This dress is lovely, apart from one thing...help me find a similar one

[OrangeSunset]

I tried this dress on for smart christmas nights out. Its lovely, really nice shape and good skirt length, with one problem.....the mesh one the cap sleeves goes too high up into my arm pit, and I just know that within 2 minutes of wearing it it would be a bit damp!

So, if I loved this, where could I look for something similar (and hopefully a bit cheaper?). Am SAHM who lives in skinnies with the old leggings/skirt combo so am branching out here..

Industrial strength anti-perspirant?
If you love it that much-and I agree, it's a great dress, it might be worth sorting out/putting up with, the dampness.

This to be fair isn’t very similar in print...but it is a similar shape and I think looks lovely

There was also this...

but i don’t think I like the lace up bit

Bit too racey?

But after all that. I do love the French Connection one!

This one is lovely and might avoid the armpit problem (but not cheaper sorry) www.reiss.com/p/neoprene-dress-womens-melody-in-blacklilacash/?category_id=11000
