Hi,
My daughter wants a dress like this for her prom (well, she actually wants this dress but I don't want to order internationally ideally and this site doesn't offer returns). Any help very gratefully received!

Thank you, that's kind of you to look. The Windsor Store are US-based so returns are expensive (£18). I will look into the Amazon dress.

I know Shein has a bad reputation but it's very affordable and has free returns

Thanks everyone. I will check out the dresses. The colour is a bit of a red herring - it's the style she likes best rather than the colour. Ideally she wants a navy dress but she likes the shape of the Lucy in the Sky dress.

Thank you! That's really nice but again, it comes from America (and made in China), which means high costs for returns and long waits for shipping. It seems impossible to find something despatched from the UK now 😣

Actually, the returns cost isn't too bad from this site compared to some.

Thank you, but she won't like the bling on the straps 😔

Size 8. So far, the one she likes the look of the best out of all the kind suggestions is the Azazie dress. It's still a US brand but at least the returns look a bit more reliable than the original dress.

Filter those John Lewis ones by evening.

This was actually the dress she wanted before the Lucy dress and I said 'no' because the Trust Pilot reviews are awful, so in terms of her taste, you are spot on, but unfortunately I'm not risking it! I don't think they offer refunds - just a credit note. Thank you though!
