I need a green dress for an odd reason

Hi style and beauty Mners, I need a flattering green dress in a specific shade of green. For a very odd purpose.

I've had a bit of a rough time of it recently and had been quite isolated until making more of an effort to put myself out there a bit. Myself and the gyms at my gym have decided to do a group costume theme for a charity Hallowe'en event that we were invited to.

I came up with the theme of Mario Brothers the more i type the more ridiculous this sounds as there is many characters and it's from our childhoold age group (mid to late 20's now).

I decided I wanted to go as Yoshi who is a green dragon type thing (see attached pic). The trouble is the only pre made costumes of such a creature have very poor ratings on amazon or are quite manly and wouldn't fit me.

I am therefore going to DIY it but will need a green dress in the shade of the attached pic.

Can anyone help?!

Oh that is perfect! but I should've stated my size oops! 8-10. I appreciate this is not really what style and beauty is here for (dodgy hallowe'en decisions) so I really appreciate your help!

all brill wonky - Ok now I will no doubt have too many to choose from! it went from crisis costume to tons of options, thanks guys!

I'm not even really a Hallowe'en person, haven't dressed up since I was about 10 but we're trying to go out a bit more as a group so thought hey why not? It's taking me out of my comfort zone which at this time is probably good for me. Thanks again Smile
