Please help me find a full eveningwear maxi skirt

I’m in need of help please, I need an outfit to wear to Glyndbourne and I’m a bit fatter than I’d like to be. I fancy wearing a full floor length skirt with a simple top that matches, in the hopes I can still wear the skirt in future when I’ve lost some weight and just replace the top if necessary.

I love the shape and style of this one but it’s too expensive, can anyone help me find a similar skirt or dress that could work? Size 14, budget up to around £200. https://chcarolinaherrera.com/gb/en/item/flared-taffeta-maxi-skirt-red-m490710183-1

I like strong jewel colours, ideally not red or black. Thank you!

Go on vinted and search ‘coast ballgown maxi skirt’ - there are loads and they are fabulous.

Search The Elegant stylist on instagram. She has quite a few of those with retail details.

Oh thank you all! That’s really kind and lots of great ideas.

Some on Etsy too, either silk taffeta or duchess satin

A few here. The Jasper Conran and Wolf and Badger are cotton but have the advantage of being known brands. The JP is only in black W&B have different colours.

I don't know anything about the other brands I've linked to.

fyi @Skirthelp the autumn season is more "smart casual" rather than black tie, don't worry too much 🙂
