    Hi

    I am after exactly the same for my bridesmaid, and i too didn't really want to spend any more than about £60 as on a strict budget. Don't want to alarm you but i didn't have much luck with the dusky pink, i ended up ordering one from missguided but its not really dusky pink, its darker, its called the harriet maxi dress. Its absolutely gorgeous and me and my bridesmaid love the picture, but it hasn't arrived yet so i cannot comment on what it looks like in real life yet. It comes in the pink colour i have gone for and also what they call "blush" which looks more peachy/nude to me, have a look and see what you think.

    I'm wanting exactly the same thing...hoping new releases will be in the shops after Christmas. I've been quoted £225.00 per dress to have one made to measure which is way more than I am prepared to pay, so will keep an eye on this thread and post if I find anything.

    I have fallen in love with these dresses but my BMs who are my daughters want a long dress...never done as they are told ..lol

    Emmie Lou you are a star - that dress in the peachy colour is exactly what I'm after!! And only £38!

    When are yours due to arrive? I want to buy them now in case they go but would be good to hear a review first!

    Hi,

    I have what sounds like exactly what you have described. I was a bridesmaid last year and wore it for the day. I would be more than happy to sell it if it is of any use. It is a size 14/16 but has masses fo potential to be taken in or out as necessary as it is a strapless bodice and a-line skirt.

    Htanks for all your help Smiley smile

    ive actually ordered the harriet maxi dress in berry , however i might see i can find that h&m one in a local store aswell.

    cant believe how cheap they are because i had bought material and a pattern to makre the aqua one and that cost about £40 anyway

    Sorry to hear it's not what you wanted! I really love the dress though and am thinking of ordering the Blush one for my bridesmaids. Other than the colour, were the dresses ok, material nice, good quality etc? Thanks!!

    Do you think that perhaps the blush and beige may actually be darker than they look on screen, if the berry is much darker could it be they dont photograph the colour so well? Maybe the blush/beige may be more what you are after? Are you able to return for different colour?

    Hi all

    I have been searching for long dusky pink dresses for ages and have finally found some!

    I originally ordered the H&M ones and the dresses were lovely, however the colour was very different to the picture - more of a mink colour (browny pink) and when i took photos of them they looked mauve! Not the right shade for me so i sent them back.

    There are my dresses i now have, they are from the Birmingham Dress Lady who is on ebay but you can buy direct and also visit her shop if you wish. There are lots of threads on here about her - mixed reviews on quality but they were perfect for me and only £39!! x

    I have one of the H+M dresses, well I actually have 2, but will be wearing one to a ball next month. Bought them for bridesmaid dresses but they were too small, and sold out of the next size up.

    They are both size 12 (although probs closer to a 10)

    I think they were £35, so you are welcome to them for what I paid if you like

    btw, Im not some random troll trying to con you, just look on here occasionally

    Hi Girls

    Update on the missguided dress - I have had no end of problems with them, they sent me the wrong dress, which i can understand, mistakes happen. But since then i have had a nightmare communicating with them about returning it and delivering the right one. I wouldn't have recommended them had i had known this would happen. But i have had an email today to say the correct dress has now been despatched. But don't think it will be the correct colour now reading this thread! :-(

    Hi Girls

    The dress eventually arrived, and although we love it, the colour is too dark, as was said on here previously. Did anyone order the blush one? If so, how was the colour?

    Hi all,

    Well, I ordered my dresses yesterday afternoon and they arrived this morning!! (Not due til Mon) so if nothing else, very impressed with efficiency.

    I ordered the Blush and the colour is perfect for me, it's peach, slightly darker than it looks on the website. I'll try to flash when the girls try them on (saturday) but I don't know how...x

    These were mine- I dont want to pi$$ on your strawberries but they were a nightmare to get in April time when I bought them so doubt there would be any in stores? perhaps call the head office and see what they have- they are also VERY small- my size 10 CBM had to get a size 14 and my poor normal size 14 BM had to diet to get into the 16 we got her.
