1 - Very sequinned, or lots of fringe, very short, such as Liza Minelli might reject for her stage show as being a bit too spangly.
2 - Maxi maxi maxi dress with huge tropical flowers all over it, such as Talitha Getty might have worn to a beach party in Ibiza in the 70s.
I nearly bought this one from my secret clothes shop on Oxford Street which is usually frequented by teenage sk8ter bois - - right sort of shape, groovy graphic print - but then I realised exactly what the groovy graphic print was just at the last minute. Can you see what it is yet, dear reader?

Wow, you look amazing! The print looks like...erm...I can't tell. Is it something rude?
Ah, bless you, P. And thank you, I'm so glad it wasn't just me who didn't see it. It's not rude... I'll see if anyone else can see it first...
There's definitely a chihuahua and a unicorn-rabbit hybrid on there.
Wow - you have to buy it - it looks fab on you and you look fab in it! I can't see the pattern exactly - is an aerial view of something or a whale in the sea or an animal doing a headstand? Give up.
I don't know what the pattern is either. Are you sure you can't buy it? You look lovely in it!
A prize goes to Emordino! You have superior vision. Though I still can't see the unicorn-rabbit hybrid.
Thank you ladies. It is a pattern of dogs. Possibly chihuahuas. I cannot wear a dress with dogs all over it to a wedding - can I?
They'll think I'm taking the piss out of the holy state of matrimony. Both weddings are my work colleagues. They'll think I'm mad. (Just ignore the mad dog dress lady. We like to humour her...) And how will I accessorize it? With a bone in my hair like Pebbles out of the Flintstones?
Why not? It looks great - and isn't obviously weird hybrid dogs. As long as you like it and it looks good on you then what's wrong with that? Unless....it is a very formal wedding and that is what is worrying you?
Yeah, what RoMo said. You look good in it and if you like it then you can wear the dress again...ladies' day at Ascot, perhaps?
I thought the pattern was of a duck - it looks like it has rear webbed feet.
I thought it might be that naughty fabric they used to sell at Coco de Mer. Had I had the money, I would have covered my hypothetical chaise longue with those bolster pillows. Ah!
Why not the doggy print? Dress looks fabulous and shopping for wedding outfits is a nightmare (last time I tried the only colour available seemed to be bottle green). I know someone who went to a wedding in a dalmation-spot suit. You are doing so much better than that already.
The dress is not really my thing, but you have lovely hair. Can I borrow it for a wedding I' m going to?
Rockmother - it's the wedding guests' duty to fade into the background, they might think I'm making a shameless bid for attention with my chihuahuas. Like Princess Beatrice with butterflies on her head.
Thanks, Istvanski. Ducks would have been even more special.
What naughty fabric, B? It sounds great. It is a nightmare you know - I always seem to lose the plot and end up in something inappropriate or that I don't really like. English people are bad at dressing up for weddings. In my Spanish friend's wedding photos everyone looked supremely elegant, like 1940s film stars.
Beastie, the chihuahuas are not doing it for you? Ah, thank you. You are welcome to it, it's the bane of my life.
I don't think guests have to fade into the background at a wedding. Isn't there just the one rule - you can't wear white?
Anyway, you have thin, elegant arms, so I am probably going to have to kill you.
*goes away to do a hundred press ups*
It's an optical illusion Betty. Only the other day one of the kids was jiggling the skin on my upper arm around.
'You're like my granny' he said.
I'm coming in a bit late on this one but god I hope you bought that dress. Dogs or no dogs you look amazing... that hair! That figure! You're gorgeous.
i think it's pretty. and the wee dogs aren't nearly as weird or gross as that think lily allen was wearing with the picutres of decapitated deer spraying blood all over, so i say go for it!
Awww, thank you Annie. I think that's my favourite ever comment in 3 years of blogging.
Thank you, Chaucer's Itch. I'm feeling sympathy for you - the friends who are getting married are stressing out, most of the pressure seems to end up on the bride for some reason,everyone seems to expect her to sort them out.
