About Z. Amanda Chen
Expertise
I have always been interested in fashion and actually design/redesign some of my own clothes. Since I'm a teen, I can answer questions relating to teenage fashion, what kinds of clothes make you look older or younger than what you actually are, and where you can find bargains that resemble designer clothes. However, since I'm usually focused on the new, I don't know much about vintage clothing. Additionally, although I know a lot about skirts, shorts, and shoes, outerwear fashion is beyond me.

Experience
I design or redesign some of my own clothes, and I am constantly trying out new looks. Additionally, I've also learned quite a few fashion tricks on how to stand out and how to blend in.

Education/Credentials
None.

Question
you might have been asked this before because it is very popular but i have seen the new film Atonement and i have fallen in love with Keira Knightleys Emerald green dress and i would really like to know where i would be able to find a similar version. There would need to be some differences however because i have a very full bust, i measure a 32G, unlike Mrs Knightley and i don't think very many people are the same size as her either, i am a size 10-12. Thank you very much i hope you can help me:)Ellie

Answer
Wow Ellie!  It seems like you have quite the curves.  I'm envious!  BTW, this is the first prom dress question I've gotten this year, so congrats, you're first!

Now, before you read any further, please understand that I couldn't find an exact match for Ms. Knightley's dress ANYWHERE (after looking through 1780 dresses, and I'm not even kidding).  Usually with celebrity dresses like these, it'll take at least one year before someone makes a replica to sell.  However, I did find some close matches, which I assume is what you're looking for (as the most distinguishing feature of the dress is its scarf tie).  But, these dresses will probably be not the exact color, design, or material of the K-dress (as I will now refer to the dress as).

Dress #1 has the unique sash tie of the K-dress and some embellishments, but not the color.  This dress' color is sage...and it's pricey.

Dress #2 has a faux sash tie but very fancy folds on the top.  Again, the color is olive and the dress is pricey.

Dress #3 has the same vintage feel and possibly the same color (it says emerald).  It doesn't have the sash tie and kinda makes this model look really flat, but I'm sure it would look AMAZING with your measurements.

Dress #4 is pictured blue, but there is an option for green.  It has the sash tie and seems like a very good match for your figure.  It's also the cheapest one, LOL.

Well, I hope that helped!  Your question has actually allowed me to find my dream prom dress as well (the Vera Wang dress Keira Knightley wore to the 2006 Oscars.  http://www.simplydresses.com/dresses/detail.cfm?key=187489&v=FA&cat=dresses).
