I absolutely love it, but can’t seem to find anything like it.
Registry do, April.

Love the structured look - I’m a tall, muscular 14 with broad shoulders so I think it would suit.

Yep, that looks like they’ve nicked the picture in order to make a cheap knock off though.

What’s your budget?

Hanab · 16/01/2020 17:03

On the bhldn website I think it’s called it is no longer available

sorryiasked · 16/01/2020 17:19

It's not cheap but looks to be still in stock here

MummyDummyNow · 16/01/2020 17:51

It's stunning! Making me want to get married again!

Could you find a really good dressmaker and get it made?

FenellaMaxwell · 16/01/2020 18:12

How about this one from Fairy Gothmother?

A good dressmaker with experience could adapt a commercial pattern. This one's pretty good to start with. The dressmaker would need to alter the skirt to eliminate the darts but leave the fullness at the hem, and add the detailing at the waist, drop the v neck down a bit and add the horizontal pleat to the skirt, but I'd say it was achievable if you get going soon. The black version is where I'd start, and adapt from.

Eliminate the PLEATS on the skirt, not the darts. Sheesh. Typing too quickly....

Aisforharlot · 16/01/2020 20:33

Thank you so much all!
Wow, it’s super expensive and only goes up to a 12.
Definitely a trip to fairy goth mother on the cards!

It's in US sizes op so that 12 is actually a 16 in uk size.

FenellaMaxwell · 16/01/2020 21:27

Fairy gothmother have a few styles like that so I would definitely check them out. Give me a sec, will see if I can come up with some other suggestions.

Oh I almost forgot about this - there’s a company called Dig For Victory where you can design your own dress in similar styles. Their dresses are lovely: digforvictoryclothing.com/page/728076-style-guide.aspx

Rosere · 16/01/2020 21:46

I have seen that on a site and it also comes in navy!! Obviously cannot for the life of me remember what it was. I shall do a search and get back to you.

I've definitely seen that basic dress on Silkfred or another cheaper site. If I come across it I'll PM you. It looks beautiful.

FenellaMaxwell · 16/01/2020 22:26

@rosere those aren’t real. All they’ve done is lifted the pictures of the original dress from bhldn and photoshop them different colours - the versions on cheap sites are dodgy Chinese knock offs.

Rosere · 16/01/2020 22:29

@fenella too good to be true!!

Have you tried this site? You can choose your own sleeves, necklines etc, so can probably make something like that. If you add sleeves here and shorten it, would look similar? And of course they do it based on your individual measurements - I have several dresses from them, quality is decent. www.eshakti.com/shop2/Dresses/Empire-fit-and-flare-dupioni-dress-CL0068340

Neilsfavouritechilli · 17/01/2020 07:28

Please dont order from lightinthebox. Terrible quality and service.

Pajamagirl · 17/01/2020 07:31

Monsoon
Not identical , but a similar look
