Somebody on here recommended this dress yesterday, I bought it today and it's brilliant. Lovely material, fits and skims beautifully, I adore it. If you were the recommender, thank you, I love it!

I've just bloody bought it...and a few other 'bits'. Damn you (and wine)! 😂

I’ve just bought it too!!!
Sz 16 here so hoping it’s as flattering as you make out 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻

Someone on s&b was recommending Joe Brown a couple of days ago and i ended up getting this

which, although slightly on the long-side for me, is lovely and wafty and flattering and really suits me. So nice when you find a dress that does what it says on the tin.

It does look nice. Shame it's sold out online in almost every size. Wonder if it's worth the effort of going to an actual shop 🤔

Xmas1Xmas2Xmas3 · 18/06/2022 07:14

Does it have pockets? I won't buy stuff without pockets! Love it otherwise.

VonTrippTrapp · 18/06/2022 07:17

Oh very nice op! I've spent more than I'd like to think about due to the S&B board over the years 😫😂

Are you busty? I always feel like I can’t do shirred across my bust because it stretches too much.

artisanbread · 18/06/2022 07:25

MNers seem to have snapped them all up now!

Nope, not busty, but I think it would still work!

No pockets, but it's still really lovely, you'd be missing out!

Go and have a look! We could only find one that was too big and I was gutted, but then my darling little DD(8) shouted 'look Mummy! There it is!' And we came across the right one shoved in a random rail! Hurrah!

Just to add, I have the black one, there's still a couple of sizes left!

Is this an advert for M and S. Very clever if it is.

TokyoSushi · 18/06/2022 08:24

Not at all, I'm a PA at a pharmaceutical company! Grin

How tall are you ? Only medium online now ,wondering how long it is

Iamacatslave · 18/06/2022 08:55

It has sold out in all sizes.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/06/2022 08:57

I'd want it to be cotton for a summer dress though.

EvilPea · 18/06/2022 08:59

I bought some work heels from m and s a few weeks back.
really really nice and reasonable as well (I’ve got a primark budget).

they aren’t finally getting it are they

Queenie24 · 18/06/2022 09:03

Gutted just gone to have a look as need a few long dresses for work and it’s sold out online in a 16 and no stores locally have it ☹️

I will keep looking on here at suggestions 😀

I like the comfortable mess and also that the straps are really pretty so adds a bit of interest to an otherwise plain dress.

5 ft 5, I'd say it's more maxi than midi on me

I'm too big in the bust, my upper arms are too flabby, and I'm too short for that dress 🙁

I agree, it is a nice dress though, and that's my colour.
