I think the first one is lovely!really suits your body shape and looks really well on!:), the second one cause its darker looks a little tacky with the jewels standing out more, not awful or anything, just not as nice as the first!

I agree, the pink is really lovely on. But side note for everyone, the second one is actually navy (used to work in TS), so isn't truly that dark in person. But I still love the pink one more

Thanks everyone, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

I think the pink one is nicer too Purple_Bobbin. It may be just because I'm bored of seeing black dresses the whole time though!

lainey316 · 08-01-2011 02:35PM

Is the bling as obvious in reality purple_bobbin? It looks like there's a lot of flash reflect in the photos. I like both, but if you're only keeping one then the pink is nicer (though I do love a navy dress, or navy anything really)

Yes, it is, just as obvious, on both dresses.

Yep I'm going to be there. It's not a regular show, rather it's one put together in aid of CanTeen, the teenagers cancer charity hence there are going to be loads of non-burlesque regulars in the audience. Anything from jeans to vintage flapper dresses to M&S black suits with bootlace ties to prom dresses to latex skirts to... ...yadda yadda. Anything goes.

Though corsets are popular they are not essential. Just think smart or cocktail or prom and you'll be a belle.

Come over and say Hello if you see me there. I'll be the drunk fat oul bloke.

Pandoras Twist · 08-01-2011 08:49PM

I was going to be heading for my mothers birthday celebrations, but this evil chest infection is refusing to let me get out of bed.

Enjoy it though! I would love to go to one. Someday!

Can anyone give me their opinions on this dress on me please? I've been told given opinions by members of my family, none of which were honest with me. I like the dresses, but don't know if they suit me, I'd appreciate some honest opinions. And by honest, I mean, don't hold back.:o

Thanks.

I'm not a fan dresses which have a zip which stands out. I think it kind of ruins the look a little.
Also, I think the navy one looks like it's clinging a little too tightly around the middle.

The pink looks lovely with your pale skin-tone though. I just wish the zip wasn't so obvious :P It's still nice though.

90% sure the 2 blonde twins on the itv version of take me out were wearing this dress on tonights episode, if you want to see what it looks like on someone else!

(lol i always get my friends/family to try on clothes i'm iffy about!)

QuiteInterestin · 08-01-2011 11:30PM

Agree with the rest, if you're only keeping one, keep the pink one, think its the nicer of the two. Also from a practical point of view, you might get more wears out of a pink dress coming up to the summer then a dark sparkly dress (feels a bit winter-ish/Christmas party-ish)

Kinda agree, though I did a dressmaking course and the amount of work that goes into putting in (and covering) a zip makes me see why its easier to leave it exposed.

They could've got a pink zip at least though. The black just doesn't go.

The Lovely Muffin · 09-01-2011 12:22AM

Thanks for the replies and opinions everyone, I think I'll return both of them and wait until I see a nicer dress and then just use the money to buy that dress.

Anyone any amazing tricks to get rid of dry skin? Winter and my face are not friends

Have you tried Nivea moisturiuser? I find it a life saver at this time of year.

E.T. · 09-01-2011 10:59PM

Clarins hydra-quench serum is brilliant, I use it all winter before putting on moisturiser. I've tried a heavier moisturiser but I always end up with spots from them.

Twee. · 10-01-2011 06:27PM

My MAC Mineralize powder is all gone, waaaah. Won't be able to afford a new one for ages so I just got a Rimmel the other day. It's not even half as good

Lame-o.

Michellenman · 10-01-2011 06:46PM

I'm the exact same

Going back to France though on Sunday so I'll pick some up in Duty free

Twee. · 10-01-2011 07:02PM

Ooh clever, I'll keep an eye out for any pals going away

Michellenman · 10-01-2011 07:26PM

Actually, does anyone know if MAC sell brushes in their Airport store?

lainey316 · 10-01-2011 07:35PM

I find the Skinfinish Natural doesn't last very long actually, I definitely bombed through the first one (I was in SE Asia though so most days it was the only makeup I wore, actually had pretty great coverage alone when buffed in with a kabuki)

MAC in the airport do have brushes, but maybe not the full range? A couple of times in Gatwick I couldn't get specific ones and had to get them from a store in the UK when my friend was coming over (not paying BT prices for brushes)

I was just going to say the exact opposite! Mine has lasted over six months and there's probably about 3 weeks left in it if I scrape the bottom, I just want to pick a new one up while in the airport as a back up.

I'm the same, I'd wear at least SFN everyday, and it works wonderfully by itself.. when my skin is clear enough :rolleyes:

Cheers! I'm just looking for the duo fiber foundation 'skunk' brush thing! I think it might be a 187?

Madame Razz · 10-01-2011 08:08PM

@Michelleman, they deffo do that brush in the airport:)

Twee. · 10-01-2011 08:52PM

I got the 187 for Christmas, it's brilliant. Loving it so far, but I did have to watch a few videos, didn't know what to do with the thing!

I've had the powder since October and it's only gone now because I dropped it and it smashed! I lost a good bit, but there was still a bit left to keep me going, but now gone

jokettle · 11-01-2011 08:14PM

I realise I'm about 30 years behind everybody else, but I've only just bought my first pair of leggings and my GOD they're comfortable! It's like I was wearing PJs in work today

Now I'm wondering what other wardrobe staples there are out there which I have yet to discover

I remember when leggings first came out, I was like, "NO WAY!" but yup, they're amazing. I'd live in them! Best things ever, 'cause I find it really hard to find jeans that fit well.

My only (small) issue is, I wore them with ankle boots today but the leggings don't have feet so I had to wear little ankle socks too...seemed a bit weird! Maybe I'm too used to wearing tights? Still comfy as anything though

I have that exact same issue! I was wearing ankle boots and leggings yesterday too, and I couldn't find any little socks anywhere so I had to do some sort of sock tucky-in thing and it just felt strange. If leggings had feet, I'd be a very happy lady!

Michellenman · 11-01-2011 08:40PM

You can get leggings with stirrup ends of them can you not? I thought I'd seen them in penneys before!

spinandscribble · 11-01-2011 08:51PM
