My bridesmaids dresses were coast, I bought them a year before the wedding and added a few things to them. Cue the day of the wedding my cousins GF turned up in the same dress only shorter and with the same additions I had added a year earlier. The poor girl was mortified, and I never set foot in a coast since. I'm loving that Bobbi dress and may have to investigate further as I've a wedding in a few weeks time.

She really stood out in a black backless prom dress and swoon for high heels. Anyway, her sister in law was marrying my 1st cousin so we had nice chat when she said she worked for Coast. I, stupid that I am, assumed she worked on the floor level and I did go into a bit of a rant about how the dresses were a little too formulaic and weddingy. Oh the shame, she'd only just taken over as managing director! Anyway, she winked at me and said "watch this space, things will be changing" and my, it looks like they have. Absolutely love that Harlem lace dress and the feather top - agree would look amazing with jeans. jmangelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-17985905588276223922013-10-30T01:49:08.428-07:002013-10-30T01:49:08.428-07:00Absolutely agree with you, they must have a new de...Absolutely agree with you, they must have a new designing team on board (or headhunted Whistles' team!) as I walked past it in House of Fraser the other day and actually stopped and looked..first time ever!

My husband describes some of my A line dresses as my bridesmaid gone wrong outfits. But I've always liked their pencil skirts, amazing duchesse satin and they fit like a dream without wrinkling (and sizing is generous so you can always drop down at least on size!). I'm totally with you on the jewellery, the prices are probably where they should be Stella and Dot takes the mick a little!Alexandra Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997258690652103266noreply@blogger.com
