I foolishly had a wobble and didn't buy the dress and it's now sold out everywhere (I can see) in my size 16/18.

Does anyone have any other ideas for tracking it down. It's a Monsoon bridal dress. Camilla

OR something similar.

Many thanks

What a night not to be online, I'm off to JL 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@ChocoChocoLatte

Have you snapped it up? Be quick!

By the way, I see that the John Lewis website is saying Online Only, so would assume it's not in their stores.

ChocoChocoLatte · 25/01/2024 10:12

Will be here in 3-5 working business days 🙌🏻

Great. So pleased it came back in to stock.

mycatismyworld · 25/01/2024 12:46

I'm going to be honest and say I think it's a very unflattering dress regardless of shape or size. Those sleeves would drive me insane, and would be scared of them dragging in my dinner. I have never been married nor will be but there are so many lovely dresses out there . Perhaps it being sold out is a blessing in disguise.

ChocoChocoLatte · 25/01/2024 12:50

@mycatismyworld thanks for that cracking input.......

OP simply wanted help finding her chosen dress and your personal taste or what you find comfortable (‘honest’ly) isn’t relevant … and if you read the OPs updates you’d know it’s en route

MerCatsSpawScience · 25/01/2024 12:56

I'm sooo glad you found the dress!
I honestly think its beautiful, ignore the not so lovely comments and don't let them take away from the dress if you love it.
Invested for an update if it fits/suits

ChocoChocoLatte · 25/01/2024 13:01

@MerCatsSpawScience @Blueink thank you both. As I mentioned somewhere on the thread, I have some physical issues this dress will hopefully help to disguise and make me feel a little less shrek and more Princess Fiona lol

The op wasn't asking for opinions on the dress, she was just trying to find it in stock.

You sound rude and your honesty is not required.

It's a gorgeous dress and I hope that it fits well when it arrives.
