This is a long shot, but I noticed it is still available in a size 18, could you buy this size and have it tailored to fit you? Lots of dry cleaners offer this type of service.

try e-mailing customer service (there's a template on their website) . They may be able to locate one in store on their stock system.

Good Luck

I agree with Chottie, if you can't find it elsewhere , that is such a simple style it looks easy to alter.
If it is returnable , why not buy it , put it on inside out and get a friend to pin where it should go - you will need to do the sleeve / shoulder seam as well. Check that the neckline still looks ok as you can't alter that. If you use proper dressmaking pins they shouldn't leave a mark in that fabric such that you couldn't return it. If that all looks ok , it will probably need the sleeves taking off and reattaching and the waistline unpicking at either side. If you know someone who can sew , ideal , if you don't , then question then only remains whether you think the cost of the alterations is worth it.

Looki - I just followed the link and size 10 is now showing as available! Just size 10 and 18.

Looki - just looked at the dress online and Size 10 is showing as available - just size 10 and 18.

Just going to say the same, size ten is now in stock. Go get it!

If its only just sold out they'll get as few back in as people return orders that didn't fit.

looki · 13/02/2015 12:11

Woohoo - I have just ordered it. Thanks so much to you all and Anjelika for spotting it was back in stock!

I never even thuught of buying a bigger size and altering it, its not an expensive dress, I'd say the cost of doing that would be the same as the dress itself but its something to think about for the future!

Fingers crossed it suits me now!
