Please does anyone know where this dress worn by BBC weatherperson, Louise Lear, the other night is stocked?

I think she's had it a while! Not much help! Sorry

She wears some very nice dresses.

Dont know about that dress but this is very similar to one I bought in the summer from Cotton Traders. Black and white, long sleeves, wrap over v neck front, midi length. I paid full price but I see it's now been reduced in the sale grrrrr
Take a look

I want to know where Carole Kirkwood gets her dresses. Sorry no help at all.

it looks like a Phase 8 one

It has been suggested to me that these ladies may have social media presences whee questions like this can be asked. Worth a try?

We have a newsreader here in the Midlands who wears gorgeous clothes. She had a particularly nice dress on one day which I loved. I very cheekily found out her email address and sent her a message. She didn't mind at all and sent a very nice reply giving details of the dress. Unfortunately it was out of stock.

I agree with JJ it looks like a Phase 8 maybe from a couple of seasons ago though.
I have been searching frantically for the lovely house slippers Helen Bonham Carter wears in the DFS advert any idea's ladies ?

JaneJudge, I was just about to suggest Phase8 but you beat me to it.

I agree, Carole Kirkwood has some lovely dresses. I particularly liked the red and white one she wore recently.

NotTooOldI like most of her dresses. She always looks lovely envy

I know from experience that the forecasters don’t mind responding with details about their fashion choices. I know Louise has shopped at Zara & happily told me so when I enquired about a lovely jacket she once wore for a broadcast.

Mark it for the attention of the forecaster.
Worth a try!
