Help to find a dress (pictures)

Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of help in trying to track down a dress I tried on at the weekend. I know I could phone the shop I tried it on in but the assistants were emmmm, well let's just say, less than helpful!

It's a wetsuit type material holds everything in and is a similar neckline at the back as per the front.

Also, what do you think of royal blue shoes (as per tried on in pic)?? Or would you go for samey same nude?

Thanks Flowers

I don't know what you mean by help in tracking it down, can't you just go back to the shop and buy it there?

The shop is not local to me another county and it was an independent boutique that stocked many many labels ie not an oasis or warehouse iykwim??

What was the name of the boutique?

Ring them and find out who stocks it locally?
They might have different people in today- helpful ones. Or ask to speak to the manager/owner. Maybe they could send it you?

I agree with everyone else, you should just call them. They won't necessarily know you are you, will they?

It sounds as if the fabric is scuba, also known as neoprene. I can't see your dress on a quick google search but quite a lot of options come up on Shopstyle.

Or this one if you like the feathers?

Ponte is another possibility for the fabric - kind of like a thin neoprene.

I'd also suggest phoning them up - if it were me, the fact that they were unhelpful would make me even more likely to enjoy wasting their time give them the opportunity to redeem themselves.

Dress looks lovely on you, btw - but you have such a great figure I can't imagine it would be too difficult to find a suitable alternative.
