Help me find a UK version of this dress please!

[olivelime]

I found a dress today that I really love, but it's an American brand and won't arrive in time for when I need it.

I want to find a similar shape - not too poufy and milkmaidy - and ideally blue. Planning on wearing it to the Chelsea Flower Show, probably with a navy Jigsaw blazer and brown Hobbs mules that I already own. They were from vinted and a charity shop so willing to splash out a bit more on the dress.

Has anyone seen anything similar? Closest I've found is a gingham one from Nobody's Child but that's only available in red in my size. Not sure that red would look good on me!

Help

Apologise if none of these are remotely what you're looking for but they're all I could find (& sorry for the huge links!!).

A couple of years ago I bought a similar style dress from Matalan. Obviously the price point was quite different so the quality is not going to be on par but it has the shirred, sleeveless top with a similar skirt (although a little less structured), plus it's blue (& white).
They may have something similar this year.
Or, there are a few on Vinted. I have no idea what size you're after & you have to use your imagination as the styling is minimal 😅, but here's a link to it (not mine, just one I found on Vinted as an example)

Zara has this one buy the bodice part is much longer:

OMG I didn't realise we had Reformation in the UK now, I'm so behind the times! I'm going to have a good scour of their site.

Thank you so much for all the links - some lovely dresses but not quite right. I'm petite so drop waists are a no for me.

If all else fails I might just wear a dress I have and put the money towards a nice bag instead ;)

Day Dresses might have something. They're in UK

Or Pink City Prints

Some nice dresses in Ro &Zo this one us similar but there’s actual shirred fronts like your one albeit not in blue too

Hillhouse is now stocked in the UK

It’s in Liberty’s. Love the brand and have shopped there for years even when needing to order from the US.

Kate Barton have a sleeveless pintuck in blue gingham that might do.

These are on the expensive side, but you might be able to find one on sale or vinted - Doen do quite a few that might suit

Looks like something you could find in Anthropologie.

Why don't you do a Google lens on it and it will show you everything that is visually similar to the dress. You'll have a better chance of finding one in the UK then. I've got an android phone but assuming Apple have something similar if you have an iPhone.

I think this is absolutely stunning and - in my opinion- even better than original dress 🫣

elengza dress from Shein
very similar and blue IMO prettier material
I have no idea how to attach a picture price approx £23
