Good excuse for a new dress?

Was sitting having a coffee before hitting C4 and wondering what to wear to a ball in December and realised why I'd had a feeling something was missing when I moved my dresses to our new villa - my favourite (and IMO makes me look vaguely slimmer ;) ) long black dress wasn't there!

Am presuming I've never picked it up from the dry cleaners - last time I wore it I think was in March! If they rang at all it would have been over the summer and I was away for 3 months so they've possibly gotten rid - will go and check tomorrow now but am really ticked off with myself - it wasn't hugely expensive and I've had it ages but it's one of 'those' dresses that will last forever and never date and I love it.

:(

I found it!! Yippee! I went to both Dry Cleaners that I've used when we lived in Barsha and they let me trawl through their backlog of uncollected stuff. Not there! :( Went for a coffee with friends and was having a moan about it and one asked it maybe it had slipped off the hangar and was in a pool at the bottom of the laundry bag - nope - but that got me thinking. DH gets back from his trip and I mention it to him - oh yes he goes, it's in the bag with my DJ and all my ski gear - all screwed up in a ball! So it was here all the time! Woo hoo Off to the dry cleaners now!

Good luck! Hope you find your dress but if you don't enjoy shopping for a new one :) Btw totally agree with you on the craziness of the downpayment for roaming! Both Etisalat and du ask for 2000 aed...nuts!

I'm going in there tomorrow morning, but as I was away for 3 months from beginning of June, if they did ring my phone was off til beginning of September as I wasn't prepared to pay Etisalat a fortune in a downpayment for access to roaming! Am not holding out any hope - I'm not even sure if the cleaners I'm heading for tomorrow is where I took it!

Give them a ring, I would be so upset, and wonder why they haven't rang you to remind you to collect it. Great excuse to buy and new thou.. Have fun.
