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 ?

If it was my daughters I would know all the details 😂 but as it was my sons …. No chance, wouldn’t have a clue about any detail . ( I liked this other dress so much I was thinking of buying to put away for hers next )

My guess would be Mint Velvet. I asked someone at DD's graduation about the dress she was wearing last week and it was MV from last year.....it was exactly what I'd been looking for but couldn't find! I'll be stalking Vinted. Good luck OP!

I have a chocolate brown dress from Max Mara which sounds similar. I bought it in 2022 I think and have lived in it each summer. Try googling Max Mara / Weekend Max Mara brown T shirt dress and some newer options might be similar to the lady’s dress?

Sleeves are right , buttons are wrong . Thanks for trying . Think I need 3 and then take the sleeves off one , skirt off another . I will hopefully find later in the year on Vinted when everyone is selling on . Appreciate the effort everyone who has replied has gone to .

What length was the dress-short midi mXi

I would say midi on the lady , she wasn’t tall , maybe around 5,4 and it was about half way between knees and ankles . She had it in with brown woven ballet flats .
