Try Blanchardstown Got mine in there a month ago. Not sure what stock they will have left at this stage but they did have lovely stuff in there when I was in

List of things guys should take:

A body in which to place your tuxedo onto yourself.

A hair cut.

A shave.

A shower.

A sh*t (beforehand).

A limo.

A date.

A condom.

A money.

A lot of drinks.

A cigar.

A pimp cane.

And finally, a good friend who will watch over you while you vomit constantly all over your date's knees while she cries hysterically. A tissue may also be needed.

Mine's Aug 24th but I cannot find a dress anywhere. Anyone know any nice stores in Dublin (I'm going there next week)? I really can't stand anything with bling on it, I just want a plain one. Ideas?

Pamela Scott has some lovely dresses I got mine there and my cousin got hers there too like 3 years ago . Oasis has a good few nice ones too.

I like the way you added that a tissue may also be needed, just in case the plan for the condom fails.

If I'd need it, it'd probably not be with my date, someone else. =P


Ye, plenty of Kleenex...

I need to buy a special bra for under my dress. :L I don't have any decent strapless ones in a suitable colour It's a hard life.

I could go braless but I'd be so paranoid that my dress would fall down

My dress is backless, and was planning on buying one of those stick on cup things? But the dress maker took it in at the sides so i actually dont need one anymore :O (it has got padding built in:o)
You can allways try that body tape stuff? i hear it falls off after a while.. but shur as long as the pictures are decent :P

well it depends on your budget and that but heres a few shops that i think would be good for a looky
1-House of Fraiser
2-Brown Thomas (my friend got a gorgeous champagne coloured dress here during a sale last year)
3-Coast
4-Monsoon( i got a lovely dress here around this time last year also during a sale)

also try some of the shops in Dundrum shopping centre! no guarantees but hope it helps even a little bit!:D good luck!:P

If anyones looking for reasonably priced dresses then have a look in Debenhams. Got a simple purple one for 75euro on sale a few months back and they've a ton of new dresses in since. All of them are pretty elegant so you wouldn't really find any satin/ diamante encrusted dresses if that's what you're into.
