I gave my LSotY shortlist dress another outing - here I am looking almost grown-up as I warm up the crowd ready for the presentations.

Looking good, Jan. Nice dress. First time I've seen you with your hair up, I think. Thank you for posting the pics :D
Thanks for comments re the dress. Sometimes it's just necessary to dress up, I find :)
Catt - hair was just twisted up, nothing special. Long hair gets very hot otherwise.
Sorry you couldn't be there, Lesley - did temperature develop or are you all better now? Hope so.
your dress was lovely Jan. It was a wonderful party.
Jan you looked amazing - the dress should have many more outings! It was a great party.

Thanks for sharing these lovely photos, Jan.
You gals had such a fab night, and you look so glam!
Thanks, Liz. More outings for the dress... You never did have a flat-warming, did you...?
Hi Nas - it was a great night, thanks. Fab food/drink, intelligent company, what more could you want?
What a lovely post, Jan. It's obvious, you all had a wonderful time. It's great to see so many familiar faces and it makes me wish I could have been there too!
You all certainly know how to enjoy yourselves. :)
Wonderful photos, thanks for posting them.
I'm a slight shade of green too and wish I could have been there.
Followed Mike Jarman here. Loved the pictures! You all look very cheerful and lovely.
And, yes, your dress is beautiful. Wonderful color on you.
Thanks, Mike :)
And thank you, Marisa too. It's a lovely colour isn't it?
Debs - you realise you are just going to have to move, don't you?
