Want a Green Dress

[Ellarain]

Hello,

I'm hoping you wonderful mumsnettets can help me. I have just been given a date for my sons First Holy Communion. It's in 3 weeks... Yikes. My favourite colour is green and it suits me so would love a dress in that colour.

I'm 5ft 4 and a size 12,big bust so need a V neck or of the shoulder. I love wrap dresses as they suit me. Jumpsuits so long as they are made well. Skater styles or anything to busy is a no.

Please help me find something.

Mumsnetters!!!

how about this?

I've just bought this for a wedding:

They also do similar with a black net overlay.

I just googled 'green wrap dress' and lots of lovely-looking things came up! Do any of those appeal?

sorry, I meant this link:

@saya000, yes love that, totally my style. It doesn't look like they do it in my size though and wouldn't have time to buy the bigger size and get it altered. I've never bought from Shein, what is the quality and sizing like?
@IWantAllTheDogsInTheWorld, it's a beautiful dress but it wouldn't suit my body shape.

Not a wrap dress but I recently bought this, very generous on the boobs, elasticated waist v flattering and comfy, great sleeves. Might come up long on you, it's a gorgeous jewelly shade of green: www.zara.com/uk/en/pleated-dress-p09878151.html?v1=108949265

How about this? Reduced to half price in the sale

I have this and it is gorgeous on, in a beautiful fabric www.hobbs.com/product/tara-dress/0220-5437-3655L00-FIELD-GREEN.html#cgid=clothing-dresses-green&is=false&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=0220-5437-3655L00-FIELD-GREEN&pos=12

This Palava one is gorgeous. It's a bit pricy, but their ethical credentials are very good. Did I mention it's gorgeous?

I love their knitwear!

Am guessing you might be in Ireland? I miss Bravissimo - haven't shopped there since Brexit + the closure of their Belfast shop. However a special occasion like a communion, that's different.

yeah I just saw the size wasn't right, such a shame, as it is a lovely dress.

I haven't bought a lot from shein, but the few things I have bought have been pretty nice and comfortable. it's a good place to look if you want something specific. I would say if you do buy something from there, just check the reviews and the measurements of the dress in detail.
I haven't bought anything that wasn't reviewed with a photo yet. The standard delivery came in about a week.

is it emerald green dresses you are looking for? Do you need to be covered up for the christening?

That link didn't work properly - it was supposed to bring you to the green dresses.
