Hi

I need a pretty, sassy, cute dress for the early summer. Help please.
I'd like a Carrie Bradshaw vibe, or something like the photo, but not necessarily as full on. If anyone can find me anything that fits the bill, I'll be grateful. I've been looking online for ages.

Mood Words: blossom, late spring, early summer, London, sassy, SATC,

Thanks

That's a very high end looking dress.
Whats your budget?

Have you looked at Chotronette? They have that kind of vibe

Silver, it doesn't need to be this high end, just something that looks a bit like it.

What's your budget OP?

MoltonSilver · 21/01/2021 15:26

Very few sizes left, but something like this?

The dress you've linked is very SATC but it's not very London. London is pretty casual.

Sqirrel, maybe £300 if it's really wow-ie. I know the picture is £££, but I'm just after something with that vibe. I don't mind buying second-hand either.

Molton, that's lovely, and on top of my list if I can't find anything closer. Thank you.

I know London is less showy than SATC, it's a special occasion though, so want to pull out all the stops.

Have a look at Frock and Frill, similar to needle & thread but not so expensive. Thete are some lovely, flowery, unique dresses, also tons of sequin dresses.

Grass, a wedding, but this is like a dress code. And if it doesn't go ahead this spring, it will some time. I want to be ready in case they spring a wedding date on us.
