Teal chemise? Can any one find this cheaper?

Hi, I'm looking for something similar to this but cheaper. So I love the colour combination or alternatively the other way round. I'm ideally looking for a chemise and matching gown.

Couldn't find any chemises in teal, except for a cheap one on Amazon, and for the kimono this is the nearest I could see.www.etsy.com/uk/listing/737606527/long-wedding-robe-long-bridal-robe-long?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=teal+kimono&ref=sr_gallery-1-9

@goose1964 thank you! I just wanted something where it was two colours but not black. Those with two colours seem to be really expensive.

I'd check if that Etsy listing is actually silk as they seem to alternate between silky and silk and nowhere does it explicitly say, 100%silk.

Have a look on eBay, there's always loads of old stock Marjolaine on there for about a 1/4 of the price and they don't really change styles all that much. Important to know your size in the brand though. Itst French sizing so it tends to come up small (especially in the bust area) and I personally prefer a roomier fit in my sleepwear so you need to take that in account if that's the case for you too.

@botemp size will be an issue as I'm a size 14/16 and 38GG bust so I'd want something similar but roomy.

Marjolaine is quite size inclusive, especially by French standards. If you see this listing on their site, the model's measurements are approximately a size 16 uk and they do much larger sizes than the one she is wearing but fr46 (which the model wears) seems to be the usual cut off point for most of the dressier items. There's a size guide here and by the look of it you need to go by waist size. I've also spotted they have an 'archives' section in the drop down menu which is like an online outlet.

Did you check eBay already? The seller lingeriesprivees34 has loads in different sizes. The chemises go from around €50-80. Tbh that's a really low price because it is really high quality silk satin. A matching set is going to be more challenging but that's the cost of paying less, I suppose.

They're based in France and you can return it, if you sign up to PayPal's return service they will cover the return costs, but you have to activate it before buying (it's free).
