Recommendations on budget silk, satin or mikado dresses?
Hello all! Have been lurking on this sub for a while, and have seen y’all find some GORGEOUS dresses from various places. However, I’ve noticed that a majority of them tend to be lacy, chiffon-y or have a lace overlay - beautiful, but unfortunately not my style.
I’m wondering if anyone has found their dream silk, satin, mikado, or otherwise textureless dress from a budget retailer? If so, I’d love to hear your first hand experiences!
Some places I’ve looked -
- Etsy: I saw that most reviewers on Reddit recommend VickyMermaidBridal and Lacemarry, both of whom carry mostly lacy styles
- Azazie, Lulus, Cocomelody: There are a handful of non lace styles, but I’m unsure of the quality - does anyone have first hand experience with these?
- Anthropologie/BHLDN/Jenny Yoo: They do have a number of gorgeous silky dresses, but unfortunately as a big busted gal their lack of boning/structure in the bust makes them not an ideal choice.
My personal dream dress (in case y'all have better internet research skills than me 🙈) is <$500 US, halter neckline, lace-up back, natural waistline... but would love to hear your recommendations! If you've gotten a satin dress yourself, if you know of any reputable retailers, etc etc!
Thanks so much!
