I Got It!
I strongly believe that all things bad eventually lead to something good. After a tiff with my husband I stopped by H&M just to cheer myself up - and there it was. The dress I had wanted so badly but completely lost hope of ever finding. With the print that I love so much and already have on a shirt and a bikini. I knew it was supposed to be dirt cheap so I thought that the reason I didn´t find it was that it was sold out. It wasn´t and now it´s mine - another maxi dress. Oh, how many warm summer days are going to be spent in the backyard wearing this! The best thing is that it´s so long that I can easily wear it with heels.

Nice dress. And hmmm…fighting leads to good shopping karma??
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:35 pm
It’s really great; I’ll be looking forward to seeing you in it.

You got THE dress!
I’m already waiting patiently for a month till my size is available on the online shop. When I heard the stores sold them too I immeadiatly ran to the H&M, but still no luck .. the next day I went twice but again, nog my size!! So I will try again tomorrow :-(

WendyB, absolutely, in this case anyway. Sometimes it leads to a better relationship. Sometimes it ends in a break-up and you end up finding your soulmate. It translates to everything. :)
Enc, I will wear it as soon as the weather allows to!
Léonie, good luck! They only had one in a smaller size, still one size too big, but it doesn´t matter. Do you have more H&M shops? I find that in Norway anyway, the shop on the westside often have more left of the “loud” stuff as people that live in that part of the city often have a cleaner style. Or it might just have less traffic. I don´t know. But a different shop might be where you´ll find it.

I love the dress, it makes me even more sad for not having H&M in my country…
April 2nd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
i knew THIS was the dress you were looking for. you wrote about it on a wednesday i think, and it only came on stores on thursday. so well. yeah. i got the same one too! i think the day after it was all gone. lucky u! i’m superstitious about shopping, so you can say that the dress was really meant to be yours. haha.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Modejunkie, I am superstitious like that as well! :)

Beate, men du skulle kjøpt den! Så kunne vi vært tvillinger i Stockholm! ;)

That’s a great dress, I have it as well and I love it. It looks nice with the zara sandals and a leather jacket; that was my outfit for today!
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
That´s crazy! That´s exactly how I planned to wear it! :D
April 2nd, 2008 at 11:59 pm

Loveitloveitloveit!!

That’s fashion!

Fantastic dress. I’m totally getting into maxis too. They’re the ultimate in versatility and comfort, and they’re so stunning to look at! WOOH!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 am
I want that dress too. Wish me luck, finding it!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:42 am
Good luck to all of you looking for the same one!

Hi Agathe,
I just discovered your blog. Did you know it’s been featured in german magazine “Amica”?
Re the dress: amazing! I got a similar one and I wear it for 3 years now, it’s just always a good choice - once the weather allows wearing it *shiver*.
As for H&M you wrote that you don’t think it’s so much fun anymore as it used to be. I totally agree! I thought that was only my impression and that maybe my taste changed, but then I really think they don’t have so many nice clothes any more and I don’t like the way they have reorganised the shops, it’s dull. A pity, isn’t it? I used to be their biggest fan.
However, this afternoon I’ll give them another chance! ;o)
All the best!
*N*

I tried this dress on 2 weeks ago but it didn’t fit me very well (I’m awfully short). Glad it works better on you! There was a ton of them left here in Antwerp even though they really are dirt-cheap. ‘Loud’ stuff doesn’t sell very fast here in Belgium.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 am
I tried this dress as well, but I’m just too small and skinny to wear it… :(
Then I tried to make my mum buy it for my prom. Haha but she didn’t think it was the right style for such an event and it didn’t fit anyhow.
I was so sad that non of us bought it because it is sooo cheap and still so adorable.
At the H&M I tried it there where still many many left in all sizes. I can’t believe that it has been sold out everywhere where you guys tried! That’s a pity!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 am
Awwww that is so beautiful!!
Can anybody buy it for me,since we don’t have H&M here in my country??
How much is it anyway?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:13 pm
It is about 15€ (~23$) :)
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:51 pm
omg so beautiful. i wish we had h&m in my country too.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Glad you got the dress you were wanting!
I hope you and your husband managed to make up after your tiff :)
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:25 pm

April 5th, 2008 at 3:31 pm

April 6th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
That dress is so beautiful!
April 7th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
oh, i own this one, too. its amazing. and so nice to wear.
April 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
I’ve tried it on today, but it did not look well on me.:( In size 34, my breasts were certainly too loud (so to say), however 36 was far too big for me. :(

Love the Ethnic print. We finally have a H&M in California, I’ve been waiting so long. Just this morning (before I read this blog), I was thinking how dissapointed I was in the H&M in Orange County, and I wonder if they tone it down here, because a lot of people are afraid to take risks in what they wear. Just the other day, I asked the girl at H&M if they had any high waisted pants, and she said, “No, I was looking for them to, they only got them in LA and San Fransisco.”
Anyways, would love to be so lucky and find that dress there, I guess its off to the thrift store, for some great vintage again.
