Calling all shopoholics/style gurus.

I saw a woman walk past me when I was stuck in traffic. She was wearing a spotty dress which I loved at first sight. I've got to have one!!!! It was a beige colour with white spots.
Strangely, I then saw another lady wearing the same dress but in a dark brown with white spots. She was just getting out of her car but, again. I was driving. I know should have stopped and asked but I had someone driving up my arse.
The spots were a bit smaller than a Smartie and it was cotton.
It was a knee length shirt dress with buttons down the front and small puffed sleeves and a tie at the waist. . . .Oh dear, i've made it sound revolting but it was GORGOUS and I won't rest 'till i've got one!
and I'm sure it wasn't from Boden!

Please help!!!!!

Sounds like that dress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman - at the polo game. Saw a girl in London wearing one yesterday funnily enough. Very stylish. Dunno where you'd get one but someone will.

ah, so if you've seen one too, i can't have dreamt it!

Can't remember what Julia Roberts wore in Pretty woman. My memory is so rubbish.

theshrimp · 23/06/2006 20:32

The Pretty Woman one is a bit smarter and sleeveless. This one definatelt had short puffed sleeves.

I heard recently that they now do it in beigy brown too

JackieNo · 23/06/2006 20:51

Wrong colour, but was it like this ?

theshrimp · 23/06/2006 21:01

Kind of like the Gwen Stefani one but longer and less full.
I must go and check out Primark now!
