I am getting handfasting on Beltane and need a dress.

I want green, any shade
The more unusual the better
I am size 18-20
Not sure what style but don't want the medieval style
I like the sewn in capes from shoulder to shoulder
I like ombre, dip dyed fabric or velvet, or embroidered fabric
I like a fitted bodice

Help please!

Sorry just realised you said you don’t want medieval style.

Oh that renaissance one is gorgeous!

clairethewitch70 · 21/01/2020 21:05

I like them Sexnotgender but all my friends have had medieval styles and I want something different

Walkerbean - I like the first one but its not in my size. Second one is too plain

I am getting handfasted in woodland. Coven are wearing plain white hooded robes, husband and sons are wearing long gothic style black brocade jackets. I am having a rock crystal point crown.

That's gorgeous @Sexnotgender (the green one)

Giving me ideas for my next dress

clairethewitch70 · 21/01/2020 21:12

I love firefly path but bit too costly, although they do have a range of sewing patterns so I may have to make something. That firefly dress is gorgeous

Could you get one made?

Ohffs66 · 21/01/2020 21:12

Given the last update I can see why I'm off point with my suggestions! I hope you find something lovely OP

KatyMac · 21/01/2020 21:13

If you find something the right colour/shape/feel you can get a dressmaker to tweak it for you maybe?

CornishPorsche · 21/01/2020 21:13

Have a look at Chotronette.

What's your budget like?

clairethewitch70 · 21/01/2020 21:15

I love the sewn in cape on this
