Can you help me find this dress, or one like it?

June 3, 2015 12:50 PM

I waited too long to bite the bullet on this dress and now it's out of stock. Any ideas on where else to buy out-of-stock ASOS dresses, or ideas for online stores that are stocking similarly shaped and printed dresses for tall ladies? I'm looking for sleeved, slim cut/tailored, midi or below-the-knee length (but not a maxi), preferably in a dark floral, in a US 16.

You can find some of them on their UK site; not sure if it's possible to order them from the US (maybe you know someone living abroad?).

Best answer: My Asos tip is bookmark the page and wait. Out of stock things regularly come back into stock due to returns.

Best answer: Some similar, but probably just not right enough to be annoying dresses:

Dark floral with sleeve

Dark floral, shorter sleeve "runs large order one size down" also at Nordstrom.

Similar shape, lighter print at Nordstrom.

Black and white floral, long sleeve at Bloomingdales

NY & Co, none with sleeves, unfortunately: Yellow/blue, Blue, Pink & Black

Bold, again without sleeves.

Macy's: Blue/Black cap sleeve; short sleeve black & white

Black with sleeves & keyhole neck; Black with fishtail at knees; black satin, cap sleeve

Probably too short, also with short sleeve

Random web retailer, has sleeves.

A simple eBay keyword search.

The closest match I could find in 6 minutes or less.

Dorothy Perkins doesn't currently have anything in the right style/size pairing (the closest I could find was slightly too short) but if you like ASOS, it's worth checking them out as well, as they carry similar styles.

Lands' End has a few options, though their cut is a little more conservative than the ASOS dress. Here's a great dark floral print.

Eloquii has the right shapes, but the patterns may be a little too out there for you. This one comes in a couple of geometric-botanical patterns; this one has a large-scale dark floral element.

Response by poster: Thanks for all the ideas--I'll keep checking ASOS and look through some of the options y'all have suggested. I do think it's going to be a matter of "close but not quite" but that's what I get for waiting so long!
