I have fallen in love with the dress below, its perfect for an occasion I have coming up soon and very much my style so I would wear it again and again but they only have a size 14 and I would need an 8:( Has anyone seen a dress similar to this elsewhere? thanks for any advice:)

    I put this in my basket earlier in the 14 as I thought I could wear a belt around the middle and get away with the 14 as a very loose dress, I just went back to order it and they have taken it out of my basket and now its out of stock:rotfl:I think the 14 would of been a step too far but I would of liked the chance to try, oh well perhaps someone can help on here...

    Whenever I used to want something from littlewoods or very last year and it was out of stock I would normally check in the morning about 8 and they would normally update there stock levels
    Hope this helps

    I'll keep an eye on it then, I've been looking around and cant find anything I like as much as this, hopefully they'll get smaller sizes in too - thanks for the advice:)

    Have you checked their other catalogues - Littlewoods are the same company as Littlewoods Direct, Very, Kays, Isme and a few others I can't remember offhand. They often sell the same products but think the stock levels can be different.

    Have a search on ebay for 'vintage Maxi Dress' or any variation. This dress (or something very similar) came up when I included 'sequin' in that description, but think it was in a plus size section from SimplyBe.

    Do you have a link? It would appear that I'm rubbish at searching on ebay and came up with nothing that was even similar, thanks for taking the trouble to do this:T

    Huge thanks to the other posters as well:T, I am now like a mad woman monitoring the other sites too and I left a stroppy message on the Very fb page complaining about them taking products out of baskets:)
