
    So essentially I'm working nonstop til I leave and i need to get a dress! I went to dundrum today (open til 9 so i can get in after work) and couldn't find anything!!! grrr
    I'm a size 10 with tiny waist and big hips (they make me a size 12 in jeans)
    and just want something that I can throw in my suitcase (ideally below 100euro)
    Any suggestions? I might be able to get into town at one stage I hope...

    Do you have anything that might do in your closet? If dont fit slightly, maybe wearing a belt or nip it in with safety pin discretly.
    Or get it altered at dressmaker.
    Also do you have any nice summer dresses maybe that can work with fancy assessories to dress it up?

    It's actually my first sun holiday in 3 years so i'm a little limited on whats in my wardrope already! There's not a whole lot i can do with the dress i'd hoped to wear, i even tried pinning it to take it in but it just doesn't look as well as before.
    I've a black dress i can wear worst case which is light enough for Oz, but will i roast in black? it's the high of their summer!
    Gonna head out to Dundrum again super early tomorrow and see if i can find anything with one of my friends, she's got a great eye and is much more adventurous than me so i'm hopeful!

    Thank you for the help though my little pony!

    Have the dress altered. Pinning it your self it not the same at all.

    Could you borrow a dress from a friend/sister?

    Also keep an eye out for skirt and top. It doesn't have to be a dress.

    I've not been shopping for ages so can't suggest shops to go to but the summer stock is probably in most places now.
