What can I replace my Janice dress with

[bambootoo]

My lovely grey Janice dress from Phase 8 is no longer and i cant find anything as flattering. I'm tall and appleshaped 14 with good legs. I loved the material and the drape accross the tum. I've seen the VW anglomania ones but want something a bit cheaper, that I can wear with a jacket or a cardigan to cover wobbly arms.

Looked in Phase 8 but they have nothing similar and nothing on ebay.. I should have bought more when i had the chance. Is there anything similar around at the moment?

sorry - this

When my arms are sufficiently shredded I plan to get this from Great Plains

Also, Me and Em might have a dress that fit the bill - lots of love for the cap sleeved ruched dress on the Avid and Wise thread so might be worth asking the ladies if any of them have tried it?

I ordered, then cancelled thsi (delivery probs) but I LOVE it, just cannot wait that long.

I woudl love an VW Anglomania too but too £££

similar I have found mango surprisingly good quality and fit for the price

LINKED TO WRONG DRESS OOPS

Someone linked to one v similar on Dp website, hang on...

nodders I ahve that Mango in grey stripe forma couple of yers ago. Have owrn and worn but only over stuff as its S H O R T

I like short! Although don't like much atm feel shoddy. I need a casual jacket biker I think but not black and cheap

My knees cant take short

DP dress Any use?

Nice DP dress

Noddy - have a look in Oasis for reasonably priced biker jackets. I'm utterly in love with mine!

VW Anglomania ones often go down to about a hundred pounds in sales and Phase Eight ones are often around 70-80 anyway. The VW quality is much better. I was so disappointed with the quality of the Janice. I'd seriously recommend that you buy something el-cheapo to tide you over and then go for a sale VW.

Re the el-cheapo, if you are tall M&S Autograph sometimes have some clingy drapey dresses that are surprisingly nice - but they are all way too long for me. Not looked lately though.

Thanks off to look

Just looked at M&S and they are all crap except possibly this one but it is a silly length and the model looks as if hers if three sizes too big for her.

I'm a very similar shape to you.

I think that this dress would be v flattering and good colour ghost dress not to ££ Though I do begrudge that for viscose

Some great suggestions thanks, that dp one has got to be worth a try, I like short too

Ordered this
www.my-wardrobe.com/vivienne-westwood-anglomania/black-drape-dress-563516
just for a try... And quite like the look of some stuff in all saints...

I got a dress from great plains. ? The Sofia ? Was blue. Top fit was ofd

DP have got a lot of really very good dresses in right now

Well, thanks to that recommendation I've just ordered 3 dresses from DP! And don't tell anyone, but when I googled for a promotional code I discovered that if you enter any 20 digit number in the student box, you get the 25% student discount as well as free P & P! Just sayin' :)

Love the dipped neck on that VW one.

Think I must be the only person on MN who doesn't like Great Plains. You have never struck me as a GP kind of gal, Pharoah.

I am not over keen. Bought a coat which looked quite cool but is in reality shapeless and frumpy!

Yes, shapeless and frumpy -and poor quality and scratchy. And lots of polyester. They had a dress last year that looked cute on the website (tigers all over it) but irl was really odd and very cheap looking - and polyester.

HEART1012 should get £10 off me&em today.

Agree with great plains - horrid quality and fabrics.

And also agree that you'd be wise to wait for an anglomania sale - actually think its going to be on cocosa shortly.

Just ordered from DP and pretended I'm a student to get that discount! Am all paranoid now I'll get found out......but got two hopefully lovely dresses! Thanks Sparklegeek x
