Find me a prom dress?

Ok, so my dd likes the shape and style of this dress

www.coast-stores.com/p/alba-jacquard-bardot-dress/1986498

Particularly the bardot neckline.

However, she does not like the colour or fabric!

We have googled dresses to no avail.

Can anyone find something similar? Bardot neckline, short, not low at the back, bold colour (she is dark haired but very fair skinned).

And just to add to the pain, she is a size 6, sometimes size 8 depending on the brand.

Thanks a lot.

Budget?

Dumbledoresgirl · 19/05/2018 22:53

Well, the linked dress is 150 which I must admit made me gasp when I saw it, but more because there didn't seem to be that much dress for the money. I guess I am prepared to pay up to that amount.

This, but the price may indicate the quality www.boohoo.com/rella-off-the-shoulder-dip-hem-skater-dress/DZZ82559.html?color=157

Yes, I suspect the cheap dress might be too cheap. Shame, because it is the right sort of thing.

The chi chi jade dress is a definite maybe, thank you. I was only saying to dd earlier that chi chi seemed to have all the best dresses.

Boohoo quality is very hit and miss always found chichi quality is very good

Mint green wrap?? asos wrap Bardot

Softer floral version - I really like this personally but perhaps it's too much of a frock asos again

Dds prom dress is from Quiz. Hers is a long fishtail style but they’ve got lots of shorter Bardot shoulder dresses. Dd chose an online exclusive one.

Dumbledoresgirl · 19/05/2018 23:51

Littleme, wow, that is amazing! Virtually the same cut, and a huge range of colours. Dd says the only thing missing is the wrap effect round the shoulders.

Yes, slightly different at the top. Beautiful dress thou Smile

GreenTulips · 20/05/2018 00:05

They are made to measure
I'm sure they they could add a wrap

BangingOn · 20/05/2018 07:59

Great neckline but possibly too pale:
Coast

Great neckline and colour but with pencil skirt
ASOS

Very similar to the one she likes but brighter floral print:
Coast floral

This looks lovely and you could probably add more net under the skirt.

GrimDamnFanjo · 20/05/2018 17:35

I've bought one before from Silhouette London. They were very reasonably priced iirc.

Lucked · 20/05/2018 17:45

asos has extra straps but cute and great price reduction.

Quiz , my DD looked amazing, her headmistress ran to her and told her she looked like a film star
