OK, I know there are a number of dress afficionados on this site and I need your help! I've decided I want to wear a red dress to my work Christmas do, but haven't seen any I specifically like yet - has anyone seen any they can post links to as a start for my hunt? I'm looking for something knee length or above (nothing too short/tight though as I want to wear heels as well and not feel tarty or overdone), preferably plain red without too much embellishment and I like brighter reds rather than dark. Any suggestions welcome!

I this one. It's so vintagey and lady-like. Would look hot with a little 50s cardy and some black peeptoes.
yesss, thats my favourite so far too, i might have to pop into peacocks and have a look. sometimes things look nice on the peacocks website but a bit cheap in the shop so i will have to inspect it hehe.
I also tried that New Look one on, the shift dress with the folded bit at the top, but it didn't look very nice on - again, looked a bit cheap (although as it's £18 I'm not sure what I expected!)
The search continues...
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 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.
:yes: 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
That's niiice...
Quite expensive..
