I love the way Frankie dresses and have my heart on a particular dress she wore in Season 3 (for her art exhibition) to wear at my sons wedding! Not necessarily in black!!
I've scoured the internet and am now out of ideas!! Can anyone help? Have you seen anything similar anywhere? Similar stuff?
Thanks in advance!! smile

Not much help I m afraid I ve never heard of the lady and the dress wouldn’t be to my taste I can’t imagine how you can find out if you re tried all internet options unless you can find a clever seemstress who could manage to make something similar to the picture

GrannyCarrots if you've scoured the internet, I presume that includes ASOS - I believe that stands for "As Seen On Screen" smile

There's another similar website, "Worn on TV": wornontv.net/

Well, I've never heard of her, but I hope you find what you're looking for.

Would you wear different shoes with it? They look a bit clumpy for a wedding (although I'd wear them for every-day).

I don’t know the programme af all, but it looks as if she wears the sort of oversized “Lagenlook” dresses?

Have a look at Oska, (can't do links!) otherwise as suggested, have a look in the pattern books and find a dressmaker

GrannyCarrots Wed 04-Apr-18 18:23:25

Me too!!! I'm having fun looking for jewellery!!

Jalima1108 Wed 04-Apr-18 19:29:58

And shoes?

GrannyCarrots Thu 05-Apr-18 08:16:25

Jalima1108 not sure yet about shoes ~ I'll have to see if I can find the dress or similar!! No luck so far, but thanks to grannysyb and Tilly1234 for the suggestions! Not given up yet though!

GrannyCarrots Thu 05-Apr-18 08:23:54

and thanks to GrannyKnot...unfortunately they don't cover Grace and Frankie!! I will check out QVC too, paddyann~thank you!
Frankie Bergstein (for those who don't know!) is from a Netflix series 'Grace and Frankie' and I would definitely recommend to anyone who hasn't watched it!

Jalima1108 Thu 05-Apr-18 19:25:44

we haven't got Netflix
perhaps we should!

I’m with Jalima re: the shoes.

I love the clothes on Grace + Frankie. Not just Frankie's but Graces, Brianna's + Mallory's.
Beautiful!

Yes. I love Frankies clothes and her jewllery.

You would need to be both tall and slim to get away with a dress like this, otherwise you would look like a brace of ferrets in a sack.

I am too short to wear anything like that, but I have a cousin who would look stunning in it.

you can also try sites like "Famous Outfits" "Costume Wall" "Catches App" "Style Snap" "The Take AI"

What about finding a dressmaker? Take a picture of the dress. And maybe pictures of others in a similar style that you like.

It WOULD be expensive, BUT probably not more than you'd pay for a designer dress.

Alternatively, find a wedding dress maker. They would be VERY used to having pictures produced and finding patterns to put together or to hack to develop a dress to a clients desires.
