Anyone seen dresses in this style at anywhere affordable?

Don’t mind paying up to £45, and I want proper mid-calf as I am tall, but can’t afford designer prices!

Sorry no help at all - but that is a beautiful, classy dress!

Saw it on the First Lady today and liked it!

I found one with a similar print but its short.

I've found this one with sleeveless, high neck, simple detail and not expensive m.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350089010?docid=221817#shoppingtool=guidednavigation_tabs&facets=pricerange1069|pricerange1068

This has sleeves but has a similar shape.

I was just going to link the same Metisu dress as widdlytinks.

I've never actually ordered from them. Can anyone recommend?

They have some lovely looking dresses: www.metisu.com/shop/clothing/dresses

Boden has a dress sale at the moment.

Navy dress in similar shape but floral pattern.
Spots but only a few sizes left.
Jersey so a bit more casual.

I got something similar on asos last year, don’t remember the brand though.

trigger2 · 02/04/2018 09:23

Wow OP that dress is beautiful.

I was looking at dresses on John Lewis website last night, some nice ones there, but nothing that compares to that !

KirstenRaymonde · 02/04/2018 09:46

Don’t order from Metisu, it’s all Korean/Chinese, the sizing is minuscule and the quality is never what it looks like on the website. Like Shein, not worth spending money on.

Belindabauer · 02/04/2018 11:14

That dress is lovely.
Not seen anything like it anywhere else.

ChishandFips33 · 02/04/2018 13:12

What are you willing to compromise on to get it in your price bracket?
Colour, print, sleeves, fabric etc

Non negotiable is the length, anything else?

snewsname · 02/04/2018 13:17

That's gorgeous.

Dresses are so short in the high street.

puppower · 02/04/2018 13:36

Dresses are so short in the high street.

Yep, so annoying & then the “tall” ranges never have the ones I actually want.

ChishandFips33 · 02/04/2018 13:38

The dress is so amazing everything I've looked at just doesn't compare!

Long Tall Sally still overpriced and not as stunning Easter Sad

trinity0097 · 02/04/2018 16:11

It’s the length that is key! Basically want something I can wear to work in the summer minus tights. In the winter I live in black opaque tights and shift dresses with a jacket, the black tights make it doable with my fat legs! In the summer I prefer mid calf length so I don’t have to wear tights.
