    Which dress?
    Hi, it's my best friend's 17th birthday in two weeks, and I need a new dress for her party.

    I'm asian, I'm 5ft 5 and a size 6/8.

    Which dress do you prefer?

    If you don't like any, any recommendations??

    Thanks :thumbsup:

    My favourite is the third one, but if you're undecided, you could have a look at Boohoo.com - I love their dresses!

    I like the first and third.

    Look at AX Paris as well. They have super nice dresses for not a lot of money

    I like the design of the third one, but the colour of the first - try and look for something with a pop of colour

    I'm more of a cream, pink, red type of girl when it comes to dresses :blush:

    I think it's because of my skin tone, blue looks odd on me. Maybe its just me :L

    But thank you

    Be careful with BooHoo though, they don't actually have a customer service department and charge 'restocking fees' for refunds and exchanges. I know so many people that have had nightmares with them!

    shelikes.com have some quite nice things in for a decent price, and I always find Topshop concessions and New Look Concessions in the bigger stores have very nice things, usually for reasonable prices

    Kinda like this too. The model in this is 5'10 though, so on me it won't be anywhere near as short :L

    Oh okay

    Thanks for the advice. I'm not wanting to buy online. I want to get it ordered to a store near me...

    Go on ASOS please.

    For that price those dresses aren't good enough.

    I used to work at Lipsy and I can assure you that you can get better design, better quality for much cheaper.

    The dresses cost like 90p to make and they sell them for £70.

    The second one is probably best for you but you're paying a lot of money there for something that isn't really that special tbh, I think you'd be better looking at some others, for that price you could get some absolutely amazing ones, or you can get some in that kind of style for much less! Ark have some lovely dresses and some of them are definately the kind of style you were looking at http://www.arkclothing.com/Ark_Female/Dresses.html
    You might like some of the goddiva ones too http://www.goddiva.co.uk/Home/party-dresses
    Hope thats helped!
