Please help me find a quality version of this dress

Hi,
I need a dress for a wedding this summer.
I love the colour of this dress and the v neck line.

But I think the material will look very cheap in real life. Please help me find this dress or even a jumpsuit with a similar shape and colour to this but with a more quality looking material. I have no idea about what materials to look for. Or what shapes to search for.

Better still would be if the waist was a bit higher to conceal my tummy! I'm 5'6 size 12 if that makes a difference.

Thank you

I found this one in linen with a higher sitting waist but not sure if linen is wedding appropriate enough if it's very formal. (And must admit I'm a bit skeptical of Etsy these days, not sure how independent small business this is).

Depending on budget, Diane Von Furstenberg is worth looking at, she pretty much made the wrap dress what it is today and does a very high quality version of it. You can find them in discount places like tkmaxx or the Outnet/Yoox as well.

Not the most exciting colours available but this might work too in silk.

@botemp that is a beautiful dress...but yes not sure if I'd be able to jazz it up brought to make dressy enough for a wedding. Good shout about Diane Von Furstenberg...I hadn't come across them before I'm looking on vinted for that. Thank you!!

I'm not keen on the reformation one. Looks a bit drab.

@Maarlia I'm not sure about that sort of look/dess as I think I'm a bit to broad and flabby for satin in that cut. Thanks for looking though.
