I need this dress

So was out last night and saw a girl wearing a lovely dress. To my annoyance I was sober and not brave enough to ask her where it was from. Can you help me?

It was a pink colour block dress. It had a pink pencil skirt with a slit at the back.. The skirt had pockets with grey accents. The top of the dress was white/cream with a grey boat neck collar. It was sleeveless and looked like it was a heavy jersey type material. I have spent the morning googling to no avail so now I throw myself at the s&b mercy? I need this dress. Thanks

Nice dress, Tethers can you find a budget version or is that pushing it?

I really need to hide this entire section of MN. I've already got 5 denim dresses on order (only aiming to keep 1) thanks to another thread.

Ok - am tempted to order now and sod the overdraft.

What's the sizing like in km these days? Is it still weird?

I'm a good size 12 in places likes marks but can squeeze into a whistles 10.

Looking at the size guide I would need a 14 in the bust but it'd be a wee bit loose at the hips.

The last thing I bought in km was 10 years ago and from memory it's a km size 3. Still have it somewhere

Was bad and called into the shop on way home as i wasnt sure of sizes!

Now proud owner of the dress in the smaller size - oops!

Some lovely things - could be a new favourite shop (mainly at sale times though - £75 for a t shirt!!!)

Bish - that's what I thought too

And was nearly ordering the bigger size even emailed customer services about it and they said to size up

Called in on way home and tried on both sizes and the smaller one
Was definitely the better fit. Sales assistant even said that people have said that it is a larger fit than normal

What a satisfying thread ??

Did you know you can get £50 off a £200 spend at KM with code SS14 - it could be worth ordering another item!
