Can anyone help me find a satin dress for a wedding guest

Hi all,

I'm going to a wedding in a few weeks and need a dress.

I quite like the satin dresses, Id like knee length (or there about), fitted and ruching would be good.
In terms of colour I'm open, however I don't really want black, white is out and red will be a bit "look at me".
I like the olive green colours.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm short of time and don't know where to look!

I'm in my 30's, 5ft 3, size 8, longish dark brown hair. Semi tanned after a holiday!
Thank you in advance!

I have this and I love it, don’t know whether too long though

Do you know what the bridesmaid colours are? Sage and green colours are very popular for bridesmaid dresses at the moment so I'd be wary unless I knew what colour the bride had chosen

Another cheap one and I've never heard of the brand.

Oliver Bonas have this, but I also think I saw a similar much darker green one without the tie front in store for £95ish. It doesn't appear to be on the website though, so maybe I'm misremembering

Thank you for the suggestions so far. I've nomidea about colours of bridesmaids or even if there are any. It's my partner's best friend but neither of us have met the bride. The groom to be has only net her 3x before she moved here from another country 3 weeks ago to marry him!

As PP said sage Green is very v popular atm for bridesmaids so I'd check - some of these suggestions are very close

Quiz have some. This is probably the closest colour wise with ruching but is off the shoulder rather than straps.

I think this one is lovely. Wouldn’t suit me. But might you?

I took these from this search if you are interested. There are a couple more. But I think the 2 I linked are of most interest?
