Please can you help me find this Lipsy dress?

Yesterday I found the perfect dress for Christmas. It was in a Next outlet shop but they only had one and it was a size 10. Sadly I'm not!!!

I need a dress which is long sleeved (I can't be fluffed faffing about with cardis, blazers or whatever), and it needs to be accessible for breastfeeding.

I've only got this one photo and sadly it's too blurry when I zoom in on the tag. I've Googled and can find a very similar Lipsy dress in the Abbey Clancey range BUT it's quite a lot shorter than the one in my pic which I definitely don't want.

Any pointers appreciated!

Thank you. That one is shorter I think.

I nipped into Quiz to look at the dress mentioned earlier in the thread. It I'd similar in style to the Lipsy dress but feels cheap in comparison. The sleeves on the Quiz dress are also shorter. I don't mind short sleeves or long sleeves but anything in between like 3/4 irritate me as I find myself continually pulling them down.

Pic is of the Quiz dress.

Please can you help me find this Lipsy dress?

Also, the Quiz dress has a tie at the waste and whilst it would accentuate some ladies' figures, on me it would look dressing gown-y. I have an odd shaped body and it's tiring knowing how to dress it appropriately for my age 😵‍💫

@Laurdo the Boohoo one looks lovely. I've just looked at it on their website but the sleeves don't look full length I don't think. The other one is too long in the skirt. Thank you though, I appreciate you looking!

@Squiff70 just because it's an Outlet store doesn't mean Next don't know exactly what stock that and every other Outlet branch has. I'm not saying they'll tell you because I have no experience of that but I wouldn't just assume they won't just because it's an Outlet store - they still want to sell all stock as quickly as possible for as much as possible.

Update: I found the exact same dress in my size on Vinted, described as new without tags. It was £7 plus a bit extra for P&P so I snapped it up! Hope it fits and looks okay 🙃

Thank you everyone so much for your contributions to this thread and for helping me!

Great! I love Vinted and often find exactly what I want there. What a bargain!
