Can anyone be bothered to find me a dress?

Because I can't.

I've had enough of searching, what I want doesn't seem to exist unless I sell a kidney or a child to pay for it. I haven't ruled these options out.

I want a maxi dress. Easy, right? BOLLOCKS. I want one with sleeves. At least elbow length sleeves. Not short short sleeves.

A wrap one would be ideal.

A shirt one would be great.

Anything with sleeves really.

In a 16.

Under £70 preferably.

If you can help, please take pity on me. But please don't suggest a shrug or a cardi, as it may push me over the edge.

How about the Blake dress from Baukjen. Sorry cant do a link but it does have the sleeves you're looking for. There are others you might like on the website too. It's a bit more than you were hoping to pay (£109) but you often see discounts and at least you wouldn't be paying more for a shrug Grin

Thanks both- I quite like the Baukjen one, but should've said, I don't want black.

I'm not keen on the simply be ones either, sorry- the first is a bit shapeless and red looks shite on me, the second's not too bad but a bit cheap looking and the third is a vision of hell only Zandra Rhodes could possibly create Grin

Ok, first is a bit clingy- sorry, should've said I don't want bodycon. Second is ok and third is too, but I don't think they are worth the price...

MortifiedAdams · 23/05/2013 21:20

multicoloured

MrsLettuce · 23/05/2013 21:20

maybe in store?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/05/2013 21:31

Still looking? Is it for day or evening?

Am I allowed to ask if you could just whack one of your biker jackets on top?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/05/2013 21:32

Ooh Mrs L - can just picture Tethers in the black flowery one, even though I have no idea what she looks like!

Ah, thanks for trying all.

I think I just want this Grin

Although I do like the mango one- will definitely see if they have it in store.

Love the print on the black one, but it's a bit shapeless...

I've got this , not a wrap but nice on

MrsLettuce · 23/05/2013 21:44

yy, but shapeless can be very flattering. Honest. Maybe down a size . Is well worth trying on.
