    Dress suggestions please :)
    Hi everyone,

    so soon I'll be attending my uni's sports awards and also a dinner, i'm just a guest, but I love to dress up. I was thinking a nice semi formal dress with some heels. I'm going to be wearing pale pink/coralish heels, but I just can't decide on a dress! Any suggestions? I was thinking of an LBD, maybe something like these : http://www.boohoo.com/restofworld/dr.../invt/azz65313 or http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp...ents=category~[433403|208648]&noOfRefinements=1

    I'm just really not sure, any links of any appropriate dresses would be appreciated . I dont think I wanna spend more than £30.

    Thanks

    Out of those two, I prefer the second one, but they're both nice. I just had a quick browse on ASOS

    I like the second one a lot more. Lace dresses are ten to the dozen these days, so the second one will be more unusual.

    I like the last 2 ASOS dresses.

    The first 2 are both 100% cotton, which to me makes the dresses more casual and perhaps suited to the daytime more than a formal dinner.

    Yes I agree about the cotton thing, theyre lovely dresses but it might appear a bit too casual. The last dress in the ASOS links that whatsername2009 posted is my fave, I think I might buy it to try it on at the very least.
