Help identifying a chocolate brown graduation dress seen at Newcastle

[HydrangeaRose]

Looking for a chocolate brown dress I saw on a lady yesterday at a graduation.

chocolate brown , no collar , round neck , think buttons on the top half maybe all the way . Short sleeve . Camr in at the waist , think there was a belt in same fabric . mid length .completely plain , no print. Don’t think it was linen . Wish I had asked her where she bought it . Searched Boden , REISS , jigsaw with no look . Was it you ? You had a daughter in a green dress , blonde hair graduating at Newcastle uni at 09.00 yesterday ( Thurs ) and went to the Broad Chare for lunch as did I . Any thoughts please ?

Most of the ones online fitting that description have a collar or v neck. The only one looking similar is Shein 😩
Maybe do a Google image search of that might throw some brands up. Expect it’s a copy of something.

Try searching vinted. You can be pretty specific.

This is polka dots but seems to fit the bill otherwise:

This one doesn’t have a belt, otherwise quite similar.

Was it this from Friends Like These… (image might take a while)

I think M and S did a brown polka dot dress but it might have been earlier in the year

I was expecting OP to say “that’s it!” As the picture is so close to what she described.
OP, in what way does this dress differ to the one you saw?

as I see suggested dresses I remember things about it .
brown small discreet buttons , smooth cotton fabric not ribbed and no visible pockets on the front x

Me too ! She was with husband and a teenage son and she wore brown flat shoes . Daughter was in a green dress, long blonde hair and gorgeous! ( like they all were yesterday )
