Challenge! Can you find me something similar?...

[MimiThePink]

If anyone fancies a challenge I'm after something with the vibe of this Ganni "Cloqué" mini-dress but ideally cheaper and with next-day delivery 😁

It doesn't have to be textured and the sleeves don't have to be so massive, and I wouldn't mind if it was a bit more waisted - so with the skirt flaring out a bit more than the Ganni one. But ideally I fancy a black minidress with a round neck, puff sleeves and pockets...by tomorrow...for less than £80, in a size 12...anyone?!...

Sister Jane

does a lot of that sort of style. And you may find one in their sale. For tomorrow - J. Lewis stocks the brand; you’d probably need to run into a physical shop.

& Other Stories

may also have something similar-ish, but the fabric won’t be as good so it may be more … limp. Can’t really help with tomorrow, unless you go into a shop.

This one at Nobody’s Child?

This exists:

Sister Jane sale dress

but you’d have to find one in an M+ (or maybe L).

Gosh I wish I hadn’t seen this; I would look utterly ridiculous in it. And there’s probably too much white for your purposes. But gosh, it’s pretty …

I’ve actually just got your original dress (recommended by wearsmymoney!) and it is actually fabulous and totally worth the money. Definitely size up though if you get it, it’s very fitted!

Haha that's where I saw it too! I'm 50/50 on a lot of her suggestions but I'm in the market for something for a night out and thought of probably get some use put of something like that.

What size did you get, pls, and how does it correspond to your normal dress size? Tbh if they'd had it in 42 I might have chanced it!

I like this Stine Goya one too, but I'd like to see it on a person.

@JadedFilly thank you, I do like that one with the white collar! Not quite the vibe I'm after though. Not so sure about the one with the white puff sleeves - they're a bit pavlova-adjacent for me.

@FjordFancier I'd discounted that one because of the velvet (not quite versatile enough for me) but it's nice actually - thanks.

This is cute, from Sister Jane/Ghospell, but it's called Take Me To The Beach which possibly implies very thin/summery?!

I got a 34 - I’m usually a UK6 and pear shaped, and it’s very fitted round my hips but not so much at the top. In a shop I’d probably have tried the size up on for comparison but didn’t think to order two sizes…

I’d definitely size up if you are between sizes!

I cant link off the app, but h&M have this in stock in all sizes
