Hello everyone, I need some help please!!

I am watching Silent Witness and Nikki Garcia has just been wearing the most fabulous dress - I am going to a wedding later in the year and would love to wear it! Can anyone help?!

Here is a picture: www.andygibsontv.com/uploads/2/3/0/7/23074706/14368651-high-silent-witness-series-21_orig.jpg

Thank you!

Budget version.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Womens-Embroidered-Fashion-Evening-Seaside/dp/B06Y3N6PQH/ref=sr11_6?s=clothing&ie=UTF8&qid=1516694885&sr=1-6&keywords=embroidered+dress+for+women

Looks good. Don't know what it'd be like in the flesh but you could risk it at £27.99

There was a coat thread Mockney you didn't dream it (cannot for the life of me remember what it looked like but there was loads of "I want her wardrobe" clothes envy going on) Grin

No help to the thread whatsoever, as you were.

Actually that budget dress looks lovely on the model. I'd give it a crack. You can always send it back.

steppemum · 23/01/2018 09:57

Oh that budget dress looks AMAZING on the model. I was a bit mehh when I clinked the link, but when you see it on, it is lovely.

(pity I am not several stone lighter....)

I usually love the fashion on Silent Witness but this dress is awful.

Zapdos · 23/01/2018 10:18

Short, but slightly more affordable...

The Temperley shop at Bicester used to have amazing discounts on gowns - not sure if it's still there, seems to have been a shuffle of shops at Bicester

CatelynStark · 23/01/2018 10:58

There’s this...??

I need this dress!!
ChardonnaysPrettySister · 23/01/2018 12:02

This one is similar to something H&M used to sell, Catelyn.

CountFosco · 23/01/2018 12:38

Don't buy from the American site, looks dodgy. There's no address and the English isn't quite right in the terms and conditions.

neveradullmoment99 · 23/01/2018 12:39

Lovely dress but where would you wear it? I would never have the lifestyle for it!

neveradullmoment99 · 23/01/2018 12:40

I wonder if she dresses like that in real life! Or is it just the style of her character?

neveradullmoment99 · 23/01/2018 12:43

I think the budget dress from amazon looks great and a fantastic price. Sounds from the reviews that it runs small.

DrRanjsRightEyebrow · 23/01/2018 12:44

Definitely Alice Temperley.

Surpriseeggsforbreakfast · 23/01/2018 12:48

ASOS sometimes have embroidered dresses like this, worth a look.

merrygoround51 · 23/01/2018 12:51

Needle and Thread whilst retailing at around £400-500 are fabulous quality and cut

popcorntime · 23/01/2018 17:48

This popped up on asos today and I thought it was similar...

I need this dress!!
Oldraver · 23/01/2018 18:17

I love the dress... I love the embroidered overlay look, although I wouldn't get married again there is a lovely wedding dress that is similar, that I saw (and actually only managed to find the price today) that might tempt me Grin

bubblesarebest · 23/01/2018 21:29

Thank you magpiemischief and CatelynStark I've ordered the dress! I'm pretty sure it is going to be shorter on me than the model in the pic but the dress looks lovely so I'm hoping it looks as good in real life - for that money I had to try it!! :)

Come back and let us know how it works out. The reviews seem good.

IWillSurviveHeyHey · 24/01/2018 06:31

Sorry but I have to laugh at Desigual dresses being suggested as a possibility.

The dress the OP has posted is utterly exquisite.

CatelynStark · 24/01/2018 09:17

Bubbles, I’ve bought from Ali Express many times and it’s brilliant - you may have to wait a while for it to arrive though. For £15, it’s worth a bash for the fabric alone Grin

CastielIsMyAngel · 24/01/2018 09:27

Don’t feel too bad at the price because even if you had the money, it’s says under the price No longer available anyway Grin

If her stylist reads this can we please emplore her or him to start dressing Emilia Fox in some clothes that are a bit more affordable. Here we all are coveting her style only to feel flat after finding out her times cost up to 2K.

Pretty please....
