Help me find a dress!

[IntermittentParps]

I love this from Me + Em www.meandem.com/ponte-fit-flare-maxi-dress-navy-white but it's beyond my means.

Does anyone know of anything similar for less £££?
What I like is the half-length sleeves, the slightly stand-up neckline (as opposed to a round/curved/V-neck) and the overall simple non-flouncy style.
TIA!

Oh it's lovely!

Could you scrimp and save and buy it? If I didn't have ENORMOUS norks, I think I'd be tempted.

Saw this at Cos, but it doesn't have the right collar / neckline

TBH I could just buy it, but I had to dip heavily into my savings recently as I hadn't put aside enough for tax (I know, I know), so am feeling like I should be a bit careful and try to build them up again rather than spend on clobber...
I like that Cos one, although I have a couple of shirt-style knee-length and midi dresses already so can't really justify it.

Just buy it. If you love it it will be worth it because it looks pretty versatile

I've been saying that to myself. Just talking myself into it

I think with dresses like that the fact is there will not be anything similar but cheaper out there. If it was a navy jumper or whatever then you could get something cheaper but a statement dress is worth it if you'll wear it forever (fingers crossed not gaining or losing too much weight etc!)

I hadn't really thought it was a statement, but you may be right My weight seems to stay pretty stable, so I'm not worried about that.
