I'm borrowing Vampira's thread b/c I'm looking for something too.

I'm trying to find a dress:
Cotton twill or something similar, button-down or snaps, short sleeve, black. Basically a button-down, short sleeve mini-length shirtdress in a somewhat military style. I found one a few years back at Target and foolishly only got it in grey. It's even got pockets and a tie belt; really cute with tall boots. Also, I'd prefer not to pay a lot for the new one.

I've tried hunting around online, but I keep finding irrelevant stuff.

Thanks!

I hope this helps RedAngel.

Succubus: Yep, along those lines. Smile

The cap sleeve might not work on me, but I'll think about it. Thanks!

Emmature: Hmm, I should double-check Vicky's. Thanks!

So..... The search still continues (if you dont want to add links thats fine).

Need to buy a dress now so it will reach me in time on 5th July.

Dresses I am looking for: Calf/Knee length - Colours: Red/Purple/Blue/Green - style I would like: A strapy dress with a sweetheart neckline or something that is not covering the chest area.

I've looked countless times on eBay and there is just nothing at the moment, but I do look on there daily. I have also searched around the high street shops and alas nothing. Not getting desperate yet, but I will be soon.

The seller says its red( I can only assume that its a blood red from the pics) and I read your first post and you said you would not mind velvet and its cut on the bias so that is quality right there. Smile

You know I'd forgotten about this thread and I couldn't remember if you found anything or not.

I saw this and was reminded of you... What little good it does now! tongue
