Happy New Year

[redfiona99]

Firstly, happy new year to you all. May 2012 be better than 2011 for all of you.

Secondly, friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your fashion sense. Friends of mine are getting hitched next December, in the UK, which means weather anywhere from the cold end of mild down to brass monkeys. It definitely means rain (probably ;) ). So I'm thinking long sleeved dress. Now unfortunately, the high street, at the moment, appears to believe we're all skinny minis who don't even know what a full sleeve is. I can't see this improving before next year, so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

I mostly get away with wearing my short-sleeved or sleeveless dresses all autumn and winter by putting either fancy cropped cardigans or pashmina-style wraps over them.

It's more the dancing the worries me. But it does sound like a good idea.

I don't know what size you are, but Asos Curve, Evans and Igigi (don't know what their UK outlet is) all have long-sleeved dresses in a range of sizes from about a UK 14 up to a UK 32 or so.

My partner's brother got married this year but, it being Australia, my main concern was being cool enough, not warm enough!

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't thought of Evans's and I'll be sure to check out Curve.
