Dresses To Drool Over: We Tackle Your Occasion Wear Worries And Debs Dilemmas. And What Did YOU Wear To Your Debs?

Forget the psychology of Prisoners' Dilemma, what about the pain of Shoppers' Dilemma?

You know how it goes - when you have two hours to find the perfect dress for that wedding/party/debs, you will find nothing you like except ridiculous pairs of novelty socks.

But when you're window shopping the day before pay day, the retail heavens will open and there it is on the rail - the dress that you've dreamed of, and the last one in your size.

So we want to help you avoid the trials and tribulations of shopping for occasion wear, and with the debs (and pre-debs) starting its nationwide flurry of spray tanning that will last until late into the year, it is never to early to start casing the shopping joint.

Whether you want classic blacks, colour pops, Grecian columns or a modern cut, we've rounded up the best of the high street.

Does anything in our glitzy gallery catch your eye? And what did you wear to your debs - does it make you cringe in horror or do you still gaze on that gúna with grá? Share with us in the comments!
