Can I request help finding this dress?

[yssie]

I'm looking for the red dress that the woman in the Air Wick 2010 Winter Luxury Collection commercial is wearing - or another red dress with that back


I can't find pictures of the thing anywhere - or any information on it! I know it's a long shot but I've seen PSers work miracles on the hunt


Here's a link to the ad on YouTube (it's in French), you can see the back at ~17seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDwLRK8E4wo&feature=related

 

[Steel]

Nope sorry (couldn't even download the ad ). But I hope somebody knows where to get it or something similar.

I had to reply to you; 81 lookie-loo's and nobody bothered to say anything.

Girl, that dress is hot. Let me poke around a bit and see what I can find.

 

[yssie]

Thanks April! It seriously is I hope you can find something!

Steal - heh, I kinda figured it was a long shot. But good point about the video - screenshots are prob a better idea:

(it's knee-length)

 

[MonkeyPie]

I just saw that ad and wondered about the dress, too. But I have looked and look and nothing

 

[TravelingGal]

Nice dress and more power to ya...I'd look like a trussed up roast in that dress.

 

[April20]

I found a bunch of links for people wanting to know who makes that dress, but no answers! I check V's Secret- nothing. I didn't see anything on Nordstrom.com either. I'm going to poke around a little more now that I'm done working and see what I can find.

(I am not tall enough - or thin enough- to pull that dress off, so if you find it, i will expect photos of you in it.)

 

[yssie]

I just emailed Air Wick. I'm going to call in tomorrow. They'll probably think I'm nuts


lol TGal - always such a way with words

April - pics - done! If it can be found...

MP - I know, lots of people asking about it, but noone seems to know anything - or have found any alternatives - and I *need* that dress!

yssie I don't think you're nuts, that's a fabulous dress. Please let us know what they say!

I can't really offer much help on this specific dress but have you tried the new google shopping beta? Boutiques.com? It shows you a bunch of links for clothing, shoes, handbags, etc. You pick silhouettes, colors etc. that you like and rate the search results it returns, then it suggests more items like the ones you've rated highly. I just bought a new red dress that it helped me find and I've been loving the shoe searches! You might be able to find a dress similar to this one on that site.

[Jessie702]

Man, that dress is so hot....i could never pull it off....first off, i gotta wear a bra...lol....seriously, pic had better be posted if you find that dress.

 

[sillyberry]

I'm so worried it was created just for the theme of the commercial. It really is a beauty!

 

[Bleed Burnt Orange]

I present to you a lame attempt at a similar dress...

ETA: HOLY MOLY...I didn't even look at the price!!

 

[partgypsy]

Thanks for posting the "cheap" and chic dress!

 

[athenaworth]

OK now I want it too!! Of course I want everything Kate Middleton is wearing too, so apparently I'm just a media wh*re.

 

[Bleed Burnt Orange]

Thanks for posting the "cheap" and chic dress!

Yeah...I have no idea what's CHEAP about that!!!

 

[slg47]

and the retail is $2050??? for that dress?? doesn't look like anything special to me...

Not the dress but along the same vein

[slg47]

someone asked about it on answers.com but no one answered

 

[rhbgirl24]

OOOOO Its gorgeous! I'm looking too. Will post if I can find something.

I have this dress, it's AMAZING! It's more of a summer dress though.

 

[yssie]

Bah.

Just got a reply to my email: since marketing is handled by a different agency, we're sorry but we aren't able to help you.

And I got out too late to call - tomorrow it is. Will update when I do!



I hope it wasn't made for the commercial like sillyberry said - or that there's a decent(ly priced ) alternative! I spent an hour looking last night.. found a couple somewhat similar but most everything is either outright trampy or just a bit too demure... Another option is to buy a long dress w/ an open back, there are more of those, and have it hemmed I guess...



Does anyone know the proper description for that style of back? That's the part that's making me swoon - I don't particularly care about the front one way or another. I tried 'open', 'low', 'scoop', 'strap/strappy', 'v', 'bandage', cross' - some hits but nothing consistently on target!



jazmine - thanks for posting - it's not quite what I'm looking for, it looks a bit lighter and more summery than the one I want.



Thanks for everyone's help on this - I (and apparently athena ) will make good use of the results!!

I know this is going to sound kinda weird...but have you check sites that sell bridesmaids dresses and wedding gowns? A lot of times they'll have super cute dresses with backs like that for BM dresses and even for short bridal gowns (and they usually can be made in other colors). Just a thought! I'd check morilee and a few others, they usually have super cute backs!

that is an interesting thought - it does look a bit bridesmaid-y actually..

 

[jaz464]

When I searched I used the term "cutouts" or "horizontal back cutouts."

I also found that the term is "cage back", referring to the back...pattern...thing.
