This sort of style but in silk?

[Mytholmroyd]

I need your help!

Does anyone know where I might find this style of dress - V-neck, floaty mid- maxi length skirt (doesn't have to be pleated), sleeves (don't have to be full length but longer than short) but in silk chiffon or a lovely natural fabric mix?

It's for an early summer informal country wedding.

5'7" mother of the bride won't be wearing high heels as lots of grass, preferably blue or green pallete - no red/yellow/orange/brown/black/white although don't mind a bit in a colour mix.

Budget up to £500

darn it, now I've just bought the Jilly dress on NRBY and I'm not supposed to be shopping!

This site has lovely silk clothes and very good quality:

They do! That was one of the first places I looked - but they're either too short, wrong colour or too 'slinky' - there is a couple of lovely ivory ones but obviously can't wear that!

I love the olive dress but way above my pay grade!

Yes not cheap! I sent the bright yellow pleated short one to DD2 as its just her thing and in the sale.

If you'd consider cotton, google Ulla Johnson

How about this? Might be a bit too informal and not a v neck but might suit?

But and send back if not right

It is! And lovely too. This is a new name to me - not heard of the make before - thank you!

Thanks @Sunholidays that's another previously unknown shop to me! I like this one

Sorry meant to add the screenshot

Have you looked at Rixo? The quality isn't as nice as Saloni, but it's pretty nice, much lower price point, and I think they do a lot of silk.

That was one my list! I got a couple of winter work dresses from Poetry last year and they are great.

I have @user9876543211 - it is a make I found out about from Style and Beauty! Just not sold on one completely - I like the blue Linette but it's out in my size and the Rose were it not backless. But it's definitely the look I would like. Just not very many in green or blue which I would prefer - lots of red and pink but not convinced I want those colours. Red is a bit look at me and it's not my day and probably will jar with the bridesmaids ( not that anyone is telling me what to wear!)

Way under budget but beautiful dresses here

This one is short sleeve but they have plenty of styles

The OP is looking for silk or natural fabric dresses

Just didn’t think it would be a crime to share a link where the styles meet quite a few of the other requirements 🤷🏽‍♀️ sometimes if the right item isn’t forthcoming, people end up changing their parameters a little…

Well no not a crime but a bit ridiculous when OP herself posted a dress she liked that met her nearly all her requirements except for the fabric! ( which is her main requirement)

Ok well sorry for being ridiculous, I consider myself told.

OP I hope you find something x

These are in the Suzannah sample sale. This is the wrong colour https://www.suzannah.com/products/paige-dress-pink-silk-cady-sample-sale
and this is silk crepe

But you might like the style? If so there’ll be more in their in their sales which might fit the bill.

There are some lovely styles on there @Hullabalooza you are right but yes I really wanted silk or perhaps a silk/viscose/rayon/linen mix. I have bought polyester dresses soamy times before and always end up a bit disappointed as they don't feel, drape or wear as special as they look in the photos and for this special day I wanted to be totally happy with my dress.
