Help me find this dress (or one like it!)

[rachll]

I'm off to a wedding in May and need a new dress. I found a picture of this dress online but couldn't find the name of the shop to buy it anywhere

Does anyone know where to get something similar? Or what this cut/ style of dress is called? Help!

Lovely! Right up my street. What's your budget? It's very similar to certain dresses by Suzannah, but they are £££.

Thanks nowlook! My budget is £150 max.

I just did a reverse image search on that photo, it's been around since at least 2014 so probably not available any more, sadly.

I'd look for something like formal or structured skater dress - I know Ted Baker often use that sort of thick fabric for dresses.

Thanks Abelino! I'd forgotten about reverse image searching!

Similar style but wrong colour

Thanks Raera! I'm not especially hung up on any colour, so all suggestions are welcome!
I do quite like the thicker fabric and more body look of my original picture but I can't seem to find that look anywhere

Sister jane from memory do similar poofy skirts.

Asos can be a good place to start, even just for ideas or brands as they have such a gigantic range.

My last post should have read "more boxy look"!

Thanks Krong and Raera - I'll check out your suggestions.

Try Chi Chi. Have a look at "bardot dress"

Ooh thank you Happyhammy! Lots of ideas on chi chi website

Yes they are good prices too

Have you ever ordered from them HappyHammy? Are they good quality? Easy returns/ exchanges if stuff doesn't fit?

Have you tried Vintage Vixen she had a original 1950s similar style dress on her website, she is on Facebook and Instagram

No sorry I haven't but website says free returns which you can also do via Asda which is handy. I'm looking for dresses too so just saw their site.

Was going to come on and say chi chi London too. My bridesmaids wore dresses from there and they were lovely.

And yes we had to exchange one for a different size and it was fine.

Thanks FAQs, I'll check out Vintage vixen. x

Thanks ShesGotBetteDavisEyes, it's always good to get personal recommendations!

Isn’t that what would be described as a tulip dress?
I just did a quick search under that and found this one which I think is quite nice.
