    Hey,
    I have a wedding to go to in April and of course i need something nice to wear...now i was looking at a nice dress in Oasis, but i am terrified that someone will have the same dress...i'd love to get something different, thats not in any of those typical high street clothes shops.
    Any body know any little boutiques in the city or surrounding areas where i could get something. i'm 26 by the way.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    -Femmy.

    Hey, we share a birthday.......weird.

    Did you consider jumping a flight to London? You'd surely find something ahead of the curve there.

    oh yeah, i forgot about sheenas...
    London NOT an option i'm afraid...i have 4 weddings (hopefully no funeral) plus a few evenings too this year... and then i have New York at the end of the year, so i'm on a tight budget as hours at work are fairly slack at the moment too..
    thanks for replies...

    What's that place called across from Zaks? For some reason I have Hevana's in my head... Anyways, it's down Princes Street I think- the side street by Porters. A bit off the wall kinda stuff, but you might get something nice in there.

    Monica John's have some nice stuff but they're verrry up their own arses. Actually, any kind of boutique I find are snobs...

    There's a lovely boutique inside that shopping mall where Q-Park is. If you go in from Oliver Plunkett Street side, go past the USIT office, it's on the right. And surprisingly enough, the girls in there are nice too.

    Good luck!
