Help me find a green dress?

I've got a hankering for a green dress, ideally floral print. It must not be polyester, and if it's viscose it must be 'nice viscose' not that horrible scratchy stuff or that horribly creasy stuff.

Ideally with a flared skirt.

Anybody seen anything, please?

try here. it is viscose but i don't think it's the scratchy stuff

PregnantOnPurpose · 16/06/2019 20:52

What size are you?

How just bought one, too late to return, but I never ended up going to the event I bought it for :( I'll try and attach a pic Grin

This is what I bought it's a lovely green colour, it's a nice floaty material with a detachable green slip underneath x

I bought this from sainsburys the other week, lovely fit. Haven't worn it out yet thanks to the weather 😂
It's polyester and more of a drop skirt than flared though...

The Sainsbo's one is a lovely colour/print. I absolutely won't wear polyester though - and could do with short or cap sleeves in an ideal world.

The Trouva one is too pale for me and Pregnant, your one is pretty but too short. Sorry - should have said that I want knee length or midi.

I don't think it exists!

Thanks, Clanger. I quite like that but it's out of stock in a 14 and I have to be careful with vintage because I can look/feel a bit 'fancy dress'.

I've just searched green dresses on the Selfridges site - there are some real horror shows on there!

Thank you. Will have a search on Asos.

This one looks nice, not seen it in the flesh though so can't vouch for viscose type https://uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/ukcatalog/monn20/6429080714?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMILSBv-fu4gIVFIXVCh0MlgP-EAQYCiABEgKsPPD_BwE

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/06/2019 21:13

Was looking at that Monsoon one online earlier - it's one of the nicest I've seen so far.

I am too old for ASOS. There are some truly monstrous things on there!

OP posts:
PregnantOnPurpose · 16/06/2019 21:14

Asos is extremely hit and miss.

I'm only 23 and I have to be looking for something very specific to look on there Grin

Debenhams, phase eight have some really lovely green floral dresses.

TremblingFanjo · 16/06/2019 21:16

Not a real green dress? That's cruel Grin

Xiaoxiong · 16/06/2019 21:16

Here's me trying it on, I'm a large size 12

Another Phase 8 one https://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod1070111000154510+2066873911-1

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/06/2019 21:17

Sorry but the Phase Eight one is nothing like what's in my mind. Far too dressy. I'm thinking of something I can run through fields of wheat in, whilst cursing all Tories and eating strawberry tarts.

Xiaoxiong · 16/06/2019 21:18

It was ridiculously comfortable, it swished really nicely and hung well and looked fab from behind though I couldn't get a picture. It was just not quite formal enough for what I needed.

PregnantOnPurpose · 16/06/2019 21:21

@tinierclanger Is on the same page as me, the one they have just linked is absolutely beautiful!

Phase 8 have a few nice ones definitely!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/06/2019 21:21

It's lovely on you, Xia, but not what I'm after.
