I've been waiting and waiting for it to be on the website for 2 months, before it was for sale. No sign of it. Now in the daily mail there's an article saying its selling like hot cakes online but I still can't find it on the bloody website.

How the hell are people buying it online!

It is here but sold out I think

I googled "M&S owl dress", because I am an internet genius.

Thanks, I never thought to google it. Blush

I have spent ages searching through all the dresses on m&s, searching for blue short sleeved ones, putting owl in their search box, etc.

Grin I didn't want viva to be disappointed in missing out on one

I'd assume after that blasted DM article, they'll be sold out. There is a size 12 on ebay as we "speak"

whootwhoo

BunnyLebowski · 03/08/2012 17:52

Ebay?

If you're an owl fancier?

raspberryshake · 03/08/2012 17:54

I have it!!! Bought in store yesterday at Hedge End (Southampton). They had roughly 10 in different sizes. Must be in others branches too?!

It IS gorgeous!

Good luck x

VivaLeBeaver · 03/08/2012 17:56

How much is it in store?

raspberryshake · 03/08/2012 17:57

£35... A bargain I thought!

VivaLeBeaver · 03/08/2012 17:58

Raspberry - is it true to size incase I do end up buying one on ebay?

What size are you looking for Viva? I will have a look over the weekend.

VivaLeBeaver · 03/08/2012 17:59

Need a size 16.

phone customer service and they'll tell you which stores have which sizes and you can then pay over the phone

dexter73 · 03/08/2012 18:01

Ok will keep my beady eyes out for one!

raspberryshake · 03/08/2012 18:12

Viva - it is true to size... I'm a 12 in M&S - and I have a waist and hips. The dress is fitted around the waist, and that bit fits just right. If I put on any weight it prob won't fit as nicely if you see what I mean. I'm 5ft 5in and it sits about an inch and a half above my knee.

raspberryshake · 03/08/2012 18:13

Forgot to say its very flattering for my pear shaped bottom and mummy tummy!

VivaLeBeaver · 03/08/2012 18:29

Thanks dexter.

Thanks mrsrcb, I'll ring first tomorrow before going into town. I'm going on holiday on Sunday and can really do without a trip to town as need to pack, go to the kennels, etc tomorrow.

Dress sounds nice, hiding a mummy tummy sounds good.

They knew it would sell really well. A few months ago they did a flamingo version which sold out in days. They said then they'd do an owl version in July. I've been waiting months!
