My beautiful big sister passed away last week and I saw this dress on Dawn French’s instagram today that perfectly fulfils both the vibe of the funeral (splash of colour) and my requirements for shape/style.
i have reached out to Dawn, the stylist on the Delicious series, a couple of TV/Film contacts I have, and my most tenacious fashion bestie. All to no avail so far! Does anyone recognise the brand/designer?? Or have a lead as to where I can find out other that what I’ve already tried?! All helpful leads gratefully received 🤞🏻

I just had a thought, have you considered buying a black dress and get an alterations place to add on material around the collar and sleeves in the colours you want. It might be the case you are good at sewing. I'm not so this was an idea that came to mind. As a substitute the dress seems good that Held in a dream has spotted the one from Roman. Ah I do hope you get sorted one way or another .I think other posters have great ideas.

It’s gorgeous isn’t it, moves beautifully on too. Very understated as well with the long sleeves.

OP try Matthew Williamson Butterfly dress - spotted it in orange I think - neckline looks very similar...

So sorry for you loss - hope you find the right outfit to give you strength and resilience through this dreadful day and that it brings you confidence to get through without adding any extra stress to the day.

EDIT - PS I've managed to struggle to post this and have now got to go and find the other versions of this message that have ended up elsewhere - apologies if you spot it in random places.

Hi, there is a similar dress on Temu website that has a lighter shade of pink. This might be worthwhile taking a look at.

madaboutpurple · 11/03/2025 12:29

There is also a dress on Sosander that has a lot of pink stripes and could be useful to you. I just put black dress with pink stripe in on google and both of those had images. I was up early as I had an appointment and had some time before it.

As soon as I saw the picture I thought it looked very Gucci in style. I wouldn’t be surprised.

Mynewnameis · 11/03/2025 22:10

Fat face have one without the colour detail . I thought it did, buts it's her glasses on a scarf type thing.

Vinted have a Gucci size 12 but the details are red / navy
