Help me find a full length dress less than £100

[Leah2005]

Just that really. I need a full length dress for nye, size 16 petite length preferably. I don't want anything floaty, much prefer quite structured. Don't like the top of my arms so something with short sleeves would be good. I am 34gg so can't do off the shoulder as strapless bras really don't cut it for me. Solid colour, black, navy, green etc. Any ideas please? Think I've left it too late 😏

Why would it be too late. You have more than two months!

@Era because the dresses I have found are sold out in my size

But you have months to go. New things will come into stock

How about this?

Sigh- if I could work out how to link it!

TK Maxx and Quiz are normally great for long evening dresses at a reasonable price. Quiz normally has a better range online but TK Maxx is usually better in store.

I recommend Love London!

Also keep an eye on second hand - this is the kind of thing that is only worn once or twice.

How about this?

Try ebay - check the measurements carefully and ask for them if they aren't supplied. You ought to be able to buy something from a decent brand for £30 -50 which would leave you a bit in budget to get it taken up

For example this one

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354335342867?hash=item5280084113%3Ag%3ApeQAAOSweMhjSsJx&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoLaBeeV%2BeZBRbU3qqT%2BXXYwcOMw2ZpLXh13r0kAWn1165%2F6FPq7JKpx8KF0Bhla3hsTHShuaf0jpmHQ%2BMvO8RHQt8Py9wDdaBbKWIxsy2KRHv7M%2FxaDnrJxXNFyW%2Fi85p5h%2FWNrVOgr%2Fr20l8NyZwlo09dIofqMBJnc3vwSmPKiVvWFO7d4jGL86qO45tvl2VqY5LxJOa3x9VNMLYP07hS0%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-LKw7L_YA&LH_ItemCondition=3000

@Era I thought if it was out if stock that would be it but perhaps I just need to keep checking then. @sunlovingcriminal I like a few of their dresses but they don't have good feedback if you Google them so was a bit wary to order. @Whataretheodds @londonmummy1966 I do keep checking but nothing is coming up that I like. I think I'm just panicking! @lovetosup lovely but not the formal look I'm after. @JustFrustrated off to Google love London - thanks

All Saints parachute dress. Doesn't have sleeves though.

Quiz has loads - www.quizclothing.co.uk/clothes/dresses/le:maxi/

I rent a lot ! It's completely changed in the last few years and you can get some beautiful stuff. Have you considered that ?

Have a look here www.jjshouse.co.uk/Cheap-Special-Occasion-Dresses-c3/?banner=S1-Homepage-SpecialOccasionDresses001

And look for Lavish Alice sale items lavishalice.com/collections/dresses

Just had this issue myself boohoo type in cocktail dresses very reasonable

Most store will stock full length for Christmas/New Year parties so not usually until after Hallowe'en. What you see as sold out is probably last season's stock

In the meantime something like this?

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/little-mistress-sequin-fishtail-maxi-dress-navy/p109439473?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

Found a wonderful full length sequinned number on Vinted for £10 plus postage. There are loads of formal dresses on there.

Comes in several colors. I find their clothes decently sized in the bust.

Have a look on Next too - they have a good range of brands in different sizes including petite. Dresses seem to come in and out of stock so worth following if there’s anything that catches your eye.

I have a version of this and it’s so flattering! www.scarlettandjo.com/collections/occasionwear/products/navy-velvet-maxi-bodycon-dress?variant=41347593175087 - I have the non velvet sparkly one.

@absolutelyknackeredcow I have definitely thought about renting but think options would be limited because I'm only 5ft tall so no idea where to go

By rotation have a huge range - and you could search for petite styles. For that budget could get something lovely. John Lewis has just started rental too
I'm really tall so have a subscription with LK Bennett which delivers me rentals all the time.
I know their shape suits me and I have a minimum of one 'evening event ' a week for work 😩

Just searched vinted and you might get lucky - dresses, occasion, evening. 16
