This French Connection dress is still expensive but also gorgeous!

Reiss have a similar dress in a nude or blue colour
Warehouse also have a coral version that s really fab
Can't link at the moment but will try in a bit

What a beautiful dress. The FC one is lovely too.

scotsgirl23 · 22/04/2012 12:24

That is gorgeous, I can see why you love it

This is similarish monsoon and looked nicer in shop when I saw it

THe dress is beautiful! My friend had this dress which she wore to ever wedding she went to let year. You would not believe how many people asked her where it was from. Unfortunately it would have to be an ebay job but you might find one new with tags. THey come up quite often.

This is a better photo of the dress.

asos too plain?

DuelingFanjo · 22/04/2012 15:11

not just like it but an alternative?

noddyholder · 22/04/2012 15:16

this is lovely

Chicinwellies · 22/04/2012 18:38

Thank you all, what helpful responses. I have an ebay search set up for it, and Love the monsoon dress too - the oasis one is different colour wise but so pretty and much more within price range lol at 10% of my hearts desire!
You know when you can just truly picture yourself in something though, and know it could be the One after all this time to really make you feel completely fab. I even have some shoes already..... Sigh x

well it is your sisters wedding so my issue would be not wearing something that another guest (who isnt family) would have, so for me, monsoon/asos/french connection would be out as I know others would have the dress.

Your original dress is lovely - any chance you can get a dress maker to make a copy similar one for you?

This has similar colours?

whitelillies · 23/04/2012 09:37

this
oh sorry just saw it s or your sis wedding - you might not want ivory then

this is the one i think is quite similar

this is less similar but nice the coral version of that one is pretty too maybe worth trying

warehouse this is not the colour you re looking for but a smiliar style -looks lovely IRL!

Chicinwellies · 23/04/2012 09:45

Thank you - Love the Mint V dress but def too short, and the Oasis ones are lovely, the first is beautiful but may have to get approval to wear this colouring. Dressmakers have come back with quotes on a 'copy'ish of the Catherine P dress and its nearly as much as the original so am forgetting this idea. Thank you all again! Exciting. x

None of these are quite it, but how's about:

George bargain

or this

this

Traffic People

And, a friend of mine was wearing a similar dress in a photo on her Facebook page, so have messaged her to find out where it was from!

DuelingFanjo · 23/04/2012 11:04

the first one in FairPhyllis's link is LOVELY!

Chicinwellies · 24/04/2012 17:04

Thank you mombojombo - sadly my days of some of those dresses are gone thanks to my two wonderful ten and a half pound born children lol, but would be great to hear what your friend says, that was kind of you. FairPhyllis is in the lead so far ! Thanks all
