i hated the yearly ball at our last posting 100 odd quid on a dress you can only wear once as its not the done thing to wear the same dress twice lol
best plan is a wedding shop and ask to hire a brides maids dress for the night |

jane i think thats what i will do maybe tomorrow, just need to sort the kids out as cant be doing with trailing around shops with ankelbiters in tow. And as for looking around our high street, we only have a small one and its all charity shops and banks!! not much choice. |

I think that's your best bet to be honest...and I agree about your local town centre, not nearly enough choice in Barnstaple.
Happy shopping!

I have loads of Military balls to go to and the RSM's wife gave me a tip when I first started.
Either go to TX Max (buy bigger if you need to and have it altered - most altering places will do it in 24 hours) .... or....... go to the charity shops (especially at this time of year)
I've just picked up two brand new ball gowns for £12.95 and £17.95 in the local Sue Ryder shop.
You can always donate them back after that or sell them on ebay |
