I wore a dress very similar to this for a wedding evening do. It was over 20 years ago though. Think I got it at River Island miss that shop.

Thanks for the suggestions @Kickingupmerrybehaviour I should have specified I will need to be able to wear a bra, so the first one is out sadly; the ebay one is a possible, wonder what the fabric is like?

Excellent work, @User2344 ! I far prefer that dress to the Agnes B one.

Much better choice. The Agnes B one was Polyamide whereas the one you bought is 100% silk!

Omg that is beautiful 😍

So glad I could be of service and hope the dress fits :)

I know, I was originally looking for a silk one and looked at Lilysilk but they didn't have a colour in a style that really grabbed me - or they were too "nightie"-like slip dresses.

HamstersAreMyLife · 21/05/2023 20:29

Lovely dress, I have a very similar one from next or m&s but from over 11 years ago and i still love it. Hope the one you got is good!
