Next update to the ongoing saga lol. So she’s decided she really wants this color for her bridesmaids, so I’m probably not going to wear this for the wedding, which is TOTALLY FINE. I knew that was a good possibility going in so I’m completely ok with it. I have a gorgeous new dress that I never would have found otherwise so I’m still thrilled with the purchase! I asked her if she had a color preference for me and she suggested navy. I love navy - and are you ready for this? The dress was also made in navy. Shut. The. Front. Door. I’ve already found one in a size 2 for $45. I’m tempted but the purple 0 fits so perfectly I’m not sure I want to deal with alterations. But what if it’s the only one out there? Do I buy this for insurance in case I can’t find the other size? Ugh. I have exactly zero experience in the world of designer resale. Since I’ve now seen the quality of the dress and tried it on, I’m happy to pay a higher price for a blue one. I do already own a dark blue/navy lace dress so I won’t go naked if I hold out for a 0 in this one. Thoughts? Oh and I am DEFINITELY going to still dance around the kitchen in the purple one. ********* Update #2 no words necessary UPDATE I sent a picture to my DIL to be, with the preface that I hadn't been able to turn it down and would happily wear whatever she preferred, and she responded with GORGEOUS!! Yes yes wear it!! It will fit in perfectly!! Now all I have to do is pray it fits. I looked at the ebay listing again and the measurements given are not at all what the online size chart said, so I'm a bit anxious. Will be on pins & needles until it gets here. But anyhoo - yay!! Original O/P: My son proposed to his girlfriend today and I am head over heels in love with this dress for their wedding. I realize the chances of finding it are slim to none but I won’t be able to get it out of my head until I know for sure. Can anyone help?? Pleeeeeease??!! pin.it/yssqe2vpbygx46

The pin was saved by Hautelook, which is a nordstrom outlet, so if it's not at Hautelook, nordstrom, or nordstrom rack, I'm not sure where else to look for it.

Congratulations!
I love the color! Weird that the lace in the neckline is ripped in that photo.

Congratulations! I love the color! Weird that the lace in the neckline is ripped in that photo. Exactly what I thought. The dress is pretty and fine for one event. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a dress for my child’s wedding that I will only wear once. It’s a big deal! But that kind of lace won’t dry clean well. It gets raggedy and you see breaks in the lace like in the photo.

Yes. All 869 items with the ‘dresses’ tag. But if someone else can find it I’d be thrilled!!!

Both are pretty, but the one mom26 found should be a nice substitute for you.

I'm kind of thinking it might have been a past season dress since the HauteLook link doesn't take you straight to the dress. It would have been nice if they had been able to save it with a brand name-- at least then you could see if someone else has it, or search eBay for it or something.

That dress was posted in 2015-2016 so you probably won't find it, sadly. The one posted above is available on Macy's
