Please help me, I've looked everywhere.....

[Inthepotty]

..... For a proper, tradtional pretty girls dress for my DD, 2.5yo. Over Easter weekend we are celebrating my Grampies 80th birthday, and want to get her a dress with either long sleeves or matching cardie to wear. DS' are sorted but can't find anything I love for DD. Have tried Tulip and Nettle, Sarah Lousie and Mayoral. Any help very much appreciated!

Presume you've looked in Monsoon?

jojo maman bebe?

monsoon

laura ashley

John Lewis very traditional

Either if the first 2 would go with a woollen shrug I think

I love gorgeous?

John Lewis?

Mothercare (whose doors I never usually darken) are actually not bad for that sort of thing.

Monsoon
Monsoon no cardi
John Lewis
Laura Ashley

Monsoon and Laura Ashley have lots of little shrugs in too.

I love the John Lewis/Keighley one, can't tell if the sleeves are long tho?? Need to cover wrists, really. Keep em coming, am going to nose on I love.. Website.

Sorry x-posts with Billy. great minds!

Like the monsoon blue one, think may need a 3-4 in there though as I find monsoon sizes petite

too Christmassy?

Try trotters.co.uk
They have shops on kings road and high street ken in London. Do lovely traditional dresses with smoking etc

Poppy

trixy my mum bought that for DD recently!

leopardprint it all looks beautiful, have you bought from them? What's quality/sizing like?

Thanks everyone so much for all the links!

NO you need Tulip And Nettle

It is GORGEOUS. Another Mumsnetter put me onto it and I love it.

Those poppy dresses are beautiful!

[LaTrucha sighs for the days when DD would let me put her in whatever I wanted]

this would be gorgeous with a little white cotton bolero over the top, almost Eastery

same with this one too

Try Chateaux de Sables

Vertbaudet
and again
and again, but not very party-ish

Quality is always brilliant. Lovely materials and usually beautifully lined. I would say they are quite true to size. They often have hair accessories which match the dresses too. Lots of the little European girls wear these dresses in Chelsea

Did you try Zara

See, I thought the blue sundress from trotters was the winner but I'm loving the 'poppy' links. Thanks S&B ladies, I might pop back over here more often, you're fab with the links!
