Patterned silk dresses - Réalisation Par? Where else?

Has anyone seen any nice silk dresses around? Knee-length or longer, probably wrap or tea style, or a slip dress but with thicker not spaghetti straps. A pattern is a must as I’m inevitably covered in sticky toddler fingerprints. I’m sweltering in heat and humidity (Italy) and silk is by far the comfiest thing to wear.

I really like the silk wrap/midi dresses from Réalisation Par but they’re so expensive and look pretty transparent - has anyone tried them?

Gabrielle Parker has gorgeous patterned silk mix dresses in a variety of styles.

I’m a 6-8 and fairly petite.

I’ll have a look at Gabrielle Parker, thanks.

That John Lewis one is beautiful! And Size 8!

Another vote for Gabrielle Parker. Brora have some beautiful silk dresses, and LK Bennett might be worth a look.

Have you looked at From Future? French brand who do a lot of affordable silk dresses.

OhRosalind · 11/07/2021 10:53

Thanks for the From Future suggestion, I’ve never heard of them but they have loads of great options in the sale.

L K Bennet

LK bennet has some really pretty dresses but too pricey for me, I’ll have a look second-hand though.

La Double J have beautiful patterned silk dresses... Not cheap though!

OhRosalind · 11/07/2021 23:08

Wow those Double J ones are stunning. Definitely out of my budget though. I can’t even afford the aperitivo tray, let alone the stunning seventies maxi to go with it!
