Im off to my auntie's wedding reception in June and so I thought I'd start look for something to wear...

What im trying to look for is a Red Velvet, long dress - long enough to hit the floor (im 5'6").

The type of style I like is something long, maybe tight to the body to show my outline but it has to have straps (I just cannot live without a bra!) OR an a-line dress.

Velvet would be preferred for the material if they dont have that then maybe Satin?!


Can anyone please help?!?

Maybe check Newport News? They might not have exactly what you were after, but they do have some lovely high-drama stuff at great prices.

It's also one of the few sites where I've found velvet frequently, without paying an arm & a leg for it. Check the winter markdowns, perhaps?

How much are you looking to spend? Do you want a blood red or a more muted red? Does the skirt have to be A-line or can it be a hobble?

I knew blood red would get you every time!

Okay so modern, Victorian, Medieval or........ ?

So you wont be after the full length PVC frock with chains then?

Leave it with me - I have a very very good idea and if you need to borrow ruby jewellery to match then I'm your woman

It's yours to borrow hun

I'll have a good check out of websites at the weekend and let you know what I come up with. I'm thinking cinched in at the waist to show off your figure and then gently draped to the floor

Oh yes I know you so well!

I found this that i think is lovely.
But that is something that I would wear to a wedding if I had the chance hahah.

^^I don't usually like crushed velvet (looks too costum-y), but those sheer, burn-out sleeves are gorgeous!

I guess I'll save the dress hunting for Mrs. D

I found one gorgeous column dress today but then the boss suddenly emerged through one of his numerous trap doors so I had to shut the page down.

I'm going to have to stick a bell around his neck so that I can hear him coming

I like a lot of this company's dresses:

Keep in mind a USD is worth a little less than a GBP (in other words, you can spend more USD for less GBP)

Another site is http://www.simplydresses.com

I love this dress! http://www.simplydresses.com/shop/viewitem-PD402785

But it's a bit our of your price range

You would want something around
143.30 USD for your limit.

This one is 149.00 USD and I think it's lovely

Or here it's 129.00 USD but I am not sure about business ratings. Online sites can be scams. I found the same dress on a site (with a poor rating) for 500

Wow! Nicely done Nsane.

hehe! I have troubles finding dresses for my stage persona just because formal/evening gowns are so expensive! And if you make it floor length, BAM! It's well over $100. *sigh* I just need to learn how to sew my own things!

I'm really bad at finding velvet. You said MAYBE satin right?

This dress is right at 100 GBP

This site has velvet dresses.... I'm not sure how you get them though. Maybe email the person and such. Doesn't list prices. But Just a heads up anyway
