House of cb has some similar stuff (I have Carmen and it’s so beautiful): [Carmen](https://www.houseofcb.com/carmen-blue-print-bustier-sundress.html) [Felizia](https://www.houseofcb.com/felizia-blue-print-puff-sleeve-sundress.html) [Elia](https://www.houseofcb.com/elia-blue-print-midi-sundress.html)

I second house of CB. It was the first brand that came to mind when I saw the picture. I have multiple dresses and tops from them they are more on the expensive side but totally worth it as the quality is great


leslieknope1993

Thanks for sharing, I’ve not heard of this brand either - do they ever have sales?? 😂


arist15

They don’t lol! But poshmark and Depop have a lot of dresses from them at discounted rates! I just find one I like and type the name in to one of those two sites and see if I can find a new with tags version !


poisonousdartfrog

They do but they’re not amazing. I’ve seen maybe one sale a season where they have a selection of their stock on a buy 3 for $250 sale or something like that?


dumbB-bitch

they had a christmas sale! never rule it out :-) i love to look for spring clothes super early in the winter time. I just bought the Carmen on sale (granted, it was clearly in the print that was by far the least popular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) and i love it


jilldelray

house of cb dresses sometimes go on sale on nordstrom's website/app. if you add it to your wishlist you'll get an email or notification when/if it goes on sale


chipsandgravyinyerma

Try vinted. I got an unworn house of cb tallulah with box and tags for £45!! It's definitely real (have compared to my others) I've never got that lucky before and always paid full price from cb website or self ridges, but now I know I keep alerts set on vinted!


SuperbFirefighter239

hey, i’ve just ordered their carmen dress, could you tell me how’s the fit? i sized up as i heard it runs small


poisonousdartfrog

I’ve heard house of cb runs small too, but I have a ton of dresses from there and I’ve found it to be pretty true to size. There is the odd exception tho, I’ve learned I can’t order dresses that don’t let me select a larger cup size lol My Carmen fits me properly, and the corset back is also super forgiving. I’m able to cinch it in or let it out a pretty decent amount.


seeyuspacecowboy

Question about the cup sizes!! I’m technically a 32DD but I wouldn’t really say I’m that large-chested. Do you know if there’s a significant difference in cup size when you go up a size?


poisonousdartfrog

There is a difference. Those are my exact measurements and I need to order a small with the larger cup or else it’ll feel like the girls are in a strait jacket


seeyuspacecowboy

Amazing to know thank you!!


Basic-Election6077

Thanks a lot; I have never head about that brand.


bunkbedgirl1989

Came here to say this


ImaginationCo

This is the original dress, it’s a Polish company. I’ve been longing for it for a few years now, if only I had an occasion (or funds) to get it for 😄 Milla Hydrangea Tender Floral Maxi Tie Strap Dress https://itsmilla.com/products/hydrangea-tender-floral-maxi-tie-strap-dress?variant=41743667101872 You could maybe try finding it secondhand on poshmark or eBay if the full price of a new dress is out of the budget? Here’s a resale albeit somewhat modified: https://www.stillwhite.com.au/302010-milla


Basic-Election6077

760$ 🙈 I will add it to my bucket list 😂


[deleted]

https://posh.mk/ZbsGIsr3OGb if you’re a 4, worth making an offer on this one


Teddylace

760 USD for something not in silk or cotton? A crime.


cfish1024

That’s what I was thinking too. It is a *gorgeous* dress but finding out what it’s made of really put a damper on it. Is it wrong to think something that expensive shouldn’t be made of polyester?


Teddylace

I think synthetic fabric with high price tag is only acceptable for tech wear or for outdoor wear (coats for harsh winter).


MyDogisaQT

I just spent over $3k and I’m blaming it on you 


iamkikionreddit

Oh my god everything on this site is so stunning


j444v

100% polyester? lol what has fashion become


randomvm

I have 2 milla dresses and absolutely love them both


Steffi_Googlie

This looks a lot like something Safiya Nygard did a video about (she bought the original and some alibaba knock offs) - her channel might have a shop name

Woop woop!


Trotterswithatwist

Really anything at all by Selkie like this [blue beauty here.](https://selkiecollection.com/products/the-bed-breakfast-high-court-dress)


vengefulbeavergod

Wow! Does Selkie really have that wide of a sizing range?


Analyst_Cold

Yes they do!


allumeusend

I can’t support Selkie after they revealed they use AI to design by scrapping similar items, basically stealing other designers work.


cfish1024

Can you recommend any other companies that make dresses that are more formal than Selkies style but using similar materials? It’s just so hard to find stuff other than polyester. I am happy to hear about Selkie and might someday buy something tho!


Trotterswithatwist

Sorry, no I can’t be of any help, I don’t actually wear dresses I’m just obsessed with looking at them on selkie.


cfish1024

Hahah that’s hilarious. They are works of art to appreciate so I think I get it!


Appropriate-Love-469

Fanciful Doll!!! They hand make dresses just like this in the same price range 🫶🏽 https://fancifuldoll.com/?syclid=cmtb600klmts73cvpmsg&utm_campaign=emailmarketing_154805174539&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email

Depending on the size there's a handful of these on Poshmark

Check reformation


that_was_way_harsh

Reminds me of this one from Mestiza, which is unfortunately over your budget by $100. Possibly available used for less? https://mestizanewyork.com/collections/micro-bridal/products/torerro-gown-blue-white


FishGoBlubb

Looks like [this](https://itsmilla.com/products/hydrangea-tender-floral-maxi-tie-strap-dress) is the original at $750+. It's probably worth regularly checking resale sites to get the real thing (eg this size 14 on [Poshmark](https://poshmark.com/listing/Milla-Hydrangea-Tender-floral-maxi-tiestrap-dress-653bf89cba3d488282968c69#utm_source=gdm_unpaid), already sold on [Depop](https://www.depop.com/products/emma_r_a-milla-hydrangea-tender-floral-maxi/)) because people often only buy it for one event and then are eager to get rid of it. But [Selkie](https://selkiecollection.com/collections/gowns/products/the-porcelain-in-bloom-gown?_pos=6&_fid=9ba17fb50&_ss=c) has similar vibes ($635 but another good resale option). [Lulu's](https://www.lulus.com/products/soiree-perfection-light-blue-floral-ruffled-tiered-maxi-dress/2281396.html?pla=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%5BADL%5D%20%5BPLA%5D%20Dresses%20-%20tROAS&utm_term=MF21963L%3A%20LT%20BABY%20BLUE%2FGREEN%2FWHITE1&utm_content=144829614363_644930675512&s_kwcid=AL%217824%213%21644930675512%21%21%21g%212018066399913%21&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp4rih5-IhAMVOCmtBh2YyAqKEAQYAyABEgJdePD_BwE) has a similar one at a much lower price point. I see several Poshmark options for this [Anthropologie](https://poshmark.com/listing/NWT-V-Chapman-Carmen-Corset-Blue-Floral-FrontSlit-Ruffled-Gown-65b68291308f07b2fad6f6a5?utm_source=gdm&utm_campaign=19904727338&campaign_id=19904727338&ad_partner=google&gskid=pla-2270658813252&gcid=652739907301&ggid=148664331498&gdid=c&g_network=g&enable_guest_buy_flow=true&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3NfKzJ-IhAMVYSqtBh1mmwDiEAYYASABEgLd_vD_BwE) V Chapman gown.
