Calling all you stylish Hitchers

I don't really go to christenings that often but the last one I went to, I wore a pair of grey trousers, a V-neck print/bead/bright top (of the Monsoon variety) and a long pale pink coat. It was absolutely years ago though.

I always think christenings are fairly informal. Any floaty chiffon type top/blouse and trousers/skirt will be, in my cabbage, fine.

Actually, the last "christening" I went to was a naming ceremony. As a proud guidemother, I wore a pair of old turned up jeans, a bright red, one shoulder jersey top and a pair of red Birkenstocks. Ha ha, I don't think the grandparents were overly impressed. It was a hog roast in the middle of summer though, what did they expect?

Oasis have some gorgeous dresses in , haven't got time to look at the moment but I think you would look lovely in some sort of shift dress, capped sleves, you need to think comfy as with the shoes, as you'll be stood up for quite a while.

D'oh, OK, maybe as Mum you want to be a little more impressively dressed! A printed shift, little cardi?

I went to one the other day and wore a floaty nude skirt (a bit shorter than knee length) nude tights, a black top with a black cardigan over it and black heels.

I bought a dress in Primark yesterday which doesnt look at all primarky and would be great for a christening.

Its this one - it would look lovely with a nice pastel coloured jacket and heels in nude or also a pastel-y colour

Its just on the knee length on me and has a little bow and cut out detail on the back

Lovely dress Rod, but how is that knee length on you? I know it would scarcely cover my bum?

I'd pick out one of the stronger colours for accessories - teal or fuchsia pink perhaps, rather than go pastel.

I'd second Primark, they've got some lovely stuff at the moment. I saw a dress similar to the one Rod's posted but in a greeny colour. It was a thick structured sort of fabric, so would look good on too.

Rod I love that dress, think I'll be making a trip to Primark sharpish!

That's a lovely top Rodders ?

It is lovely though, I might brave the hell that is Primark on the weekend to see if it comes anywhere near my knee.

The top 5 are Asda and the rest Tesco.

It does look really short but i promise its not!

Yea its the same fabric as the greeny one. I nearly bought both haha!

Love that black and white Tesco one Sal.

LOVE these two!

Matalan have this dress in a variety of colours and patterns. I bought one last year and usually wear it with a wider tan belt and tan wedges. It's comfortable and very flattering.

AC and Kharv - I think all 3 were under £25 - bl00dy bargainous! Gotta love a bit of George and Florence & Fred!

I need this in my life, how tall are you Rod? This definitely wouldn't cover my a$$

I feel a shopping trip coming on!!

Via our new slush hang out of course.

My fave! Where is it from??

Ooo yes OB, been craving those slushes ever since. Went swimming yesterday and they had a slush machine in the cafe but it was a healthy mango juice one, I passed due to the lack of E numbers.

Why oh why don't primark have online shopping... I hate going in there!!

Kirstabubble I'm 5ft4....it looks much shorter there because its on my chair at work! Haha

I think you need to try it in and show us rod

Haha maybe over the weekend?!

Ah this explains it.

I am 5'8" so is definitely a bum-brusher on me!

5'8" here too so will have to refrain as I'm scared I may flash my fluff!

A bum brusher ?
