Prom dress inspiration

Apologies, no idea what topic this falls under so please advise if it should go elsewhere. Struggling to find a prom dress for my 16yr old for next month. She wants a low back, drak green, navy or burgundy, with straps and not hourglass. The one she liked gaped at the back when tried on. Tried Ever Pretty and Coast, not sure where else to look. Budget £100. The one she liked is this one. She's size 6. Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks.

This hasn't got as low a back, but the silhouette is similar and it should avoid the gaping. Elle Merlot A-Line with Pockets Maxi Satin Dress | Azazie UK

DD got her prom dress for 6th form from Babyboo. It’s an Aussie company but fairly quick delivery (around 7-10 days) and there is loads of choice with lots of different colour combinations. Well made too.

Only thing I would say is that refunds tend to be store credit rather than money back. DD is a size 6 and the XS was good for her.I’m

OP if she likes the dress you've linked to, why wouldn't she buy that one?

She says in the OP that it gaped at the back when her DD tried it on.
