Help me find something like this please…

[DollyPinkDaydream]

Hive mind please can you help me find something similar to the below please for a size 12, 5’ 7’ 47 year old who still likes to try and look a bit trendy, but spends a lot of her time in floaty (sometimes frumpy) dresses and flats? Ideally should cover upper arms and hide the mum tum.

I want something that I can wear with some sparkly flats as I love heels but just can’t be bothered to totter around in them anymore. Really loved the material of the dress, but the dress was poorly finished and was v gappy at the front…so want to try and find a similar style maxi in those sort of tones.

Fingers crossed 🤞

@Britpopbaby Thanks. The second one defo fits the brief so I’ve ordered it to try 😃. I absolutely loved the material of the Never Fully Dressed one with its different pastels and have noticed in the web pics the model is wearing it back to front - clearly the gapping wasn’t only a problem mere mortals suffered! I am really tempted to return to the shop and try this out, but then that won’t solve the rubbish hemming and my bum is nowhere near as flat as the models so wearing a dress the wrong way round might likely pull all the shaping out!

I would be surprised if you could find significantly better quality and a stylish design for less than the cost of the NC dress. Poor finishing is so off-putting though - I won’t even suggest getting it altered, as that would be throwing good money after bad.

I wouldn’t know where to find an exact equivalent, but two places spring to mind that might have dresses that appeal to you:

Realisation All 100% silk so a dream to wear.

Me and Em Mostly the same slouchy shape as the NC dress.

I’ve also seen this Jigsaw one that I quite like too, but seems to be out of stock everywhere…Anything similar to this would also work I think.
