Trying to find a shirt dress...help!

I saw someone wearing it today on the street. Corn flower blue, long / three quarter length sleeved shirt dress. Midi or long length. I'm sure it's recent as I have seen similar styles in Hush and Fat Face recently. Any ideas? It looked lovely and cool and flowy! I was driving it would have asked where it was from....

Is it this?. Sold out online 😔 but might still be in store?

I've seen similar dresses to your description in Monki recently. Great selection of flowy and oversized dresses. Also Arket is good for this style.

M&S has a long blue shirt dress at the moment (very small floral print on it). Can’t link for some reason, but you should be able to find it on the website.

I think that's it @QuentinQuarantino a shame its sold out. Will try and find a lookalike dress. Thanks all.

Hadn't heard of Monki @DancingLady but I like that style, oversized shirt dresses etc.

Will check out M&S too.

The new look one is great, it’s almost as good as my hush ones only no pockets!

I have that new look one. Recently noticed that Zara did one exactly the same which pops up on eBay, might be worth a look. It’s a shirt dress, Same colour, Pattern Length, sleeves etc

Thanks @Budapestpest I just had a look on Ebay. Someone is selling the New Look one for £45! As nice as it is, the idea of it being really popular and sold out has put me off it a bit. It's probably going to become the new white Zara spotty dress from a few years back that everyone wore! Will have a look at the Zara one you mentioned. I would still be happy to get hold of it or something similar but refuse to pay silly Ebay twice the original price prices!

@Lockdownhairdontcare Hush actually have a similar one but its £99! Ouch!

Op I can’t see a dress from new look becoming as infamous as that white Zara one but I take your point!!
The new look one went into the sale (was when i got it) so I don’t think it was that popular
Good luck in your search!

Budapestpest · 08/08/2020 09:03

Plus, yes eBay can be crazy. There’s a dress on Zara right now which is in stock in all sizes, but on eBay for 1.5 times the price!

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 08/08/2020 09:04

Zara have a few I saw online yesterday

Lockdownhairdontcare · 08/08/2020 11:57

The Hush one you mean is not as nice. I say that as someone who has more Hush dresses than I do handbags! The Kensington’s or Sophie’s are more flattering fits if your going all out.

New look have 25% off all dresses today too!

Don't lose hope on the New Look one. Refresh the page every 30 mins or so. They process returns throughout the day/night with high stock volumes so you'll likely see it come up in your size if you keep an eye over it the next few days.

That's how I got hold of an OOS jumpsuit and a play suit last week. Regrettably neither look great on so not keeping but hey ho. Lack of pics with clothes being worn by the model really make it hard.

clumsychump · 08/08/2020 12:09

Is it this? Zara last summer

Budapestpest · 08/08/2020 13:18

That picture is the Zara one I was talking about, its exactly the same as the new look one

goteam · 08/08/2020 13:34

Thanks @clumsychump and @Budapestpest I will search on Ebay for the Zara one. It looks identical.

I was going to say take a look on ebay, I just brought a lovely zara shirt dress £ 25, in a med, dame thing is too small, zara sizing is so hit and miss, am reselling and looking for a large, do you find zara dresses come up small? I usually take a 10 or 12 in most shops.
