Mumsnet are solid when it comes to clothes shopping. Someone always knows where to look.
I want to buy a dress. What I want is quite specific and I am running out of places to try. If I list a few of the brands I like and have looked at, some of you might know of others I haven’t come across before.

I like Anthropologie, Sezane, East, Monsoon, Nomads, Seasalt, Boden…you get the schizzle.
I want a dressy but casual dress. Something boho I guess…but elegant for a party. Something knee length or just above. No midi, no maxi, no mini please. Something I can lounge and dance in and be comfortable. I can’t deal with fussy clothes you have to stand up straight in.

I want a party dress I can roll out when the rare need arises. I have a couple of bashes coming up and a big Christmas do to attend. I want a dress to suit all.
Moon on a stick? Seems like it.

If anyone can link to websites they know of, please do.
Thank you.

Depending on budget also check out Zimmerman - there’s usually a good selection on the Outnet which could meet your brief.

Yeah 5ft 4…short legs, long back. I can’t wear midi dresses…they turn my legs to stumps.

I love this one - don’t think it would be too short:

Yes that’s gorgeous. I think it would be too short for me so out of my comfort zone. I haven’t got the thighs for a mini.

Ok so this is not boho but I think relaxed and could be an absolute workhorse of a dress and is a non committed length Grin :

It’s also something of a blank canvas so you could accessorise into your specific look.
