Can anyone help me & my sister find this bridesmaid dress for her wedding??

hello!
My sister is getting married in August.. I am a bridesmaid. She wants the 3 bridesmaids in different coloured one shoulder maxi dresses.. the other two already have a coral one and a grey one and we're trying to get me a mint-coloured one.
We found this H&M dress which we love but it's sold out in my size (10) we bought a 12 on ebay hoping it would fit anyway, but it was way too big.. so now we're waiting for a 10 to come up again on ebay but the wedding is approaching fast Confused

Any ideas anyone?? We really love this dress and it needs to be this colour (and one shoulder, as the other two dresses are) but short of calling every H & M store in the country or just hoping it comes up on ebay I'm not sure what to do!

Do you know/could you find a dress maker who could alter the size 12 for you?

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 09:54

I did ask my MIL (who is an expert sewer but not dressmaker as such) and she said it would be really complicated cos of the ruching, and the lining.. and the fact it's one-shoulder so it would be hard to make it sit right after alteration (it was the bodice that was too wide on me)

Can you find someone to take the 12 in?

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 06/06/2013 10:08

oops Xpost. Do you know anybody abroad who can post you the dress from H&M?

WeAreSix · 06/06/2013 10:09

Where are you?

I'm going into town on Saturday and I'll look to see if our store has it in stock if you like?

PlumSykes · 06/06/2013 10:22

I will have a look for you.

PlumSykes · 06/06/2013 10:24

Although, I actually think if you take it to a proper alterations place, they will be able to do it for you.

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 10:37

Ah thanks so much, I'm in Cardiff, my sis is in Birmingham. Will definitely look into finding a proper dressmaker thanks!

I'm struggling with the website - just keeps saying it's down for maintenance - but I can also take a look in our local H&M for you if you like?

Can you post another link & I'll see if that works? Or do you have a product ref that I can search on the site?

Is it the green one? It says delivery between 10th-14th June for me in a size 10. Or am I being stupid. Grin

Celticlassie · 06/06/2013 16:14

It's available in a 10 now.

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 16:59

kneedeep does yours really let you buy a size 10 in the green?? Sure it's not the pink?

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 17:08

havinganoffday the product code is 78-8680 and I want it in light green, not pink.

My sis has just text me to say she's been into both H&Ms in Birmingham and they never had it in green Confused so we don't know if it's an online exclusive (which might make it harder to find..d'oh)

OP posts:
Kneedeepindaisies · 06/06/2013 17:24

I put in a 10 for light green and a 10 for the pink and it says they'll be delivered in one package between 10th and 14th of June.

I'll take away the pink and see if it makes a difference.

FitByForty · 06/06/2013 17:24

I've just tried and it definitely let me add a green size 10 to the basket. It didn't say out of stock.
Worth a try.

Kneedeepindaisies · 06/06/2013 17:25

Took out the pink and its still saying the green 10 will come next week.

Lovely dresses btw.

lucidlady · 06/06/2013 17:26

Have you tried calling H&M head office? They might be able to help.

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 17:35

Thanks so much kneedeep and fitbyforty I'll give it a go! And if not then yes, lucid that's definitely worth a try, thank you!

Hmph, mine says sold out if I try to add a size 10 to the bag, and offers me a different green maxi dress. Are you both on the UK site?

OP posts:
Celticlassie · 06/06/2013 17:40

That's really odd - it let me add the green to my basket in a 10 too, taking me all the way to checkout and didn't even give a long delivery date.

Celticlassie · 06/06/2013 17:40

Also in UK

Kneedeepindaisies · 06/06/2013 17:41

Ok so when I followed your link it let me add it and gave me a delivery date.

If I go on the website and find the dress it says Out of stock.

Sorry! That's really odd.

Celticlassie · 06/06/2013 17:42

Sold out now, but I'd say it's worth keeping a look out and checking regularly.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 06/06/2013 17:43

Green size 10 says sold out for me too I'm afraid.

Kneedeepindaisies · 06/06/2013 17:44

I would go to a professional dressmaker. I had a Monsoon bridesmaid dress taken in with ruffles and it was fine.
