Vintage Top Shop Maxi Dress in Charity Shop

If anyone's in to vintage Top Shop there's a navy blue floral maxi dress in Crawley's St Catherine's Hospice shop on sale for £8. It's labelled as a 14 but with a 36" bust.

It's got leg of mutton elbow length sleeves, fairly fitted bodice, long zip at back, flared skirt with flounce at hem. The floral print is small sprigs on lightish navy blue background (not ditsy print 5cmish sized sprigs but not the oversized florals of the moment). I'm 5'8" and it would have been long on me.

It was too good a dress not to alert MNers to.
It looks a bit like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/08_02/CampaignSplitL_800x593.jpg&imgrefurl=www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-477055/Designer-dresses-set-trigger-Topshop-stampede.html&usg=__FzOpNsY9Nm1Q5HFf5P9ojl6vh7g=&h=593&w=800&sz=113&hl=en&start=85&zoom=1&tbnid=coH8LYI3xPzJZM:&tbnh=145&tbnw=186&prev=/images%3Fq%3D1970s%2Bmaxi%2Bdress%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1014%26bih%3D464%26tbs%3Disch:10,2444&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=133&vpy=114&dur=167&hovh=193&hovw=261&tx=191&ty=132&ei=D4HGTPLfD4yTjAeexKhk&oei=v4DGTKapEceDswar7YnTDQ&esq=8&page=8&ndsp=11&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:85&biw=1014&bih=464" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this dress but with the same pattern all over.

It sounds gopping

I agree it does sound gopping (i'm assuming that mean vile/gross?) but it looked really lovely. I'd have bought it but I'm a 14 in only the most ego-flattering of shops.
