HELP lol, going to a chrimbo ball next week and ive just recieved email saying my dress will not be here in time, can any of you recommend an online site that does quick delivery and the sizes are right, as i dont fancy ordering the size i am and it coming back slightly smaller or bigger. (you know what i mean) It has to be long not midcalf.

yep had a look at bonprix but had a couple of dresses from there before and wasnt overly keen on the quality, and with this being a bit high browed of an affair (military ball) i need to raise the bar slightly ( still wont be wearing any knickers though lol) and unfortunately we dont have any dept stores in barnstaple so it needs to be online x

i hated the yearly ball at our last posting 100 odd quid on a dress you can only wear once as its not the done thing to wear the same dress twice lol

best plan is a wedding shop and ask to hire a brides maids dress for the night

i have about a dozen ball gowns from when i served but as i am going with another guy and not the ex hubby, it just feels wrong to wear them as he payed for them lol, and after all a girl likes an excuse to shop

Off to check out that site now, cheers girlies xx

jane i think thats what i will do maybe tomorrow, just need to sort the kids out as cant be doing with trailing around shops with ankelbiters in tow. And as for looking around our high street, we only have a small one and its all charity shops and banks!! not much choice.

I think that's your best bet to be honest...and I agree about your local town centre, not nearly enough choice in Barnstaple.

Happy shopping!

Try M and S, you might be pleasantly surprised- Per Una and the Limited Collections have some nice stuff.

Not to be confused with S and M, btw

If you're short of time I'd definitely have a look in a bridal wear shop lots of them do evening gowns too. Have a great night

I have loads of Military balls to go to and the RSM's wife gave me a tip when I first started.

Either go to TX Max (buy bigger if you need to and have it altered - most altering places will do it in 24 hours) .... or....... go to the charity shops (especially at this time of year)

I've just picked up two brand new ball gowns for £12.95 and £17.95 in the local Sue Ryder shop.

You can always donate them back after that or sell them on ebay

What about a corset and a long skirt? Long gloves to finish it off.
