Help to find a dress

DD wants this dress but it is too expensive and she can't try it on and sent back if it doesn't fit... she has looked for dupes and can't find anything... has anyone seen anything like it anywhere else?

Again - more baby pink than hot pink...

Also on Vinted size 6

Wow - thanks so many to go through... I will get through them with her. She is wanting it for a specific event (she is 22 and works so she is buying it for herself).

yes she saw Hannah Lowther wearing it - but they're custom made which is why she can't return it.

I've had a quick look and it doesn't look like the Lulu dress is on any of the rental sites, but the black stars dress in same style is, and so are a lot of other dresses from the same designer, if renting is an option? There are loads of rental sites including John Lewis

thank you

I like the retro 50s ones but they're more me than her
I also like the 40s style silk ones - but they're not flared enough for her
She wants the fitted top, puffy sleeves and tiered skirt

She also wants something a but more upmarket than Shein or Pretty Little Thing because of the event it is (she wears plenty of that the rest of the time).

Rental is a good thought though - can investigate that

There were a couple I missed out as I assumed we were looking for something much cheaper but adding now in case of interest...

Similar vibes but rental

WinterFoxes · 20/02/2023 22:37

This one is bright pink has puffed sleeves and ruched hem but more delicate fabric.

Filthycop · 20/02/2023 22:39

The forever unique one is close but he doesn't like the fabric

she says the Oasis on isn't fitted enough....

arrrgh

thanks for looking everyone

She needs to do a reverse image search because there are loads of options coming up. These 2 are via Ali Express so quality may be variable but you can find good dupes there.

Emmelina · 20/02/2023 23:20

Very similar at Oasis

NatashaDancing · 21/02/2023 00:19

MrsFrisbyMouse · 20/02/2023 22:17

Well done. ! That one's the nicest by miles. I expected the price to be double what it is.

I think they're being economical with the actualité there to avoid complying with distance selling regulations. There's the option to customise or not. They have dresses which are sold out, so clearly a stock of dresses not being made to order, but it's not worth risking it and getting into an argument.

I hope she finds a copy.

IrritableCowSyndrome · 21/02/2023 00:47

Is it the style or the colour she particularly wants, or both?

Filthycop · 21/02/2023 08:44

Wow thanks - more options...

@NatashaDancing - she is interested in the colour AND the style - the big puffy sleeves and the skirt -all in the stiffer fabric that sticks put a bit. DD is 10 or 12 depending on cut nd brand etc.

the Oasis one is nice and that may have to do - but she said that's a bit less 'dressy' than she would have liked.

She is going to investigate rental places today as that was something she hadn't thought of -

this is Hannah Lowther wearing it

Not the same neckline, but the back is interesting
