Want a long hippy dress

38 replies

Been looking for ages for a dress that I like. I have a picture of-
Long, to mid calf or ankles.
Empire line type
Non iron [is that too much wishful thinking]
Could be a pinafore or
Sleeveless

Would like it to be fitted on bodice/bust bit. Nothing too droopy or voluminous. Next had a goodish version in the summer with a ruched bustline bit and I should have bought it but waited for sale and it wasnt in the sale.Saw someone in a denim pinafore that would fit the bill but crapped out of asking her where she got it from.
I am a size 10. Am I mad though?

ok, this is a bit off the wall (more gothic than hippy but there are some hippier things further down the page and on the other dresses page)

Probably not your thing but might be worth a look.

ooooohhh lovely thumbElf!

Not quite. I'm thinking much more earth mother,birkenstocks, clogs,lentil weaver than sex on legs goth.

Nomads or Namaste are more'hippy' earthmother types, some items are quite colourful which is good for brightening up the day!!

Yes I had a look. Nothing I fancied but good to remember.

ah g'wan, you know you want to really!

I was always drawn to the dark side but must fulfil my destiny first and greet the sun at midsummer in my navy arizona birkies and hippy dress. It is an urge I need to sate. Have no idea where this is comong from but you know what it's like when you get a vision in your head. Actually what usually happens is that I cannot find it and revert back to jeans and T combo. Sigh

ok, try this instead - might be more what you're after, except no sleeves

I really like that one. The price is great too.

another ebay possibility? in case you haven't ordered

MrsSeanBean · 24/12/2008 10:53

Oops sorry, just read that you had ordered!! Sorry. Never mind you might want another. Will post again if I spot a denim pinafore!
