Need HELP finding something for MOTB!

[CaliPoppy]

If anyone's bored or really loves to shop online, I could really use some help finding something for my mom. So my mom found a dress that she loves (and it looks great on her) It's a black and silver print, A-Line cocktail dress. She really wants to find a knee-length silver coat to wear over it. We found one at Siri, but it's really pricey ($380) The problem is I can't find anything else like it for a reasonable price. I would love some help if anyone is down for it. I've tried every internet search combination I can come up with.

Here is the coat I'm trying to beat (picture it in silver silk)...

I saw this yesterday and was trying to find something less expensive. I haven't had a lot of time to search, but I'm keeping an eye out!

[Mel]

this may sound crazy, but have you tried to contact a seamstress directly? someone may be able to make one at a way lower cost.

[BizBis]

Oh! Good call Mellie!

:word: to Mel. Looking at the pictures, what makes the coat special seems to be the fabric, but otherwise it's just a 3/4-length-sleeved coat. I'm not saying it's not nice, just that you can probably find a very similar pattern, and similar fabric (if you go for something other than silk, that will bring down the cost too).

My Mom went shopping with my Dad and found this. I haven't seen it in person yet, but it looks pretty in the pictures and I totally trust her taste!

I think the silver will look gorgeous with the blue and red theme.

Looks very pretty and I'm glad she came up with a solution she likes :yes:

I talked to your mom last night Lauren and she still isn't sure. :lol: She really loves the black and silver dress still. :lol:
