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

Not much help but I got a lovely Zara one last summer for holidays. The spots are smaller though. Might be on Vinted now a year had passed www.redonline.co.uk/fashion/fashion-news/a64713077/zara-polka-dot-dress/

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

If you like it otherwise, and are capable of sewing / alterations, could you buy two and cannibalise one of them to make straps? I couldn’t but if you have dress making skills? Or a little jacket in the same fabric? The dress is only £15.

Yeah if I can’t find anything else I may well do this

I think @TallagallaPenguin’s idea may be what I end up doing. Buying two and using the skirt to make straps and some shorts, or to make a bodice

I’ve seen it appear a few times must get snapped up quickly - worth setting up an alert
