Waaah! Just found the perfect dress for DD for a wedding and it's out of stock. Help me find something as nice please!

perfect dress

She's nearly 3. Has anyone seen anything with the same vintage feel?

Hi. When we once similarly wanted a specific Boden item for DD for a wedding I wrote to johnnie about it and a lovely member of staff tracked one down. It is a lovely dress so might be worth a try!

I hate it when that happens!

What about these?

A greeny colour and more floaty but quite a flapper era feel:

Not totally sold on the big flower but it is very pretty:

Very very pink but a sweet neckline and full skirt:

Frothy tutu skirts in a vintage style:

Vertbaudet always surprise me with some interesting stuff for girls:

Ooh, some nice ones there thanks. The pink one also comes in sky blue, pity there's no pictures of it.

I think I will try emailing Boden first, thanks mystery!

Hi Trixy,

The dress you wanted is showing as low stock now on the Boden website - just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't get round to writing to them.

Hope you manage to get one!

I would order it anyway. Boden often say there is a 5 week delay, then send out the item within a few days.

Thank you!!!!

Dilemma now as I bought her a lovely Monsoon dress on eBay instead. Do I order the Boden one as well?!?!?!

Well as it's reduced in the sale and you got a bargain on ebay - I'd say go for it!
(I have no willpower though and can convince myself to buy anything )

Reduced?!?!?

Yes - 15% off. I clicked on a link to the website that Boden emailed me and it takes 15% of everything and gives free delivery - so the dress is down to £63.75

Try discount code A784 - if that doesn't work let me know and I'll forward you my link to try.

Girl, I think I love you!!!!

Ordered it with the express delivery so hope it arrives in time and it fits!!

Sounds as though you've found something, but Jacadi do lovely quality stuff - couldn't access the UK site from the tablet, but here's the link to the French site:

Excellent!

I bet she'll look really lovely in it - fingers crossed it gets to you in time x

Ooh that French site does some lovely stuff!

I have a horrid feeling the Biden dress will be far too big. If it's as beautiful as it looks in the pictures I will be keeping it until it fits !

I know - shame they don't do them in 'grown-up'! Mind you, even if the Boden dress is a bit long, that's what iron-on hemming is there for [bugrin]

Well the dress still hasn't arrived despite paying for express delivery. It should have been here on Wednesday at the latest. Frigging yodel have a backlog apparently and can't even guarantee delivery by Saturday . Why anyone uses that company is beyond me, they are so crap. I assume they are the cheapest.

I am really really not impressed. boden have found another and are couriering it to me tomorrow, but that doesn't leave much time for iron in hemming.

That's really crap Trixy - am very annoyed on your behalf.
Good job you've got the ebay dress as a standby.

It's arrived! It's just beautiful! It's slightly too big at the waist, but the length is wearable, so I'm just going to pull it in with a white sash.

Thank you girl!!

Good - I'm really pleased that everything worked out.
I bet your DD will be the bee's knees in her new dress - the sash will be lovely.
Have a super time at the wedding x

she looked gorgeous!!

I did have a minor heart attack and regretting buying a 2 yr old such an expensive dress when she was rolling around the floor in it and DS started dragging her around by her heels, but after a couple of glasses of bubbly I couldn't have cared less.
