Please help me find this lovely summer dress

[totallyyesno]

I saw this on a woman and stupidly didn't ask her where it was from - if you have seen anything similar, let me know.

• cotton
• quite fitted bodice
• shoulder straps (but wide rather than spaghetti style)
• full pleated skirt, almost ankle length
• more pleats in the back creating a sort of swisy bustle style

It was so lovely! Anyone seen anything like that around? Thanks.

Colour? Pattern?

It was striped and multicolored but I would buy any colour if I could find that shape.

Like this? Dress

OP does this fit the bill? www.yumi.co.uk/blue-broderie-anglaise-sundress/?utm_source=paid_social&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=dpa&utm_content=NF_TAKE40&fbclid=IwAR03vi9_3rgXyh-3k_qhX4V_jmm_Wr-i1OtyO8D_WHkh2_08p4qqleiq_v0

Thy only box it doen't tick is the pleated bustle-type back...

Re the bustle back All Saints parachute dresses used to have this - are they still around? I've gone nostalgic! I loved those.

ted baker?

@Ellapaella - the link doesn't work for me
@Flyinggeese - nice but not long or full enough
@jimmybim - nice but not long or swishy enough!

What about one of these?

Whistles and Baukjen have this style

The bustle sounds like Vivienne Westwood

This one op

Thanks for all the suggestions. That banana republic one is the closest but still not as decadent as the one I want which was really full skirted, with lots of fabric.

Any of these?

Or these?

Or this

Not exactly but the closest is the brown one on your first post! Where's it from?

Dress

Oops, shop details would help. Posted link above.

The search I did was shirredmaxi dress or midi dress,

Thanks. Not available though. The search continues!

Was it similar to this shape?

It sounds lovely - hope you find it 🤞

@763freedom The top was similar but the skirt was a lot fuller and longer.

This looks like a fairly full skirt. The straps are thin, but it’s hand made so you probably ask for wider straps.

Another Etsy one. This has a very full, long skirt with pleats at the back giving a slight bustle effect.
