Can you find this but cheaper?

[tethersend]

I like this, and have been after something like it for ages- BUT... this one is too expensive. Would pay £45 max.

I need:

-half or 3/4 sleeves (at least elbow length)
-knee length
-scoop or v neck
-thin jersey not ponte etc.
-size 16
-black
-no pattern of any kind

I thought they'd be everywhere. They're nowhere. Help!

Would this work?

How about either of these? I really rate Amazon for Jersey dresses, all the ones I've had have been really cheap but brilliant quality, wash really well and look loads nicer in RL than in the photos.

Debenhams £29 here

H&M usually have that style in a variety of colours.

Thanks all

Hadn't thought of amazon... unfortunately those are too flared, but will see if I can find a pencil/bodycon style.

The necks are too high on the others (and sleeves too long on the 1st one)- I've found so many which are nearly right, but nothing which matches my fusinness requirements!

Nothing on H&M

I was just pondering this one but there's no size 16.

This looks nice but a bit over budget.

Sale

Hi Remus

Thanks for looking. I actually bought the Boden one a while back- it's really lovely but very long sleeved and double layered, so a bit hot to wear atm.

The first people tree one has sleeves which are too short, the second ones are too long, and both necks are too high.

I realise how fussy I sound

Anything suitable here? There's a fair few that are above the knee/mid thigh on the model but I'm a short arse and they'd be knee length on me

I've missed you, Tethers! Where have you been hiding?

Obviously I'll fail you in finding you a dress, but it's good to see you anyway!

Bodycon style in thin jersey doesn't work for me as I have too many lumps and bumps. Thin jersey is very unforgiving unless it's loose or flowing.

Of course you may have no lumps over which you wish to skim

Hobbs had them in navy

Oh, there are lumps... so many lumps... I just don't care Plus, firm but fair knickers

Good to see you too Remus. Has term ended yet? Mine ends tomorrow and I'm on my bloody KNEES.

Definitely don't want navy.

That other site keeps reloading so I get a glimpse of the dresses then they disappear- they all look a bit too short though.

Asos?

Two more days and ready to drop. So much to do too. Weeps.

Topshop etc used to have stacks of these dresses and now nobody does. I've been looking for one for months.

Nothing on Asos. For the first time EVER. Everywhere used to have them!

Two more days. Grim. Mind you, our neighbouring LA don't finish until next Friday

PattyBoutik got the kind of styles that you are looking for at your budget. They'd be gorgeous on a slim body. They are on Amazon too. So you can check them out there as well

sleeves are too long

Bloody hell, that's the most easily fixable thing there is! I'm sure you can find a dry cleaner who'll do it for a fiver?

Remus I sooo miss the TSA threads

TSA?

I have one nearly identical from asos??

Well technically you can have anything altered to make it what you want- but where's the fun in that? Plus, I want it quickly, so dry cleaner/altering one isn't going to work.

Do you think a maternity one would work? Plus there's ruching, lest my lumps and bumps offend

I have a couple of the Happy Mama amazon dresses from when I was pregnant, I still wear them now and they are very comfy and flattering, I always get asked where I got them from when I wear one

Thank you Loup- will order one and see how it is.
