Hello all. It's DD's naming ceremony in 2 weeks, and thought I had my outfit sorted. I ordered this dress

www.very.co.uk/south-bird-print-tunic-dress/972969858.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1655%2c4294958773%2fs%2fbestsellers%2c0%2fr%2f100&trail=1589-1655-4294958773

from Very - but it's too big and they've sold out of the size below. At the risk of sounding melodramatic I'm gutted! It's exactly what I wanted - namely peter pan collar and sleeves.

I've been searching online all morning and can't find anything similar. Nothing has sleeves!

Should I give up on that style all together and find something totally different? Time is running out. All offers much appreciated...

Practically identical?

I know BunnyLebowski ! I've been looking at it, but I'm just not sure if I like it as much... Which I know sounds daft as it is almost identical. Maybe I should order it and see? Thanks

I know what you mean. I think it's the print. The smaller one on your original dress is nicer.

Here's a few more anyway.

Red DP's

Jade is lovely

Love this

Too black?

Peter pan collar and sleeves. I would either get the dress taken in or give up (presuming you need the size 8 and it is not available).

Dorothy Perkins have a Peter pan collar but it is sleeveless, you could wear a smart cardigan with it.

Oasis have some lovely dresses if you are starting again.

Or how about something like this or this with a separate collar

Clure · 14/02/2012 13:53

not peter pan but...
cute fabric but shorter sleeves and this similar
cat print
black
love this

Again, could attach collar

tethersend · 14/02/2012 14:05

Ditto

lovelychops · 14/02/2012 20:36

Thanks so much for your suggestions, very kind of you all.

To be honest I'm going to see if I can get it taken in (is that madness?) to make it smaller. And, if not an option start from scratch again. Probably starting with Oasis.
