Am desperately trying to get hold of this dress in age 6 or 7- thought I had ordered it last week for DD as she wanted to spend her Christmas money on it.

I went to check when it was arriving and it was still in my basket and is now out of stock Sad

I wonder if anyone who is going to John Lewis would mind looking for one? I would reimburse plus twat tax Grin

Worth a try but ime when it's out of stock online there are usually none in store either.

southeastastra · 03/01/2014 11:20

no i find there is more in store, will look for you.

dexter73 · 03/01/2014 11:25

I'll be in Reading at the weekend so will have a look.

tethersend · 03/01/2014 11:36

Thank you both, much appreciated Smile

I can check the Cardiff store on Monday if you haven't had any luck before then.

shelley72 · 03/01/2014 11:40

I can check in Southampton next Tuesday for you. Have you tried calling them? They've rung round stores for a coat for me before, found one in Glasgow and sent it free of charge. Love JL!

tethersend · 03/01/2014 11:55

Thanks Smile

I tried ringing, but just got some grumpy bloke who said that they couldn't check individual stores. I think he'd had enough Grin

Ooh Dexter, I was just about to reply to say I will be in Reading on Saturday too! Might see you there Grin I'll have a look for you too, op.

Beccadugs · 03/01/2014 12:04

tethersend call again, because that is a lie. I wanted the carrycot for the travel cot we have ordered, and it wasn't available online. They saw that Trafford had it so I called and had it sent.

Johnlewis.com call centre has really gone down hill recently!

dexter73 · 03/01/2014 14:00

Dan - we can have a fight over the OP's dress!

ClaraDeLaNoche · 03/01/2014 14:32

Got it! 6 or 7? Doesn't look that big. In Glasgow. Am not a weirdo honest.

GoodnessKnows · 03/01/2014 14:34

Ooooh. I hope that OP sees your message!

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 03/01/2014 14:35

Dexter and Dan I'll see you there!! I've got sale parcels to collect need new shoes for dd and going to use my free hot drink and cake voucher.

Dontletthemgetyoudown · 03/01/2014 14:36

I'd say size up in jl own brand dd is 7-8 elsewhere but 9 in jl.

tethersend · 03/01/2014 15:04

Oh wow, thanks!!!

CLARA!

Are you still there? Either size is fine, age six would be great but very happy with seven as JL sizes are pretty small. If you didn't get one, don't worry. The fact that you thought of it is lovely. Sorry I missed your post!

OP posts:
ClaraDeLaNoche · 03/01/2014 15:26

Yes am at the hoovers. Both dresses tucked at bottom of basket. Def the 6?

tethersend · 03/01/2014 15:30

You STAR, thank you Smile

Yes please, the six should be fine.

PM me and let me know how to get the money to you Smile

Ok I'm late to the party as usual, but I've just picked it up in a 7 from JL Cheadle! Will return. At least your DD will be happy. Smile

tethersend · 03/01/2014 15:39

Oh no howmuch, will it be a pain to return? Am happy to have two Grin

tethersend · 03/01/2014 15:40

DD is doing a happy dance Grin

OP posts:
Twinklestein · 03/01/2014 15:45

Glad it worked out.

But whoever you spoke to at JL is a total liar - many times when something's been out of stock online I've rung customer services and they've given me a list of the stores it's still in stock and given me the phone numbers.

howmuchworse · 03/01/2014 15:45

No, its a short distance away and I'm there quite a lot, so it's not a problem.

southeastastra · 03/01/2014 15:49

ah glad you have sorted it, they had one in size 8 in Watford JL but my phone is so ancient it doesn't do the internet so i thought that would be too big.

tethersend · 03/01/2014 16:18

Ah, you lot are brill. Thank you so, so much Smile

DD is only a skinny 5 but tall, so needs a six- although you're right sea- I think an 8 would have been too big.

Honestly, I'm really touched that so many of you looked for me- are you reading this, John Lewis? Complete strangers agreed to find me the dress when your own employee couldn't be arsed. Tut tut Grin

OP posts:
ClaraDeLaNoche · 03/01/2014 18:07

Pm me your address and will post on Monday. Very poor show in JL today there was a lot of rubbish out!
