Midi length, navy with a white floral pattern, a contrasting wide border at the bottom in a pink and blue ditsy print. The sleeves and a binding around the neckline were also in the ditsy print. Neckline was square and the sleeves were not puffy or elasticated.
Hopefully cotton, probably viscose.
I spotted it on someone in a cafe this morning and it looked nice and cool and just what I need.
Looked like Monsoon or M&S level of quality but I can’t see it in either online.
Thank you.

That'll be a hard one to find!Next time ask😀
This company does that style of dress that I think you're describing

I would normally ask but it looked like she was in a work meeting and deep in conversation. Gutted I didn’t tbh!

Nothing quite right on the Sugarhill site but thanks as I wouldn't have thought to look there. I just liked the way it was cut around the neck and shoulders - no flounciness or puffed sleeves as they do nothing for me.

Trying to picture it in my mind. Is it similar in any way to this- www.next.co.uk/style/ls167071/p76459#p76459?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organicshopping

Not printed but looks cool www.johnlewis.com/boden-jersey-embroidered-midi-dress-navy/p6249863

SHEIN and ROTITA have some amazing dresses right now.

BestIsWest · 10/08/2022 15:18

Not like the Next or Roman ones Most similar to the Boden I think. It was long and floaty and a bit boho. It’s not Boden, I’ve looked on there.
It’s probably last years.
I should have asked.

You might find that sort of style here as well

Good luck with the search!

littlestowl · 10/08/2022 15:33

If you find it OP please let us know - I’m struggling to find dresses that aren’t puffy/elastic aged sleeves or loads of material

JaneJeffer · 10/08/2022 15:35

Sounds like this Monsoon one but with different neckline

Help me find this dress please.
Chooksnroses · 10/08/2022 15:39

It sounds like the Mandalay range at Debenhams

Chooksnroses · 10/08/2022 15:40

Sorry, Mantarey at Debenhams

wishingchair1 · 10/08/2022 15:42

Can you not call the shop up and ask?

Buythebag40 · 10/08/2022 15:42

Try Aspiga - that Boden one looks very like their style and their dresses are lovely and made from ethical materials.

BestIsWest · 10/08/2022 15:42

I’ve attempted to draw it. The fabrics are two different cottony looking ones.

ignore me, it was someone wearing it.

BestIsWest · 10/08/2022 15:43

Ooh, East is a good call. I thought they had disappeared. Mantaray too. That sort of thing.

TokyoSushi · 10/08/2022 15:44

Oh it looks lovely! Watching in case we find it!

BestIsWest · 10/08/2022 15:46

It’s not Aspiga either though along similar lines. They do have nice stuff, I shall browse some more.

Chooksnroses · 10/08/2022 15:53

Joe Brown?

Buythebag40 · 10/08/2022 15:54

I know it's not the one but this from Pink City Prints is similar and gorgeous.

Help me find this dress please.
BestIsWest · 10/08/2022 15:59

That is gorgeous @Buythebag40 . I love this one on East too - similar in feel though it was blues and pinks and square neck so nothing like really!
