This is way over budget but perhaps you can find something similar. I love this for a desert wedding

Op here, yes, the bolded is exactly the one I started with before posting, unfortunately I think they're sold out of my size. This is the general look I'm going for. But also hoping to find a brand that might not be on my radar.

A pp linked to Sundance, and while I didn't love the linked dress this one could also work. But it's TOTALLY in my comfort zone so maybe a little boring. https://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/zelie+eyelet+dress.do

The bolded is perfect OP. They have regular, petite and plus sizes available. Colors and style are perfect. The Sundance dress is too casual and more of a coverup for beach;pool.

Wow, that dress has gone from every size available to totally sold out since I posted it last week. Wonder how much that has to do with DCUM?

I really love the Corinne Maxi dress from Marine Layer, and the Naomi dress from Michael Stars, but they might be too casual.

Who pays 125$ for such dress? Looks like night gown.

OP back - I'm so happy to see all of the sizes back in stock for this one (the bolded favorite from above): https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/maeve-keyhole-halter-maxi-dress?category=dresses&color=038&type=STANDARD&quantity=1

I just ordered that one and also these, for options:
https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/hutch-high-low-wrap-midi-dress?category=dresses&color=011&type=STANDARD&quantity=1&size=S
https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/plenty-by-tracy-reese-printed-halter-maxi-dress?category=dresses&color=082&type=STANDARD&quantity=1&size=S
https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/tiered-halter-maxi-dress4?category=dresses&color=041&type=STANDARD&quantity=1&size=S
https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/crochet-trimmed-maxi-dress?category=dresses&color=266&type=STANDARD&quantity=1&size=XS - loved this but will most certainly be too small on me with the only size available, sadly

I like your choices, OP. Too bad about the last one, that's pretty.
Please check back and let us which one you pick.

Thanks. I just went back to the site and they're showing some limited stock in my size for that last one so I just ordered another! Will certainly report back here. Thanks to everyone who provided ideas! Now I just need to order my daughter's flower girl dress, but at least the bride gave us some links to choose from.

Op back with an update, really all of the dresses I ordered could have worked but these are my final two contenders. Leaning towards the second just bc it's a little less my usual style. Anthro for the win!

I couldn’t get the second link to work; did you mean this one, OP?

https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/crochet-trimmed-maxi-dress?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=266&searchparams=q%3Dcrochet%2520trimmed&type=STANDARD&quantity=1

I love them both, but fully support the second! It’s gorgeous!
