Does anyone remember Artigiano?

I am losing hope that I will ever have new clothes.
I am wearing my old Artigiano, old Jaeger, and a little Phase Eight. Then jeans and more jeans.
The quality of the clothing that I bought 10/15 years ago is far superior to anything I am trying now. It all seems clingy and see through.
I need a dress for 'going out' must be midi, and plainish, with sleeves. Proper midi, not knee length.
I am quite big boobed, so no high necks, but I can't fill a very low neck, cut for the larger breasted lady!
I am 5ft 10, size 14.
I think that although I am slightly over weight, I must have a small frame. There seems to be too much fabric! Just tried Alie Street London Heidi dress, which I thought was my style, but it swamped me.
I need clear strong colours. I have fair skin and black/grey hair - I look like Snow White. Her clothes would suit me. I don't want pre worn.
I don't have a budget, I like The Fold, but that is too expensive.
Can anyone help dress this freak of nature, please?
I am trying to laugh, but really I could cry. Many thanks in advance.

You might want to try looking at Finisterre or Rapanui (outdoorsy and not cheap, but good quality), also maybe Community Clothing, which is Toast-like. And maybe Mistral? I think their stuff can be hit and miss though.

HillyHoney.
I love Finisterre. I am outdoorsy, but have let my indoorsy slip!

Tryingtobewellbalanced - yes!
The first one is very me, and appears long enough. I will have a good google through tonight.

Has anyone had experience of Jonzara, please?
It looks like a good website, but I have never heard of it.

Plenty of Artigiano on Vinted.

Totally agree. I'm surprised there are any Artagiano clothes left of Ebay. I thought i'd bought them all!!! lol. I'm a traditional lady in late middle age. I'm just about to snap up some size 18 Artagiano Jeans on Ebay so hurry if you want to beat me to it lol
