Currently swooning over most things in ME+EM. Why oh why does it have to be so nice but soooo expensive

ive been to the store in Manchester and do have a couple of items but I could literally buy so much more if only I could afford it

does anyone have any cheaper alternative that are just a gorgeous?

@Nanda66 so happy for you that you love the top! It’s lovely.

I hung it on the wardrobe door so I can keep looking at it!

SirEddaVey · 06/03/2026 18:26

It looks pretty but at least a size too big.

I think you could do with a size smaller @Tummytroublesagain1. Given that the menopause hasn’t stolen your waist you need to emphasise it.

Nanda66 · 06/03/2026 18:36

@Tummytroublesagain1I think the dress looks great, it’s a lovely dress. But I agree with others that you should try a size smaller, it does look big on you.

I love that dress op. I have it in white and it’s lovely and cool in the summer. I think you might need a smaller size though. The boob area looks a bit gapey. I would exchange for a smaller size and see how you get on. I follow ‘scotsstyleeditor’ on instagram and she has this dress. She’s a size 14 I think and she has styled it really nicely. If you check out her IG posts on 21st Feb you can see how she wears it and I think it should be a bit tighter than the size you have. Gorgeous dress!

I’ve just looked on her account and the dress does look amazing on her. I’ll try the smaller size and if I’m happier with it I think I’ll have it taken up just a little bit

OP- I agree with PP’s that it looks lovely but the fit might be better one size down. I always have to go a size down in their tops so imagine dresses are also generous.

As a fellow small person, I have to get almost all dresses I buy taken up. It’s the single thing that makes the biggest difference to how my clothes work.

I agree, although it’s not dragging on the floor it would look much better a bit shorter

My shirt also arrived today. Delighted with it. I ordered a size 12 as they were out of 10s and I’m a bit smaller on top than bottom but it’s a great fit. Sleeves perfect length. I think I’m going to wear it with some black palazzo trousers I have. Hopefully OK for a village hall party.

@ShamedBySiri it looks so lovely, the sleeves are the perfect length

I posted on this thread earlier about a cardigan I had seen on Vinted, wondering if it might be fake.
Well, who knew COS stocked the exact same one???
