I have a dress in my head...

[JennyWren]

Can anyone please help me find something that is even similar to the dress I am imagining?

I need a little black dress that isn't black... Black always seems to make me look washed out, so I was thinking about a copper/warm brown colour. I want something fairly classic that I can wear for a wedding or social night out but also for a night evening with clients. Maybe boat neck, sleeveless or sleeved, but fitted without being clingy and almost knee length instead of mini.

Does this dress exist anywhere? I have a budget of no more than £100. I have looked everywhere I can think of but I think I have a very narrow imagination :)

I should have said - thank you for looking!!

What about navy? Not sure about brown for a dressy dress

look at shopstyle.co.uk

I know it's black but do you like the shape?

Navy, always go for navy as an alt to black it looks so much better & works brilliantly with gold accessories for the winter season. Good luck :-)

Or get leopardprint

Cybbo, I like the shape but I don't want a belt. And I'd like a boat/slash neck rather than V. But other than that, its great

Tethers - I'm working through the list! Thank you!!!!!

I would go for another colour, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough for leopard print!

Too gold?

I love the shape of this www.johnlewis.com/286220/Product.aspx dress...

Tethers - I could never get away with wearing that! Size 14, 2 children and mid 30s... mind you - I'm not sure that I had the confidence for that at 18!!

And I like this www.johnlewis.com/290501/Product.aspx shape but not the colour...

This is fab, but sadly above the budget...

Over budget again, sorry!

I am rubbish at links but search for Ellie Beaded dress from Coast. Aubergine in colour, sleeves, Christmassy without being in your face. I am 5' 2' and it sits a smidge above my knee, very flattering. It's reduced too! Good luck

Boden Limited Edition Audrey dress in antique gold. Sadly 40% off deal expired yesterday, but they have just started a 30% offer today. Mine arrived yesterday and it is gorgeous. soz for crap link www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Limited-Edition/Dresses/BH013/Womens-Audrey-Dress.html?NavGroupID=177

Phase 8 'Verity' dress now comes in a dark coppery colour I think. They have sale atm, so would come in under budget!
It's a fantastic dress. (sorry can't link, on phone)

Verity dress in cognac colour - but only in a 16 (worth calling to see if they have other sizes)

another Phase 8, like the Verity but a bit less dressy and with sleeves

and another Phase 8, in a blueberry type colour

LK Bennett, possibly too boring

Jersey dress with interesting snakeskin-type print

lovely tea dress in dark purple by Hobbs (ok its £110)

another hobbs option, sleeveless

Jaeger is always great for classic well cut dresses, how about this one (should be half-price soon):
