Anyone fancy helping with an M&S dress finding mission. (In Newtownbreda, or anywhere)

This is not for a special event, but yesterday in M&S I tried a dress that made me feel bloody lovely....not to be wet but after years of health problems and being very overweight, not wanting to buy clothes as I had no self esteem, hated seeing myself in the mirror - I’ve lost weight and spur of the moment tried it on and the colour and style were so nice on me, I feel silly saying it, but it actually made me tear up.

Lovely as it was, the size wasn’t right and my perfect fit size was out of stock. Also out of stock on the website (not restocking) and not available in any store within a manageable travelling distance from where we live in Suffolk. None in London where DH works, or any town/city where there is anyone I know.

It is showing in stock in a few places, but M&S stores can’t take payment over the phone, a lovely man from CS was really disappointed not to help me this morning.

It comes in a couple of other colours, but this one is the one that looked so nice.

It’s just a dress, and normally I’d accept it just being a shame and move on, but then I thought of MNers. Big ask I know, as like I said, it’s not a special occasion, but maybe someone amazing might find it and maybe be willing to trust me to pay them (for dress and postage) and send it to me?

It’s Product ID: T427144 Red Mix Floral Print Slip Midi Dress. Size 18 and you can check local store stock by clicking the sold out size and then ‘find in a UK store’.

I just thought I’d see if the powers of MN could help 😊

(I know that Belfast show 2, Glasgow, Brighton, Bolton, Wolverhampton show only 1 but haven’t found any others as yet).

Glad you’ve sorted it. That’s a lovely dress. I have it here on holiday with me in Greece. Funnily enough I did a search and ended up getting it from Bracknell as well. They also have a lovely navy and white version if you like the style. I thought the pink was a bit wishy washy.

Great news, I looked all over the North West and nothing doing.
It must be a lovely dress.
Pleased you'll be having it.
Well done the lady in Whitney.

I've got that dress and know what you mean about it making you feel great. Glad somebody has managed to get it for you 😀

tapdancingmum Nice to hear you know what I mean. 😊 I felt a bit silly starting the thread, but I’ve seen others post similar with a happy result so thought I’d try. I’m very glad I did.
