Can anyone help me find a cheaper version of this dress?

Hi all,

I've trying to plan what to wear for 3 weddings this summer and I've kinda fallen in love with this gorgeous green lace dress Keira Knighley wore recently:
celebs.allwomenstalk.com/celebrities-wearing-lace-dresses-who-wore-it-best/8

I love green lace (I'm a redhead so it would really suit me) but I'm struggling to find something similar to it - most green lace dresses I've found are either skater style (so not very wedding-gy) or a bit too revealing.

My budget is anything below the £100 mark. Any ideas please? Smile

Could you find pattern and ask a dressmaker??

ThatRuddyAbyssinian · 20/06/2013 14:28

I did think of that, but no idea how much it would cost to get made - dressmakers round here seem to specialise mostly in wedding dresses and seem to be expensive (judging by their websites anyway). Bit afraid to contact one in case it makes a fool out of me Blush

Any good?

Topshop

Thanks for the links Smile Love the Esprit one - is Zalando any good to order from? The Topshop one is very nice too. Both dresses I havn't seen before and I've been looking online for ages!

this? And it's reduced too!

MaryKatharine · 20/06/2013 14:40

I actually ordered from Zalando last week. Very good customer service.

fuzzywuzzy · 20/06/2013 14:43

if you look on the zalando link they have listed a 'you may also like' on the right hand side lower down fomr the dress I linked, there's another green lace dress on that too.

ThatRuddyAbyssinian · 20/06/2013 14:44

That Asos one a bit too long for me, thanks Mary. Smile

I see Esprit have a store in my town (shop has sold out of that dress though) so wonder if I could get them to order it in to at least try it on...

this has the fishtail cut of theo ne you liked, I don't really like the look of it on the model tho! Hmm

fuzzywuzzy · 20/06/2013 14:53

yes the Kiomi one is nice.

ThatRuddyAbyssinian · 20/06/2013 15:03

Yes that is nice Smile I don't think it's the dress on the model that's the problem - its the fact that her lipstick makes her look like the joker! Shock

OASIS had some lovely lace skater style dresses in, both in a vibrant blue and a green.
