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?

topshop

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:03

what does Topshop have against bras?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:05

Oliver bonas I’ve tried this on and the neckline wasn’t as weirdly high on me. Mind you, I’m 5’2”, not model height.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:08

jacquard I’ve tried this on too and it was amazing in real life - heavy material, more green than brown, quite smart. The model looks silly in trainers because it’s not a trainers dress. I was too broke to buy it but I loved it. And it has pockets!

leopard, not floral

Verite1 · 17/06/2019 20:12

I have the maje one linked by Viviene. It’s beautiful but comes up small. I had to size up.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:14

I like the shape

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/06/2019 20:15

I like the leopard Warehouse one, but I'm coveting flowers.

I also like the second Oliver Bonas one but it's half polyester and not the snazzy coloured print I'm hoping for. I might try it on though!

cotton but not floral

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/06/2019 20:16

Love the neckline of the Urban Outfitters one.

And love the striped cotton UO one. I will definitely investigate those! :)

Maybe it's to go with a Picasso or a Garfunkel...?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:23

not as much waist as I need

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:30

whistles?

I love this dress but not sure I'm brave enough to wear avocados...

I know it's not REALLY green but this is GORGEOUS!! Also stupidly expensive. Sorry.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:35

is polyester lining out too?

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:39

slightly matronly print

hugoagogo · 17/06/2019 20:39

nice, but is it green enough?
Bowden maybe

hugoagogo · 17/06/2019 20:47

I am strangely drawn to this!

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:53

Warehouse via Next

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 20:58

hush, rayon

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 17/06/2019 21:08

pretty! Bit expensive, though

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/06/2019 21:35

I really like the Pom one but too £££ and might be a dress that wears me. Nothing else is right- lots of nice dresses but none of them the dress that's in my head.
