Love this Ghost dress but it's over budget

149 replies

Looking for a dress to wear to a wedding.
I love this Ghost dress but it's about £100 over budget.

Has anyone seen anything similar, or can suggest what shops to look in?

I like the second link best

Have you got a Ghost outlet near you? I was in one in the Ashford outlet a few days ago, and they had that several colours of that dress on display for about £100.

Thanks a lot OP, now I too will covet this dress until the end of wedding season!

If you don't mind a pattern, then Boden has this on offer:

For a more subdued pattern (but not on sale), there's this:

Okay having clicked on the link, it’s not massively over budget, so find a way to buy it? If the one on Vinted is the right size and looks in good condition, snap it up!

The thing is, £100 can’t buy anything half-decent anymore, that’s the reality. So you either have to wait for sales or buy second-hand.

Usernamen · 03/04/2023 20:39

I’m not sure the OP is going to find a similar dress to the one she wants on BooHoo tbh.

It's over budget! That doesn't mean "I don't have the extra £100 in my bank this month", she may well have the cash, it means "that's £100 more than I have budgeted and want to spend on a dress".

You understand this is exactly why credit cards, store cards and things like Klarna get a bad name?! You're not meant to use them to buy things you can't afford!

Lovely dress OP, I think Hobbs had some similar a couple of years ago I had no need for but kept lingering over.

Ghost have an outlet shop at Ashford designer outlet. Potentially more. You may get lucky… I have bought similar there before. The quality is second to none

I have an almost identical one from Oysho. Try ebay or Vinted....bought in store about 9 months ago.

Do you have this dress? It says it's one size 8-28. That's got to be some sort of magic fabric. I am on the lower end of that range so reckon it would have masses of fabric or hang really heavily.

Thank you. I'm not very good at Ebay or Vinted, but I should have a look around really.

Thank you, but I don't like the sleeves on this. I can see me catching them on something or just annoying me!

The Vinted one isn't the right size for me.

Loads of links to look at, thank you so much.

nb it doesn't have to be green! I look better in darker colours I think.

I am fussy it seems though.

Ghost have an outlet store at McArthur Glen I. ashford Kent, don’t know if that’s any good for you. Also don’t know what their price will be but you can always call to see if they have it.
