Gutted - help me

I could kick myself [sad] I'm going to be godmother at the beginning of next month and then going to a wedding in August, I saw online the dress that would have done both jobs admirably [[http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-Sailing-Stripes/dp/B004QDUA3Y?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_2&nodeId=666984031&sr=1-2&qid=1302453737&pf_rd_r=05X1SDQV9DZ1MNF2PK63&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=666984031&pf_rd_p=215570647&pf_rd_s=related-items-3]] I dithered all last week wanting to wait to see it in the flesh (so to speak) and have been today to our nearest M&S only to have confirmed that I (and dh) love it but it's no longer available anywhere it would seem in my size [sad]. I intensely dislike clothes shopping anyway so this is a double blow. Am now completely gutted and have a feeling that I won't be able to find anything that matches up and I will be miserably clothes shopping for the next few months coming home empty handed and petulant. Help me find something along the same lines that I will love and feel great in. I'm 5ft 7" a size 12-14, with big boobs (32FF) so v necks/wrap overs look best on me (I think). Ideally would like to be able to wear with wedges or flats as not confident I could walk in 'real' heels and certainly don't want to be dropping the baby on my first day as godparent [blush]

You are a fair bit taller than me, but i would still think would only be inch or so above knee? They have free returns if you do fancy giving them a whirl.

It is annoying with halter necks, especially as you don't realise when you are just trying a dress on in the changing rooms!

I saw this dress today in West Quay, Southampton. They had it in a 14L. Have to say it looked like a screwed up limp dishrag, sorry.

If you call Customer services they can check to see which stores have it in stock, and you can arrange either for them to send it to your local branch, or straight to you.
