Anyone fancy helping me find a dress just like this one?

The image is a boden dress. I procrastinated. For ages. Then it went in the sale, I added it to my basket in a couple of colourways, got distracted by DD for a few mins, went back and my basket has emptied and it's sold out Angry

What I like: tiny cap sleeves, empire, wrap, flattering tummy, neckline not high, jersey. I also liked that it was £19 in the sale but I need to move on!

I'm a 16/18 with boobs being my issue area, hence the wrap and empire being the ideal. Empire is less formal than wrap at the waist, and I want this dress for casual use, including holidays at the end of the month.

What's not important is colour or pattern - but I do have red hair, so that's a consideration!!

I've looked everywhere else I can think of. Sea salt, fat face, white stuff, dreaded M&S....

Can anyone find an alternative? Thank you.

Keep checking Boden in case they get any returns.

They've done that style in difference colourways for years, so something might come up on eBay?

Could try asking on this Facebook group too.

There's a purple and blue floral one, and a green leopard print one on eBay at the moment in an 18.

Is there bike ? What search terms are using on eBay? I can't locate them

This might suit you? Although obviously linen is a bit more high maintenance than cotton from an ironing point of view...

Intransige · 04/08/2017 09:43

This is a bit closer to the boden one.

Alabasterangel6 · 04/08/2017 09:44

intrasinge I do like that, but not very holiday-ish? I love the cut.

It'll come back. Keep an eye on it for a week or so until returns come in.

Alabasterangel6 · 04/08/2017 09:49

I'll keep an eye then. I'm ever hopeful. Shame there isn't a notification thing to tell you when things come back in.

I've found them bike - not really a leopard kind of person but I might try that green one! Thank you.

Alabasterangel6 · 04/08/2017 16:35

Yes!!!! Except....No!! It shows, then when I add it it says 'you've just missed it' Envy

This is a similar shape, although viscose not cotton?

Mudd and water Ciara dress

Alabasterangel6 · 04/08/2017 21:02

intransige love that. No 18 though. Joe
Browns always come up small, def need an 18 in that and it's sold out.

bike that's very pretty, love the colour, but hanging from the boob without and cinching will make me look 11 months pregnant. I'm a 16 bottom and an 18/g cup top unfortunately

Never heard of 'thought' - that pocket dress is very pleasing. Might have to give that a go.....thank you!

Thought used to be called Braintree, if you've come across them. Only changed name earlier this year.

GrumpyOldFucker · 05/08/2017 08:07

I have this dress! Not your size sadly - I've not worn it yet. I got it from eBay and I think there are some 12s on it the now - if you wait other sizes may come up. There's a lot of Boden on eBay.

How about these
