Where is an amazing navy shirt dress from?

I saw someone wearing a navy dress, shirt dress shape I think but no buttons, more a long grandad shirt I guess.

It's navy cotton type material, maybe very slightly brushed cotton.

It has a white pattern on it. I don't know how to describe it, almost like a drawn on squiggle. Slightly like paisley in style, but less ordered and more organic. Almost like a really stylish snail trail over the fabric!

If this sounds at all familiar to anyone, please let me know!

Or any other shirt dresses, I think they're my new shape

I don't know but I like the sound of it!

Giving a bump!

Whistles do dresses like this most seasons. I have a navy one and a leopard print one.

I have seen similar in COS and Jaeger.

I was also thinking Whistles. Won't be cotton though...

I have a nice one from the Whote Company - baby with white spots. Last season.

Fat Face have one in needlecord this season.

Sorry typing so badly. Navy

I had to stop a random in a pub this summer who had the most effortless navy shirt dress. It was from ARKET but a few seasons old.

Thanks for idea. The Whistles one looks about the right shape, though possibly slightly more formal and structured than mine

I migjt have to put my big girl pants on and ask the work colleague where she got it from. She's mid 20s whereas I'm knocking on the door of 40 and I didn't want to ask her in case she gets horrified that the middle aged lady at work wants to copy her style

Maybe I'll wear weekly it to our weekly meeting, that'll really upset her!

I've had to steel myself to compliment and ask complete strangers where they got that coat/jacket/top or pair of shoes from.

Every time, the item I coveted was years old or purchased in a foreign country.

One thing though - my queries didn't half cheer the wearers up.

You've got nothing to lose OP, I might bring a smile to your colleagues face.

It might

It’s happened a couple of times that people have asked me where I got stuff from, and every time it made my day. The age of the person asking was irrelevant! Just ask op

Hopefully she’ll have bought it recently. Please share what you find out!

This is nice but comes up big. I had to return the 10 and get an 8.

I have been asked a couple of times about clothes I was wearing and it made my day each time! Ask her just don't wear it at the same time!

Could it be this? Darker in real life.

from Uniqlo. It's described its purple but it looks navy.

Your colleague? A person you actually know? Lol. It wouldn’t even cross my mind not to ask “ I love your dress, where’s it from” You’d have to be a complete bitch to be offended by that. ( if she’s a complete bitch then obviously do not let those words out your mouth).

Thanks for that divebar

At explained I don't want to make all the cool young people at work laugh at the middle aged mum trying to copy their fashion

And the woman in question went on leave the day after I spotted her dress and has been away for the last week and all off next week so I hope MN might be a shortcut to finding it

Good find from my dodgy description petronella! Not quite the one though, mine has a lot less white. The lines are thinner, really like a single pen line, almost like a henna hand pattern

Once the colleague is back from hols and wears it again I'll ask her if the mood feels right. I've had weekly meetings with her, and seen her around daily for about 6 months and I've never seen it before, so I think they're is a good chance its new.
I might be wrong but she seems a more warehouse type than eg Whistles

Aaawww please don’t think like that. I’m sure she would enjoy the compliment irrespective of age.
