Did anybody watch "WNTW" last night?

MsMary

Carly? The single mom of two who was wearing her 12-year-old daugher's t-shirts?

One of the mannequin dresses looked JUST LIKE the Nine West "magic dress," only in a different and divine multicolor print. I've looked over at TLC's web site and there's no episode data posted yet, but I must. find. that. dress.

Anybody care to help me search?

I don't get that channel (we don't get hardly any channels
And I can't find anywhere on line that shows the full episodes for the current season.

They *will* have the info up on the site soon! Takes about a week, so keep checking back!

I taped it and watched it earlier tonight, but I had not yet read this thread - so to be honest with you, I can't even remember the dress! Hmmmm . . . I guess it didn't make that big of an impression on me.

High five, MaryK -- I saw that episode and also spotted the resemblance between the dresses.

Let us know when you find it!

Wishing you luck on finding another magic dress! The original is incredible and works for so many.

I think there's a shopping list on the WNTW site. (At least they said there is)

I missed it too... and doesn't look like TLC is doing a re-run on Carly anytime soon.

I don't have a TV, but there is a several minute long recap video of the episode on the WNTW site right now, featuring the magic dress on the mannequin. And it is gorgeous - I'd love to find it myself!

Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck searching for the brand of the dress. Sometimes on the WNTW blog they will do a recap of the outfits on the mannequins for a certain episode, or you could also try asking on the WNTW Facebook page to see if anyone knows where to find the dress.

In the meantime, there are a couple somewhat similar dresses available at Macy's:

I swear, that looks like the very same Nine West dress in a different fabric. I am going to keep hunting...

(Intercontinental observation since that gem of a dress will cross the pond in the next century only if ever:
It's interesting to see the American version of the show, much quieter and toned down version than the UK one.)

Sorry to interrupt, keep gushing

Thanks for the recap; I was on call ... boo!

I don't really like the dress (bold pattern + me = badness); but I love the shoes!

I think tonight I'll dress like a space hooker!

Good luck in finding the dress.

LOL... that space hooker outfit was quite the outfit!
I do think that looked just like the magic dress Mary.

It really does look like the Nine West dress, and I can totally see you in it Mary! Kim, the space hooker comment made me laugh and spit a little tea on myself

The thing I want from that episode is the first drapey-neck blouse Stacey had on! Where are THOSE blouses!?

And five months later, it turns out it IS the Nine West dress, and I found one on eBay! Here it is on the mannequin in the episode, and here is the one I just bought from ebay, for $39.99 delivered to the house! Boo-ya!!

YOU. ARE. IMPRESSIVE.

When I first looked at this thread tonight, I was thinking "darn was WNTW on last night?" Then, I looked at the date - and I thought "why is this thread reappearing after all of this time?" Now I know. Persistence and Determination, along with perhaps a little touch of Obsession????

Love that dress!

I am choosing to take those terms as compliments, Marley! LOL (And maybe add "being alone in a hotel room with nothing better to do!")

I was actually inspired by our lovely Sona, who found the red version on eBay and inspired me to give it one more try: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-and-angie. Thanks, Sona!!

WooHoo, when I saw the thread I wondered right away if the search was over. I love that print, definitely worth the wait.

I like that print even better than the fan-like one. Fun!

Oh yay! It's always great when you track something down. I miss WNTW over here in the UK (question to Ornella - is the US version available somewhere online in the UK? I'd love to watch it)

Edited to add - I've found it online - and the very first episode I looked at was the one with Carly!! So excited ...
