Can anyone find a dress like this?

I love it. It has sleeves. I like the print. And yet! The bastard's sold out. I need a size 16... can anyone find anything similar? It MUST have sleeves. Thanks [smile]

I'm a bottom heavy size 14 OP and I don't think that RIver Island one would flatter...the frill on the bottom....no! I am allways llooking for a maxi which would flatter my pear shape....I think a plainer cut is better...agree on the 3 quarter sleeves....I am looking too!

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 20/04/2011 09:53

Ditsy print but with cap sleeves. It's M&S though... here

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 20/04/2011 09:54

ASOS

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets · 20/04/2011 09:55

this from Asos is nice But it's not ditsy....not masive print though. I like it!

Tillyscoutsmum · 20/04/2011 09:57

Try the 14. Seriously, I have just bought a maxi from Next (I know I know) and the 12 fit perfectly. I am normally a large 14 (16 in some shops)

ditsy but no sleeves

Tillyscoutsmum · 20/04/2011 09:59

similar shape but not ditsy

SkinittingFluffyBunnyBonnets · 20/04/2011 10:00

That one is lovely Tilly

Tillyscoutsmum · 20/04/2011 10:03

absolutely nothing like the next one but quite 70's

FebreezeYourJeans · 20/04/2011 10:06

this one from Very?

How did the search for a green dress go?

You have to admire the tenacity

Coconuts, not keen on M&S one; the asos one is only available in a 14 and has been linked to upthread- I don't think it will work if too tight...

Skinitting, I really don't want jersey, but thanks for looking.

Tilly, I absolutely have to have half sleeves I'm afraid- and that fashion union one was linked to upthread and is a little too shapeless... not too keen on the print either... the boohoo one similar shape and I don't like the print. I want the next dress! It's sold out in every size

God I'm fussy.

Sorry.

I really appreciate this

Febreeze, the very one is okay... but sold out in a 16.

And I am still looking for the perfect green dress

POO thought I'd cracked it at very, note to self...check sizes before linking.

Tethers, if you still like the Next dress its back in stock but at the sale price of £20. I've just ordered it, albeit with an up to 4 week wait!

chickchickchicken · 23/04/2011 17:37
