aw im gutted cos the more i look at it on the website the more i want it! but i had a feeling it might be like that, its kinda the same in matalan, sometimes they look gorgeous on the website but a bit cheapy in real life. i cant decide whether this:

is perfect for a christmas party or too much haha, not sure about the sequin bits on the bottom.

I'm going to try the New Look one on tomorrow if they have it (there's 2 red ones - one is web exclusive and the other one you can buy in store)

I tried both an 8 and 10 on yesterday. The 8 seemed ok but I couldn't get the zip up but I could push the 2 sides together so it should fit but it was awkward to pull the zip up from a certain place so I'm going to take my mam with me to fasten it up for me next time I try it on. The 10 was too big and I had the zip problem with that too.

i hate zips! they are always dodgy these days it seems, specially concealed side zips. iv got this amazing topshop dress that iv only worn once and i cant wear it again now cos the zip is broken, its not my fault either! i know i can get the zip replaced but its the principle :] /end of rant

i tried the peacocks red dress on and i actually kinda like it! but i didnt buy it because they didnt have any 12s and the 14 was a bit big. its also a more orangey red than a red red...but i still quite like it. doesnt look too cheap in real life but it has a horrible belt on it that would need to be taken off hehe.

I know what you mean about the zip, it's awkward to reach it isn't it? I don't know, I just felt the fabric wasn't that nice on that dress and although the fit wasn't too bad, it just felt a bit odd on. Maybe it's just me!

I may go into town again on Thursday and continue my search, starting to think it may be futile though

I do quite like that dress, it's cute and quirky, but I wouldn't wear it to a work do I don't think. It'd be nice for a general party season dress though

I couldn't push it up from the bottom or pull it from the top grr. I'll take my mam with me next time I try it on.
