I need your help (dress related) - Jenny found it!!!!

Purple Pixie, 15 August, 2011 at 15:52 Posted on Planning 0 22

This is a real long shot but I could really, really do with some help as I'm starting to get even more crackers than normal.

I tried a dress on in a shop yesterday but they wouldn't tell me the designer or the name of the dress. There are no pictures on their web-site. I'm 99% certain that it had Sophia Tolli written on the hanging up loops but I'm starting to question myself now. They only stock Sophia Tolli, Amanda Wyatt, Ian Stuart, Maggie Sottero, Alfred Angelo, Ellis and Justin Alexander!!! I've been through most of those web-sites and still can't find it ☹️

The dress is made from satin, is strapless and is full length with a chapel (or maybe slightly longer) length train. The top is the distinctive bit but it's hard to describe so bare with me. If you can imagine the top is covered in crystals, then there's a piece of satin (like a really wide ribbon) that starts at the top on one side, goes across the body and back again in a zig-zag, and at each point of this zig-zag there is a collection of crystals (they look a bit like brooches).

If anybody knows what this dress is it would make me extremely happy!

Thank you for taking the time to read,

PP x

This is it: (thanks again Jenny)

    I tried this Maggie Sottero one on as well and it's fairly similar in silhouette but the non-crystalled part on the top was much thinner and zig-zagged.

    That dress is beautiful! And I think I might actually prefer it!

    The difference with the one I'm looking for is that, where that one is all on one diagonal, this one crossed over the body.

    Sorry... I can't help with that, but why wouldn't they tell you the name or designer?! That sounds like a very odd policy!

    Thanks navychick but that's not it.

    I've been in a couple of shops now that wouldn't tell me. I would have taken more attention but she said that she'd write them down for me. I assumed this meant that she'd write them down on a piece of paper and give it to me. What she actually did was write them down and file them for if I went back in again.

    Can you just go back in and try them on again? seems odd, I had a few places that wrote down codes for me on a file, but also told me the numbers so I could browse pics etc as they didn't allow photos.

    Oh Jenny I bet that's it!!

    There's a place in Liverpool who hide the designers and changes all the names/codes also. I can't imagine why, unless they trying to make us believe they're somehow exclusive to their shop so we won't go elsewhere for a better deal
