That is similar to this one?! I love this but it’s out of stock everywhere. I’ve tried Vinted and there’s nothing! I’m a size 19

What is a size 19? Surely you’re an 18 or a 20?

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 01/06/2026 10:59

Other stories have one.

Different shape though

TBH, the Stories one is nothing like yours.

Dorry.

I’ve just looked and it’s nice but I think the skirt would cling a bit to my belly which is a no for me

Sorry I can't help with where to find it, just wanted to say it is giving off Pretty Woman vibes. 😍

YES that’s why I love it 🤣 to be honest I do feel like I could make it, but I can’t find the fabric anywhere!

I've just had a look at that as it's gorgeous, but 18 is out of stock.

alternatively if anyone knows where I can get brown polka dot cotton poplin I could make it myself, but everything seems to be satin!

Sadly it’s not quite what I’m after

Why is it polka dots are everywhere except where I need them 😢

Minerva have some fabric options. Would this be a possibility?

I've just got this from H&M (they do a brown polka dot one) - not sure on their sizes but I'm a 12 and ordered a M which fit? Women's Light yellow/Floral Smocked strappy dress | H&M GB

The spaghetti straps are probably a little too thin for me!
