Can anyone find a dress like this?

Anna Friel

I like the shape, low neck, fitted waist, tulip skirt, although maybe not quite those sleeves. I am having trouble adjusting to the sleeves in circulation nowadays, a very short time ago we all hated the, didn't we?

thanks, I do like the spots and the colour, but it's the shape more really- I'd love t find all together, but would settle for the shape!

I think both of those New Look ones are too short for me

maybe try coast,

NorkilyChallenged · 04/02/2010 17:54

This one is as close to the shape as I can find.

I have that dress - it's from Topshop

I altered the sleeves so they're less puffy/ridiculous!

Sadly I think it's already sold out both online/instore but here's the line number and you can search for it that way:

10S35W colour BLE

Hope this helps.

scroll down a bit on here there are a few of similar shape and some where you can choose fabric

sansucre, it'll have to be an ebay hunt then I guess. Is it Topshop make or a concession?

I actually think it may be a bit short anyway, I would really prefer one which comes to a bit above my knees, and I am quite tall.

Ooh I like that a lot. Have you looked at Warehouse? They sometimes have good slightly quirky dresses (and better fabrics than Topshop on the whole).

tethersend · 04/02/2010 22:29

Anything here?

sansucre · 04/02/2010 22:58

It's Topshop's own label and not a concession.

I'm 5"5 and the dress is mid-thigh, which is a tad too short for my taste, so if you're taller, it might not be good.

The cut of it is really very odd and am sure there are better dresses out there. It cost £45 and not really worth the money if I'm honest, and I only got it because I was exchanging something without a receipt and it was the only thing I vaguely liked. Plus I have a thing for polka dot dresses.

Good luck with finding something, am positive you'll find something even nicer

What size are you? Its here on ebay in a 14!

wolfnipplechips · 05/02/2010 19:46

whistles swallow print dress is really nice on its too big on the model imo but hides a multitude in the tummy area. 2nd from left in pic.

wolfnipplechips · 05/02/2010 19:48

sorry that link came up different to the original if you click on dresses its the last on the top row of dresses.

SandyChick · 05/02/2010 20:01

This

PoppityPing · 06/02/2010 15:23

Thanks again sans, I think it would be too short then sadly as I am 5'10"

Crumpet I am watching that ebay dress now although I am 10/12, but that may make it hang longer...so not sure really...and the cheeky sods have upped the price!!

Wolf I love lots of those whistles dresses, they lok like they might be a bit longer too? What length is it on you (and how tall are you?)

Sandy that sundae dress is lovely too, thanks.

PoppityPing · 06/02/2010 15:24

Oops! It's excuseme btw, I was trialing a name change, but decided against it
