My dress-to-be has be discontinued! HELP!

I found the perfect dress for my wedding last weekend in Debenhams. (I didn't want a traditional gown, its a summer wedding with just an intimate lunch with family so was looking for something summery but classy) But the was way to small and they only had one size left (it was a return from another store). However to my delight when I went online the dress was 50% off in the Debenhams sale that strarted today. My delight was shortlived when my size was OOS on the website, even the size that were in stock could not be ordered. So I called customer service and they said the dress has been discontinued and my size was OOS and that she could not search the stores for me or give me the tel number for the stores because the sales started today. Not very helpful CS.

Does anyine know if I can find this dress anywhere else? Is Debut exclusive to Debenhams?

Debut in Champagne floral jacquard cocktail dress in size 18 (16 at a squeeze!)

Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Thanks

    What a nightmare.

    Have you has a look on E-Bay? I'm afraid that's all I can think of at the minute. Hopefully someone will be along soon with better advice!

    Good luck!

    Thank you nat82. I have looked on E Bay and although they have some nice Debut dresses thay don't appear to have the one I am searching for. Must be one out there. Somewhere...

    Oh MrsAnnie!

    From looking at the website the Item number is 0080108311. Would you be able to phone the Debenhams near you and ask if they could see if they still have it, quoting that number?

    Keep an eye out on e-bay, if it's in a sale theres a fair chance it may end up on there.

    Debenhams only have one central number :mad: and the CS I spoke to said that they were not giving out individual store numbers because the sale had started. Will try again tomorrow, maybe I will speak to someone a little more willing to help. The nearest Debenhams is 28 miles away, so I wanted to be sure they (or another Debs) had the dress before I made the journey.
