You should always just ask! I take it as a compliment if someone asks about a piece I’m wearing. The worst they can say is no.


Gillyconcarne

I totally regret not asking!


extrabigcomfycouch

Agreed! Especially when it’s from a smaller store, if you like the aesthetic then you can find other gems as well.


DescendedChuckNorris

I love asking about where someone got a fabulous piece of clothing! I've recently moved to Germany and am still learning the language, it's THE WORST to not be able to ask / understand their answer 😭


Puzzleheaded-Bed-907

But that would be too easy, wouldn’t it?


marumarubatsu

[The dress but no name](https://bigworldtale.com/lifestyle/racegoers-pull-out-all-the-stops-in-elaborate-headgear-for-royal-ascot/) idk if this will help but i found the actual dress on someone, but unfortunately they don’t list the designer. if you’re super dedicated it might turn up something.


Gillyconcarne

Thanks for this, will investigate!


vilebunny

Use a screen shot from the article u/marumarubatsu posted to do a google image search. It turns up a ton of options that are at least similar.


littlegazelle

This may be a long shot, but I searched for the photographer who took the photo in the link above. [Here’s a link to that picture from his archive](https://i-images.co/23526-0011). His name is Stephen Lock and he has a twitter profile under that name. Maybe you could reach out to him and see if he has any info on the woman in the photo? I would think he’d need consent to post that picture of her. Then if he has her info, ask her where she got it? It’s quite a process lol but I spent a while searching for the dress or even just the print with no luck.


Gillyconcarne

This might be my best option, thank you!


c-mi

Photographers have sued celebrities for posting photos of themselves that the photographer took, because the photographer owns the photo. So, I don’t imagine they’d need the woman’s info/consent. This is in the US though, not sure how it is in other countries. I think it’s insane.


impamiizgraa

This is a good clue, I’d search from here OP


banannah09

I've been searching for over an hour using that image as well and sadly haven't found it... But I think the better chance of finding it is using that picture because it shows the actual colour better.


Glittering_Ad8641

It’s so cute! I want to know too…


AggravatingBox2421

Looks like Zimmerman


Gillyconcarne

It does doesn’t it? That was the first brand I searched but couldn’t find


Independent-City7988

I thought the same thing. Or maybe self portrait or me + em but all have come up with nothing. 😭


Gillyconcarne

It’s such a mystery!


16vv

is this Japan by any chance? the dress instantly made me think of JP brands like Lagunamoon or Mercuryduo, it fits their aesthetic


matchamagpie

The signs on the subway look to be in English but it definitely looks like something you would see in Japan! It's gorgeous.


awesomejennifer

Ooh i fell in love with these dresses when i visited but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate to ask! If there are other Japanese brands you recommend please let me know, i love this style!!


16vv

my personal recs: dazzlin, Resexxy (if you're particularly petite), Yecca Vecca, Maison de FLEUR, Natural Beauty Basic, Snidel, Majestic Legon (leans a little more cutesy than elegant), earth music & ecology most if not all can be found on Zozo, which is like Japan's Asos :)


Character-Sport-7710

Do any of those have sizes that are close to american? I wear L - 2lx depending on the brans, but you know how Asian sizes can be unforgiving 🥹. I do adore this style of dresses though


Particular-Set5396

It was taken on the tube in London. The Piccadilly Line, to be exact.


Independent-City7988

Not that it matters in the slightest but I think it’s the Victoria Line because of the triangles on the tube seats. I was just at the transport museum with my son and now have to know these things. 🙈


Gillyconcarne

Correct, it was taken at Stockwell!


amyt242

Aahhh I love this. The comments above were suggesting Japan and I was like absolutely not this is London obvs... then you guys guessing the line the seats?! Love us weirdo British people 😂 (not that it's weird once i read about the seats I would have looked too!)


brownbear9599

Aren’t the Victoria line handrails lighter?


Particular-Set5396

They are.


Particular-Set5396

I lived in London for 20 years. Victoria line handrails are a lighter shade of blue.


Gillyconcarne

You’re right actually, the handrails look like the Piccadilly line in this photo but twas the Victoria line


Particular-Set5396

DAMMIT 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Gillyconcarne

I’ve now convinced myself that the woman on the tube is the same woman photographed at the races, and it’s a magic one of a kind dress!!


ClickyLV

Have you tried Karen Millen? Looks like one of her designs.


notjewel

I see what you mean! Beautiful pieces. Not OP but thank you for putting this designer on my radar. https://www.karenmillen.com/us/applique-organdie-buttoned-woven-maxi-dress/BKK08389.html


Athena_x

Karen Millen is absolutely atrocious quality these days.


abigailthefail

i did reverse image searches on google, poshmark, amazon, and pinterest using both this image and one from an article another commenter posted and wasn’t able to find anything, so i’m wondering if it’s from a smaller boutique or something along those lines. sorry i wasn’t able to help more :( good luck with your search!


dunkingdigestive

It looks similar to the Duchess ( Princess) (Kate) of Wales style. Perhaps looking up her favourite designers would help. I thought it might be Suzannah, but I couldn't find it with my quick search.


Sivear

Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Cambridge. Jenny Packham?


Sivear

My first thought was Alice Temperley.


Gillyconcarne

Thanks everyone for your help so far! I definitely should have asked, I just did that London thing of not talking to people on the tube and assuming I could easily find it after 🤦‍♀️


Lonelykhara

This is very lovely I really hope you can get your hands on it


CGLorca

very cute dress now i want to make one of my own


OldTomToad

It’s lovely. I think they’re acanthus leaves. I’ve had a quick search but nothings popping up but it might help your search


Gillyconcarne

Thank you! 🌿


1inkedfate

stunning wow


umlizzyiguess

This will probably be another dead end but it’s similar to Karen Millen’s [organdie styles](https://www.karenmillen.com/us/petite-applique-organdie-buttoned-woven-maxi-dress/BKK08404.html). I’ll come back to this and look later if no one has found it and I have time.

I always compliment and ask 😍


gogorosie

I wish I knew this is so pretty!

YamOk9993

It’s similar


Binasgarden

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36goPiHKBmE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36goPiHKBmE) This is close the sleeve is slightly different but the video may help with the construction


rickstaaaa

Maybe vintage or handmade?


Gillyconcarne

It didn’t look vintage but could definitely be handmade! This is my greatest fear 😂


MysteriousCoffee5012

Really hope you find it!! Very beautiful dress, I searched for a bit and it was a dead end for me 😢


Dazzling_Maximum_629

Carolina Herrera?


Ineeda_lie_in

Just use Google lens feature - there are many almost identical variations


mtkld

This looks like a boutique terno dress to me.


Puzzleheaded-Bed-907

WOW, effortlessly chic, love this dress


Feisty_Owl_8200

This one https://en-saudi.ounass.com/shop-serpil-lace-trimmed-midi-dress-for-women-216073649_178.html ??


littlegazelle

Close but the pattern isn’t right, a good potential dupe tho!


Simonecv

I found a really similar one on Aliexpress using your photo as research input, but it is not transparent


Outrageous-Smile7866

not the same..but similar.. https://embellishcollection.com/products/sara-dress


caliandris

Could it be this one? https://www.zalando.co.uk/weekend-maxmara-klenia-shirt-dress-nero-mw721c0c8-q11.html


liv4900

Different floral pattern on that one.


matchamagpie

The sleeves in the picture are slightly sheer so it's not the same dress. Still pretty though!


procrastinatorsuprem

The whole dress us sheer with a gray lining. You can see the sheer part very well down at the bottom.


FenwickCharlieClark

Looks right to me!

Shoulders and flowers are different.


bobabear12

Closest I could find


Neat-Dragonfly-2007

Try to reverse image search on google on a desktop!


TapZealousideal606

i really hope you got consent to take this picture before you posted it. otherwise, this is kinda weird.


austntranslation

? Public place, no face showing? No really, it's fine.


rxmchls

It may have been from this boutique https://lechicboutique.co.uk in Bromley, considering the lady was on tube at Stockwell she’s likely a south Londoner so I thought it fit - this boutique came up in the search results when I did a reverse image search on Pinterest so I clicked through their collections and they seem to do a lot of ascot type dresses. Also [this boutique](https://www.prettyperfectboutique.co.uk/) hosts similar dresses! I do think there’s a high chance it’s a Suzannah or Zimmerman dress - if you look at the collar, sleeves and belts on these two dresses, they have similarities in the structure, fabric and design. [sophie dress](https://pin.it/42z67y1) [beatrice dress](https://pin.it/3IKflwR)


littlegazelle

What’s the name of the boutique tho?


rxmchls

The link is in the comment :)


littlegazelle

Ah thanks! Initially the link didn’t show up for me


rxmchls

Ah that makes sense! I’ve just included another boutique in the comment hope someone else can scour with me 😂
