Sorry Lads - Girly help required!
 
HELP!

I am off to a "Ladies Night", a formal one, not a bunch of chicks heading to Bingo!

It is being held in a hotel, sit down dinner etc and I have no idea what to wear.

Cocktail / Evening dress has been suggested. Please help me! Can you suggest any good shops or websites.

Budget, MAX £100.

You could try Jane Norman for gorgeous dresses.

Depends on what style you like Very.co.uk also do some nice dresses (http://www.very.co.uk/rf/vry/s.do/wo...age_navigation)

Nothing much on Quiz or New Look... There's always Debenhams but they would possibly blow your £100 budget.
HTH
Sounds like a fun night!

Not sure New Look would have what I am looking for, and would like to have something a little bit unique, so that hopefully I don't turn up in the same thing as someone else!

I was discounting new look and quiz anyway, they aren't really "ladies night out" type of shops! lol

Quedos will probably sort you out with something. :)

Kate....all the business dinners I used to go on used to require formal wear. I always used to opt for the kind of style shown below and I almost always used monsoon because their dresses fir me so well.
For formal wear it's good to be demure and you'll always look classy and refined in these style dresses...but whatever you wear, make sure you're 100% happy with it so that you are enjoying your evening instead of worrying about your dress. You'll look fab whatever you wear!

I too use Asos but have never thought of them as an evening dress type shop. Much research to be done!
