There are 2 items on my wardrobe wishlist which I just cannot seem to find.

I thought all you loveley YLF ladies might be able to help.

I have a hankering for a white eyelet dress and a white lace button up top.

Re: The top - I had one when I was about 18 & loved it. It hade pearl buttons all the way, little sleeves & a fairly high neckline. I amy be trying to recapture something here but I just loved it until It was washed with colours by a well meaning BF.

As for the dress, I just want one. There's nothing but 80's style crap in stores here at the moment & I can't seem to find a good one online.

So, if any of you come across either of these that would suit a busty hourglss in your shopping adventures, please just let me know on here & I will forever grateful.

I have no idea about where you can find these, but hopefully someone here will come to the rescue. I bought a white eyelet skirt last year from Kohls, it was the Chaps brand if I remember correctly. Have you checked online?

Hi Carole, I have looked online. The only nice ones I could find had built in bras which as a 30GG(UK) I can tell you will just not fit regardless of what the sizing chart says.

Had this white eyelet wrap dress, which I loved, just loved. Loved it to death. Kept getting it caught on the kitchen drawer handles...

If you live in Canada this is cute and a great price. Only $69

This is the link for the site but I'm sorry I don't know how to create one. Maybe you can cut and paste it.

Wow it made it's own link, cool! FYI, Joe Fresh is Joe Mimram's newest creation, he started Club Monaco that was bought out by Calvin Klein I believe. It is amazing prices for pretty good quality clothes.

You could try thrift stores. I know finding white items that are fresh is a little tough, but I've found some white blouses at thrift stores that still had the tags on them. When I want a clothing item that designers aren't currently showing, they are great places to start looking. Also discounters that carry previous season's merchandise.

One of my fave Aussie designers, stumbled upon by chance. Just waiting for sizing info to make sure I order the right one.

Thank you all so much for your help.
