Best shops for long formal dresses...

    Hi,

    I need to get a long dress for a black-tie event.
    Can anyone recommend any good shops, in or around Dublin, and also up North.
    If the savings are worth it, I'll travel up to Belfast, Lisburn etc. to buy one.
    Can anyone recommend any shops?

    I have tried to usual "wedding" dress shops, like Coast and Debenhams, but couldn't find anything.

    I am looking for one that is quite structured, i.e. it will hold in any flabby bits a wee bit.
    Also, I am just under 6ft, and love my high shoes, so it would have to be quite long!

    Any shop suggestions?

    Thanks in advance :)

    have you tried monsoon? or house of frasier in dundrum has a section of evening dresses but theyre a bit hit & miss, have never seen anything stunning in there. another possibility if youre in dundrum might be fran&jane? they have a shop in blackrock roo. have sometimes seen some lovely things in the window, but also some incredibly tacky looking things, might be worth a look though.

    There's a gorgeous dress shop in Drumcondra, cant think of the name for the life of me but its on North Circular Road junction.

    Very helpful and such a variety of dresses, you're bound to find something you like! Prices are fairly decent too. I bought a dress there in November and they did all my alterations for free.

    Thanks for all the suggestions!

    Is the Dorset St. one called Wicked Frills?

    I've searched the internet, looking for "dress shop Dorset St" etc, and that's the only result that looks promising! :)
    I can't find an actual official website for them though which is a shame.
    I'll definitely check it out this week though :)

    Thanks!
