dark coloured fitted print jersey dress

Just that really- I can't find one, having made the stupid mistake of finding one I really like by ba&sh which is too pricey. I want a non layered, reasonably flattering fit that I can wear with cardies and chunky black boots in the autumn/winter.

This is the one I really like, would like something a fraction longer though:

this one is the best alternative so far (reluctant to settle for it as not dark coloured enough and has a frilled section at the bottom)

I have literally put in about 5 hours searching now, can anyone suggest makes/shops I may not have tried please?

Thankyou for going to the effort of finding that! it's a bit similar to a Nomads one I've seen. Ideally I'd like green or maybe even brown pattern with an autumny look, small flowers etc or geo pattern with a boho vibe. I'm not averse to a sheer sleeve or hem bit as that adds a bit more wafty look without layers/flounces!

Have you had a look at Joe Browns? They've got some lovely autumn/winter dresses in, but not sure they'd be dark enough for you? I love this one...https://www.joebrowns.co.uk/ophelia-jersey-dress-wf081

I have, InnerPlop- no luck there, or Urban Outfitters or Apricot- though Apricot add stock fairly frequently

Might be worth looking on Vinted, as it the type of thing I think Boden used to do

Did you notice the second link?
Brown with geo print!

BellaPommefritio · 30/08/2024 18:48

It doesn't link to a brown geo one for me? have looked on the site again -their autumn colours dress is quite nice but the sleeves are a bit flouncy

If I saw or see an item which is expensive but I want it, I try to work out how much I’ll wear it. A “cheaper” but must buy approx 2011/12ish mark H&M leather biker jacket came into this mark and it wasn’t hugely expensive but I had a Moschino biker leather jacket which I was scared to wear out in case I marked it - yes stupid I know! I’ve worn the H&M one loads!

BellaPommefritio · 30/08/2024 19:00

I do the same!and if I'd have been quicker off the mark I could have bought the ba&sh one, reasoning I would sell it on if I didn't get the wear out of it. The majority of my clothes are second hand, it's so rare I find something I like in a shop/online. But that ship has sailed as there are no 12s left grr!

I got a couple last year from Roman - not sure if you have looked there.

anibendod · 30/08/2024 21:41

I've gone from never having heard of Jolie Moi to spending a small fortune on work dresses on John Lewis in the space of an hour... I'm holding @Raera entirely to blame!!

@BellaPommefritio - I love the original one you posted and the paisley boden one. Hope you manage to find what you are looking for

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 30/08/2024 22:10

I’ve just bought a Jolie Moi dress. It’s so lovely. There were so many I liked.

Mumofoneandone · 30/08/2024 23:02

Worth raiding eBay - see some fabulous options there. I have ones from Joules, Seasalt and Mistral. At times, it's just lucky spots......

LadyLapsang · 31/08/2024 11:52

What is your budget and dress size?

Bluevelvetsofa · 31/08/2024 12:22

I love Jolie Moi dresses. Next have them and Debenhams too. Vim sure there are lots of outlets. Unless they’re in the sale, they’re beyond my price range, but they are lovely. I like Me+Em too, but that’s definitely too expensive.

bridgetreilly · 31/08/2024 16:29

Seasalt are surely full of this sort of thing?

NorthernSoul55 · 31/08/2024 19:50

There's a few on Lands End that might suit??20% off too----

BellaPommefritio · 31/08/2024 23:20

Thanks for all your suggestions-budget ideally approx £50 but would stretch for the right one. It seems to be tricky to get the length and the fittedness whilst looking more boho than sensible if that makes sense!

Renthorrorshow · 01/09/2024 13:24

Goodness OP what a gorgeous dress.

Slightly more boho-ey dress here (though still more like the other suggestions than the actual original dress!)
