Just before Christmas 2019 I was in John Lewis with a friend and her baby who was having his witching hour so we had to leave. Just before we did I had clicked the most amazing dress.

It was a deep night time blue, full length with tiny gold stars and made me think of the Byron poem about the girl who walks in beauty like the night. It was the most wow dress I have seen.

I have no idea of the brand, but it has stayed in my head this long. I think it has a plunging neckline.

Anyone have any ideas?

I probably won't be able to afford it even if I do find it, but I'd like to know as it's playing on my mind.

Chicwish glory of love star printed dress in Navy?

theotherfossilsister · 19/04/2021 19:37

The Ted Baker one is sdimilar but didn't have the pattern on the bodice, just stars everywhere. Maybe it's one that got away

So so similar to the Whistles one but unless I'm misremembering then they were stars not spots and there was no peplum..I'm beginning to doubt myself now though and wonder if that is the one. I just felt sure it was stars.

Ah, that’s not my John Lewis, its store is too northern...

Losttheequipment · 19/04/2021 20:20

The Whistles one is lovely

Crazycrazylady · 19/04/2021 20:23

Has to be the whistles one!

Camdenish · 19/04/2021 20:24

Was it in this range? This was Whistles 2019 and is embroidered rather than printed. I think there were a few items in the range, including a dress.

So if you were with baby were you walking from the baby section through ladies to the bank of lifts on the left? You don't pass all that many brands that way as its quite a short walk.

Hobbs, Whistles, Ted Baker, hush, Damsel in a dress, are all there from memory. It's that kind of area, upper end trendy 30 and 40 somethings.

Much further to the right are the brands for slightly older, also Ralph Lauren etc and coats and you turn left just before underwear.

This is all from hazy memory!

these dresses are beautiful.. I am inspired ⭐️🎉

Camdenish · 19/04/2021 20:31

That’s the sort of JL knowledge we needed WeAreAll. Yay.

Defiantly41 · 19/04/2021 20:32

Could it be the Whistles or Hush dress from JL's 12 dresses of Christmas? www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/fashion-beauty/style-advice/a29700183/john-lewis-party-dresses/

It wasn’t either of these Temperley ones was it?

It won't be this as it is currently in stock but it's just pretty Grin

Reiss and French Connection and the JL own brand I think were also in that area

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 19/04/2021 21:20

Mango and Ted Baker are in that corner too. To the right in front of the escalators there’s Coast.
