Floral dress

Hello, can anyone help me find a dress that is similar to this one: www.thereformation.com/products/kourtney-dress/1306182FRO.html?dwvar_1306182FRO_color=FRO&quantity=1

But is less expensive. I think that price for viscose is a bit much! Willing to go up £100 or there abouts for the right dress.

TIA

No suggestions - but wanted to say it beautiful (sadly my norks never fit in these dresses) 😕

This one?

SameToo · 19/01/2022 18:53

@hivemindneeded is that the same dress? Or is it a version of it? I can’t even tell it’s so similar!

I think it's the same dress.

Aliexpress is the Chinese equivalent of Amazon. It can be a bit dodgy but it can also be fine. I've ordered stuff from them before. Might take a bit of time to arrive. I would chance it with that dress as you will only have lost out on £20-30 if it doesn't match the image.

Where do we think high street stores get their clothes from? China. India. This is the wholesale price.
I've seen dresses on Shein that are £15 identical in every way to dresses in high end stores retailing at ten times the price.

Unless it is silk or cashmere and you want to guarantee it's no fake, look for the wholesale price. Anything made of viscose etc is liable to come from a central wholesaler. Lots of products are identical but pitched to different attract markets. DS2 works in fashion and is always telling me this. He thinks Aliexpress is OK. Not great but worth a punt.

Ah wow, it’s a beautiful dress. I wish I had the figure/colouring for it! Hope you can find something op.

If it's for a special event would you consider renting? I've used ByRotation and HURR recently for events and they have lots of reformation things online.

I know a dress like this I really would only wear once or twice so renting has been more cost effective rather than letting it sit in the wardrobe never to be worn again.!

@hivemindneeded very good points. Part of the reason I didn’t buy the one I posted was it’s not the type of material I’d spend a lot of money on.

@BillyAndTheSillies I hadn’t even thought of that! Thank you.
