I need help to find a plan b just in case!

Cheersthankyouta · 21/11/2017 19:38

I have my heart set on this dress to get married in in February

www.lulus.com/products/i-madeline-garden-splendor-navy-blue-floral-print-dress/290352.html

But it is out of stock until December. I have contacted Lulu's and the December date is an estimate they have from their buyers so there is no guarantee it will arrive by then or that there will be enough time to get it delivered to the UK

I need a plan B but don't know where to start looking.

Any suggestions welcome, can't find anything similar with my limited knowledge of where to look!

Thanks for the link! About £120 max though the lower the better. Smile

Cheersthankyouta · 21/11/2017 22:09

The first one has too mich red for me. But I love the phase eight one! I might even prefer it to my first choice 😁. Thanks so much for taking the time to help

You're really good at this! Though I'm still pretty swayed towards the plain blue...

Oh good, I like it too. But are you an 8 10 12 or 16 as that's all they have left...

Free delivery and returns so you could order, try and return if it doesn't suit

Cheersthankyouta · 21/11/2017 22:22

I do like the warehouse one but was going for navy as my base colour.

I'm an 8 sometimes a 10 (depending on shop) so was thinking could order one of each size and return the one that fits least well

minipie · 21/11/2017 22:24

You might also like this although no idea about the company

Cheersthankyouta · 21/11/2017 22:25

Also xoticdreamz...I have no idea about the links either, you're not alone Grin

See I do like that one but being from China I would be a bit worried about sizing being off and having to return and then having no time to find anything else.
