Help me find the beautiful bee shirt?

Hello! I saw a lady in a beautiful shirt today, I wish I'd asked where it was from! I've googled to no avail, so hoping someone here might know.

It was:
Navy
Sheer
Long sleeves
A delicate print of bees all over
Breast pockets with a contrasting polka dot print (still navy)
Buttons down the front like any shirt, but unusually buttons down the back too

Written down that sounds really busy but I promise she looked so chic!

Is this it?

Justincase87 · 17/05/2019 16:34

Ahh cross posted!

Justincase87 · 17/05/2019 16:36

Just realized that link doesn't take you to it... Search for mint velvet shirt on house of Fraser, it's £35 but only a size 18 available

GeorgeTheBleeder · 17/05/2019 16:36

Not this then?

My link went weird too it's here www.mintvelvet.co.uk/product/bee-print-blouse/17351

GeorgeTheBleeder · 17/05/2019 16:38

Oh - you’ve all found it!

Icedlatte · 17/05/2019 16:58

Oh yes it's the mint velvet one, amazing, thankyou!

George I actually already have that star print one in my basket too. I guess I have a favourite style!

Thanks so much all!

I have the navy star print one op, I'd say it comes up true to size/a bit small if it helps.

OP I am so gutted, I liked this and bought one from House of Fraser based on this thread, was looking forward to wearing it for two upcoming occasions but this morning they emailed me to say they can’t fulfil the order [weeps].

If anyone can direct me to one in size 16/18 I will be ever grateful.

100% polyester - and looks it

ILikeyourHairyHands · 20/05/2019 23:09

Is this not a case of the wearer looked chic, not the shirt?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 21/05/2019 05:30

But it doesn't have buttons down the back, or contrasting pockets, any polka dots, is embroidered not printed and black not navy!

How did you manage to misremember so much OP? And how did the rest of you know it was that blouse based on wrong info??

Witchcraft, I tell ye!

Cuppa12345 · 21/05/2019 05:35

Are you looking at the mint velvet one? It does have buttons down the back, contrasting fabric, is navy.... Do you need glasses?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 21/05/2019 05:51

Apparently so! My search took me here

https://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/brand/mint-velvet/black-bee-embellished-blouse-ab9715#colcode=ab971500

and when the OP said it was the MV one I looked no further!

Apologies OP! Grin

Cuppa12345 · 21/05/2019 07:30

I mean, it's witch craft in so much as there is a reasonable explanation for it like most "magic" 😂

Icedlatte · 25/05/2019 12:57

MV do two bee shirts - the black embellished one and the blue one I described, both with bees on but otherwise quite different.

Bugeyedbeans and hairyhands not sure why you both felt the need to put down my taste, the wearer's taste and indeed some of the other strangers on this thread.
I saw the shirt (in real life I might add!) And loved it. Some helpful folk helped me track it down. Give some thought to which part of that prompted you to go mean girl,and whether you really feel great about that.

I love it, I'm going to order it

BusterGonad · 25/05/2019 16:55

I think it's lovely too. Some people are just grumpy fucks op.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 25/05/2019 18:29

I love both of them! ( says the woman who can't follow links correctly.)
