[horty]

Hi - does anybody know where the dress came from that Leona wore on tonight's X Factor?
Thanks in advance.

[weenireeni]

new look had the same dress in black, grey and purple the other week, so they might have it in blue too? think it was about �35 if thats any help :-)

[horty]

Thanks very much weeni, I am off in search of it today, nice price too.

[Peachness]

Did you get the dress at New Look, Horty??? I fancy one for my Xmas do!!!

[horty]

Hi peachness, no unfortunately after going to two stores I realized that it is not the same dress at all, so I am still hunting for my xmas party frock too...

[Peachness]

Any other ideas on how to find it???? How about you weeni??? Got to have it it's gorg!!!! Got really excited at �35

[Peachness]

Hey Horty! Determined to fined this flipping dress! Been on X Factor website, took me to another link. Found a dress, similar but not exact. Have a look at www.abound.co.uk and let me know what you think!

[horty]

Hiya Peachness
Thanks for getting back to me with this info. I've gone onto www.abound.co.uk but can't find the dress....what section is it in please?
:-)

hi horty, im on the same mission to find that green/blue floaty dress-i cant belive how hard it is iv gone to every obvious website i can think of warehouse,topshop ect but no luck.I to have been on the xfactor website and posted a message but still nothing iv e mailed x factor aswell but they havent even replyed, so its not in the high street shop unless its yet to be released-my mum aslo thought she'd seen it in new look.i want this dress so bad -good luck

[Peachness]

Hi Horty and let's not forget our new investigator, welcome to the fold j2ho!

Right!!! abound - go to womens, love label-latest looks, going out and look at page 4 of 9! Hey presto one very similar turquoise green dress, no sleeves and not sure about the bust area!!!! Let me know what you thing!

j2ho, I too have been on X Factor website and how unhelpful can they possibly be????

Found another link with chat and talking to someone over there about same said blue dress! Will let you know how I get on but not much hope!!!

[horty]

Hi to J2h0 and Peachness - I have looked at the dress on Abound but its not as good is it - good detective work though! I do hope somebody gets back to one of you on the X Factor website as we are slowly running out of time!! I noticed in magazines sometimes they have a page where people ask where celeb's etc get their clothes from - maybe that could be our last resort?!?
Let me know what you think - it may be worth emailing a few mags!

[j2h0]

hi peachness and horty, im gonna rant now but do you no what im glad im not even a fan of x factor cos if thats how they treat there fans im glad i havent contributed to there funds by voting, i just happen to be flicking through the channel when i saw this beautifull green dress-i want it so bad im coming rather compulsive looking for it.so i typed in leona's green dresss on google and i find a forum type site where someone said it came from versace on oxford street london so i had a look along with every other shops website but still no luck-so then i had a look on my space where leona's got a page stupidly thinking it might say where the dress was from but no!! see iv been working hard for all of us but no such luck.

[horty]

Hi j2h0 wow you have been working very hard - what a shame that we still have no answer! I have looked in every high street store I can find with no luck either - maybe it isn't released yet - the greedy swines! We can but hope that its released in time for us all to grab it for next years Xmas do I suppose. I really don't want to give up on this though so I'll still be trying my best to find it. Its taking over all of our lives!!

[Peachness]

Hi Guys! After this we may have to get checked out for OCD! I too have had no luck. Spoke to my friend who says they get a lot of the stuff from Miss Selfridges, been there done that, and guess what no dress!

Hey Horty, do you think the dress on abound might have been tampered with by one of X Factors expert tailors??? They have been known to chop and change outfits! The colour is pretty much a definite match, the length is the same and it looks like chiffon to me???

Hey j2ho, not sure if they've got the budget for Versace just yet and as you say if they treat their fans anything like us they never will!!!

So guys the hunt goes on, happy searching and I'll let you know if I find anything!

[Peachness]

Hey Guys! You've gone quiet on me, pleae say you're not giving up!

Just been onto digital spy forum and there's a couple of girls looking for it too!

Say they've difinitely seen it in New Look for �28 but it looks horrible up close??? Do you think it's worth having another look Horty???

[LauraJayne]

Wow, you have been busy! I've been looking for the very same dress. I e-mailed heat magazine last Tuesday as they have a 'find it' section. Will see if they respond! Will try Now magazine as well.

[horty]

Hiya ladies - it doesn't look very nice up close - thats the one I went to find from the original suggestion by weenireeni - they have it in grey which obviously is not very Xmas Partyish at all! I didn't see it in purple or black in any of the shoes (I've now been to 3 Newlooks!). My only thought is that its a highstreet one but its not out quite yet? We can but hope I suppose....
Your right about the Abound one - the colour is v similar so I guess thats a possibility....

[j2h0]

hiya, im a bit confused-so is the dress in new look the dress were all after or just one that looks similar as noone has mentioned it being green, had a look on another forum where someone said it might be from karen millen so i emailed them and a kind lady emailed me to say it werent!! so the next thing to do is email heat magazine at [email protected] for those of you who dont no what it its you can email them about something youve seen a celebrity wearing,so come on everyone lets pull together if we all email in they might put it in the magazine for us lets hope anyway, see im still hard at work looking for it

[coop-dawg]

its from karen millen...i think its 160 quid tho. i was looking at it the day before the show when i was looking for a prom dress and was dead excited to see leona wearing it!

[coop-dawg]

ahh sorry just reread it and its the wrong dress that im talking about...sorry!

[Filly]

Hello! The blue dress is definitely from New Look.... there is a pic in this week's issue of Heat and it is an exact match. It's not as pretty in real life tho! I much prefer the pink and black butterfly dress she wore on last Saturday's X Factor... that one is �160 from Karen Millen and I bought it the very next day!!
