This sort of style but in silk?

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

Thank you so much everyone 💐- was a bit nervous about posting on here but you have down me proud and I have picked up some new dress shops I didn't know about previously.

Am sure from all these I will get a gorgeous dress. Already have a couple on order!

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.

Oh wow! Those are lovely - just had a look on the main site and there some stunning dresses but a little out of my price range. All the samples are 6/8.

Just sent it to DD3 (who is a 6/8) and who is really into vintage and we are ooohing and ahhing over them.

You've already had loads of fab suggestions but I dont think anyone has mentioned Lora Gene - they do a lot of silk dresses in lovely colours - quite spendy but within your budget.

I bought an absolutely beautiful Paige one last year from Harvey Nichols (but Harrods had the same dress in a different colour. https://www.shopstyle.co.uk/g/women/paige/terrazza-floral-print-silk-midi-dress-multicoloured-8-uk12-m/1010610422

Unfortunately this year they only seem to have more casual dresses but it might be worth looking on outlet sites etc

Thank you @Sarri again, not a make I was aware of - they are a bit 'slip' like in the main and possibly a bit young for me but I absolutely love the black chiffon Ava dress! Would be great for evening dos!

Thanks @Comefromaway - another good option and new name - struggling to find anything available in my size but I will have a trawl through Outlet sites as you suggest.
