40s style kimono sleeve dress lust

[chibi]

the observer had this dress today

but m&s say it is out of stock

gahhhhhh

Can anyone find a reasonable approximation, i love it

Love that and its a bargain

this is the problem

it apparently no longer exists

why why why why

o the humanity etc

at any rate i love love love the silhouette, so chic

.

There is a lovely marks kimono dress on ebay that I have had my eye on

dammit

i did check ebay, but saw nothing

can you link it

It isn't that one its black and white bigger print and size 14

link link link

grin

ffs

here

When you go to the M&S site, can you see it at all? Is it definitely sold out?

Often M&S stuff is in the press long before it hits the shops and the website...

bear with me i will find the page

FUCKLES

It is now there

but

it is more or less backless, and i wanted it for work

this would deffo be a case of dress ruined by cardigan

dammit

okaaaaay does anyone know of any dresses with a similar silhouette?

Backless? C'est ridicule.

Here?

Great Miu Miu copy

Wrong sleeves but REALLY nice

Oh, and stuck it out with the orange walls and it looks good!

i love the firetrap one - this is exactly the right shape and fabric but i am a cheap bastard - i need

Here or here?

Love a few of those. The jaeger one is a possibiltiy. Love love love the quilted but I am too busty for that Glad the paint worked out sometimes it takes a while. I painted our living room in brinjal and it took a while too!

really like the first one but am wibbling over whether a size 14 would be big enough - seems like maybe only just iyswim

the other is an 8

exactly how do you do this tethers? when i google i get bupkis

Google is useless.

I think I just remember stuff.

I clearly have an internet shopping problem

Ooh, noddy...

Can't you just wear a vest top under the original dress, chibi?

i just finished reading the reviews and they are mixed to say the least - most saying that you need to be v tall and really slim to work it

at 5'6 and 10st i am neither.

i will see if they have it at my local m+s, i would prefer to try it first rather than face the faff of returning it

do you think a vest would be ok?

maybe i have some kind of body dysmorphia - i don't think i am a stumpy ole biffer, in fact i think i have a nice figure but many desiners would seem to disagree

I think it would work- a high backed black vest underneath.
