I want a dress like Nigella Lawson used to wear.

The clingy, pencil, often wrap, dressses she used to wear a lot before she lost weight. They were so simple, but looked amazing. My budget would undoubtedly be miniscule compared to hers, but it's worth a try...

Try Deadly is the female shop in Frome, she has bought dresses from here.

Bugger. I suspected as much. I think I want a miracle.

Diva Dresses are similar.

I have the Billion Dollar Baby dress by the brand Stop Staring that she has been pictured in. Got the black one and it felt so amazing on that I got it in green too.

dirtylittlemonsters · 20/03/2019 23:43

Just to add... got them both on ebay

Bombshell has some great Nigella dresses too.

MrsElbadrama · 21/03/2019 00:08

Was just about to suggest bombshell too

I was about to suggest Bombshell too!

I'm sure she uses them.

Great in the sale, but I can't afford to even look at them at full price.

They usually do a beautifully feminine summer range.

I've just been looking at the bombshell ones, some of those are beautiful. I can feel an early birthday request coming on...

I think it was the Roland Mouret Galaxy dress wasn’t it?

Dirt cheap, but looks amaazing on works for me. Some of these are amazing dresses, but I'd have to save for a while.

How about this one? here.
I'm mostly size 10 (occasionally need bigger for hips and bust), and 5,10, but built of aa similar consistency to blancmange. I thought the stomach rouching looked good...

I think she liked the brand "damsel in a dress" or similar, she found dresses she liked and purchased several in different colours.

Whatnotea · 26/03/2019 09:23

I am a Bombshell fan, so far I have 5....always get a compliment when I wear them

Glitterandunicorns · 26/03/2019 09:46

@YesQueen both of those dresses look AMAZING on you!

Imacliche · 26/03/2019 10:44

Boohoo has some lovely dresses for very cheap and they always fit perfect size wize. Never had to send anything back yet
