Dress success: another reason to love the online fashion community

On Monday evening I spied the most delightful dress as worn by Claudia Winkleman on Stictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. I looked everywhere I could think of online but just couldn't find it anywhere and decided to call on my fellow fashionistas for help. On Tuesday the episode was up on BBC iPlayer so I took a couple of screenshots of it and put them on the blog: I posted at 11.57 and the mystery as to where is is from was solved around twenty minutes later.
So many people helped in the blog comments, on Twitter and Facebook I just wanted to spread the love and say thank you! <3 <3 <3 I really appreciate it and it's a reminder of what I love most about blogging- the lovely people I come into contact with.
Special thanks to @rosiesalkeld and @jess_shepherd for informing me it's from Miss Selfridge and currently in the sale. Particularly to the latter who very sweetly offered to send me one from her local branch.
However I brought forward a trip to Birmingham (I swear really did need to go for college work too!) and found it lovely waiting for me in the Bullring Miss Selfridge store.
Many, many thanks to everyone who contributed to the finding of my gorgeous new dress.

Sorry, but it just reminds me too much of Wednesday Adams, so I'd only wear it one day a year. I still like it though. Glad you found it :)
