I'm bored of looking now and I'm sure I've scoured every possible shop. I'm really hoping someone can suggest somewhere I might have missed.
Where can I look for a black ball gown?
Please and thank you  |

"Bought a fabulous Godiva gown recently on Debenhams online for under £70 ! "
Like tip on Debenhams don’t shop there they marked up with the debenhams tag
They owned by boohoo they literally stop the same stuff
Only difference is label on the inside says Debenhams the other says boohoo
I literally got a skirt from boohoo last week on sale £7 debenhams wanted £25 for it |

eBay charity shops worth a look too. East Anglia Children's Hospice often have formal wear. The British Heart Foundation eBay shop is huge. |

"What kind of ball gown you looking for except for it being black?
Floofy, either full length or knee length. Ideally something I can wear a proper bra under. "
Try pretty kitty fashion or colectif x |

"Depends on the budget, but a few places have sales on.
Monsoon
Roman Originals
Phase Eight
Whistles
Next
Coast
Reiss
House of Fraser
JJ's House
Goddiva "
Tried all of them. Spent 4 hours in bluewater last weekend. Maybe I'm just fussy 
I know what I want in my head but I've only found one thing like it so far and the sizing is all wrong. It's a lot to spend to them spend extra to get it adjusted too. |

House of Fraser have 12 black dresses under the category "ball gown"
Monsoon has two or three under black occasion dress which might fit your criteria
John Lewis have at least a handful that might fit your criteria under dress - black - prom or evening
Might be a stretch or expensive - maybe bridesmaid's dresses might give you something appropriate? |

I feel your pain. I'm looking for something to wear to a wedding, but needs to be modest and not have a plunging neckline etc. I tried on all sorts at the Trafford Centre, ordered and sent back a bunch and await the next delivery for further attempts, but am about ready to wear a bin bag! |

I joked about a bin bag too! This is for a wedding. You'd think finding a black fancy dress would be easy  |
