Please help me find a dress similar to this one (wedding guest)

I'm going to a wedding in November and love this dress from Phase Eight. I ordered it from John Lewis, then my order was cancelled due to low stock. I ordered it again from Phase Eight, and it was cancelled again due to low stock. Annoyingly, showing in stock both times.

Anyway, I'm desperately trying to find something similar. The v-neck twisty detail is a big selling point because I have a small chest. I'm looking for something long (but could be below the knee rather than floor-length), with long sleeves, and ideally dark green or navy (not black) but the dark reds work on me as well. I'd say the budget is around 120 but could stretch if it's "the one". Thank you so much for any suggestions!

They've got it in stock at Next if you're still after that actual one.

Oh wait, sorry - you haven't said what size you need but I just clicked back into it in Next and they only have an 18 or a 20.

@toomanyflapjacks Oh, I forgot to say the size! 12-14

It seems to have come back in stock very briefly (size 12), so I ordered it again. Maybe third time's the charm.

This Silk Fred one could be nice as long as you don’t splay your legs too much in church 😆

Thank you, @DasAlteLeid !!! I've been scrolling through a few different google searches, but never thought to include 'twist front'! I haven't seen either of the specific ones you suggested. They both look like possibilities. There is hope yet...

@toomanyflapjacks @DasAlteLeid My update: I was able to order the dress in my size when it got back in stock (all that panicking for nothing!). It arrived yesterday. :)

It's so kind of you both to take the time to help a stranger. I hope lovely things flow your way! x

Really lovely dress. Is it a good fit?

@DontPassMeBy I’m so pleased you managed to get your first choice ☺️ have a fantastic time at the wedding, you will look fab ❤️‍🔥

DontPassMeBy · 18/10/2022 18:07

It doesn't look quite as good as it does on the model, but it's really comfortable and glamourous. It fits well. 😊

Oh I'm sure it would if you had a stylist and lighting director there 😉

Enjoy!

That’s great news. It’s the nicest dress I’ve seen on here for ages. Glad it looks good. Nothing nicer than wearing something you love to a do. Have a lovely time.
