Doesn't seem to be online, similar-ish dress by them here;

blog.tribaspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/46d1fd6b-7957-4be1-beda-2e61b64832ee.jpg

No idea where you'd find it on the high street though...

zanz1bar · 23/05/2010 11:29

Anything similar in style, not so taken on the colour, could be mistaken for a fat bean pole.

Sure I saw something in Monsoon in Blue but cant seem to find it now.

wigglybeezer · 23/05/2010 21:27

I had the same reaction, however i would have to wear ten inch heels with it. I love green.

I had the same reaction this morning when I saw it too, zanz1bar .

Good luck with the search

boogeek · 23/05/2010 21:40

I did exactly the same when I opened the magazine - it is so beautiful! Hope you find one.

moondog · 23/05/2010 23:12

It was lovely wasn't it?

I like this emerald green beauty very much too.

bunsandroses · 24/05/2010 10:38

i absolutely loved it as well, would be perfect for a wedding i am going to this weekend. I have already checked on ebay, nothing. The only thing i can think is to show it to a dress maker and have it made. It is absolutely stunning, i'm thinking about selling a kidney.
