Just love this- but without a lottery win alas i cannot afford it. Actually even if i won the lottery i wouldn't spend that on a skirt....so can anyone suggest a lookalike skirt at a more down to earth price. Am not fussy really- would love suggestions for skirts, dresses, jackets, tops.....all with this feel!!!! PLEASE! The more the merrier please!

These two dresses look similar I think - not so much close up, these are not tweed but jersey with lace overlaid. I tried on the second one in white with pale grey underneath and it was lovely.

Have just found this one, which is pretty but a bit pricey - www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Skirts/Knee-Length-Skirts/BG009/Womens-Chic-Broderie-Skirt.html?NavGroupID=13

Hi always I am a size 8-10 and the small size fitted pretty well on me. The size guide shows S as a 10 equivalent so I would say they veer towards the small side.

It was a great dress, would have bought it but it's a bit too smart for my SAHM life (and I tend to go bit more glam/casual, less pretty for evenings out). I think it would be good for the summer at work or a wedding though. Despite the fitted look the jersey makes it very comfortable, I have tried similar styles in different fabrics - such as this one with that kind of waistband that makes your waist look tiny, but they have had no stretch so quite constricting IYKWIM.

Any good?

Brilliant suggestions- love the h&m one styleguille.....although the restrictive walking may be a hassle. And handmadetall- I finally made it into jcrew last week and may just have a skirt like that(and another couple- but they were on sale so I couldn't resist). Sleepwhenidle- yikes I love the Netaporter one too!!!! Fantastic! Thanks all!
