Help me find a dress please

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thanks for all the shoe help - am going to report back after a trip to town at the weekend. :)

Now I need dress help, please!

I want a proper, old fashioned, cotton sundress. Sleeveless. Fitted waist. Fullish skirt. Not too garish or expenisve. Nothing like Vivienne of Holloway etc. Must be a real shop. I like black, black and white, red, pink, grey, possibly yellow or purple. I don't like blue, green. A pattern is fine if not too big.

Thanks in advance for anybody feeling patient!

How about one of the Liberty for Uniqlo dresses? www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/174186?r=2511684403954428300

I hate blue though. :(

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Bugger. Just realised that the Warehouse one is navy - thought it was black.

ASOS isn't linking properly ATM but you might like 'ASOS Tiered Linen Midi Sundress' it says linen but it's 100% cotton. Yellow mind. ( Here in case linking bug is fixed)

[tethersend]

Black

[tethersend]

Jesus, everything out there is blue... Why??

[Lucked]

Another black one but it would be too short for me.

[MrsLettuce]

Blue everywhere. Yes.

What about this navy stripe dress from Dorothy Perkins?

I like this but it might be too casual for you.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yumi one nice but too short. Hate that Gap one, sorry. It looks like dishrag even on the beautiful model, so I dread to think what it'd be like on me.

No to navy stripes. I don't like blue! And nearly everything out there is bloody blue!

Sorry - I am v awkward.

Don't like the Dotty P's ones - I don't want jersey.
No to Uniqlo.
No to all the blue ones.
I like the gingham one a lot, but I think it's blue.
No to Seasalt.
Miss S one far too short and teenage

This is the sort of shape I have in mind.

[tethersend]

I KNOW you said no 50s-esque ones, but this is nice if you ignore the styling.

[tethersend]

Topshop also in black, but not sure about the crochet bit.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Bloody hell, Teths. I'd look like Barbara flipping Windsor in that first one!!!! Can't see the Topshop one properly but will try a search.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

No to Topshop. I am far too buxom.

[MrsLettuce]

I'm amazed you don't have a tame seamstress by now TBH.
