[JustAnotherDayWorkingAtHome]

Sounds simple…for DD18 size 8….red, spaghetti strap, no cowl neck, midi length, no embellishments (eg lace or jewels or embroidery) budget £100…

she keeps showing me ones from sites where there is a no refund policy or from overseas…

Any suggestions I’m running out of ideas

Babyboo is an Aussie site. They are very well made and a good price. DD had the Isobel dress in a different colour for her sixth form prom last year. She is a size 6 and ordered the XS.

It is a bit tricky to return if you don’t like as you will only get store credit. But the brand is very popular for selling on Vinted/Depop. You could even try those to see if they have any for sale?

That is one brand she showed me!!!

I thought it might be. Those dresses are very popular with that age.

Are your concerns about returning? Lots of girls in DD’s year ordered from them last year and I didn’t hear about anyone being unhappy. The pictures are true to life, sizing is reliable, delivery timescale not too bad. It’s just returning that can be a bit of a headache.

I honestly believe you could find their dresses on Vinted/Depop; probably girls selling their prom dresses they have only worn once.

Orherwise have you tried Oh Polly, PLT?

There”s this dress from House of CB which is a UK brand but it’s over budget.

Zara has loads of option

That’s really nice @Rollergirl11 thanks. There was one of theirs discounted on
Selfridges website but she didn’t like neckline 😤

She likes the Zara one bottom left but it’s not available
