As someone who loves to shop secondhand, I keep a running list of pieces I’ve fallen in love with over the years that I hope to one day find and add to my wardrobe. And the most elusive item on that list is, without a doubt, Monica Geller’s bridesmaid dresses from Friends. From the very first time I watched her and Chandler’s wedding episodes, I became totally enamored with the pale green, floral gown worn by Rachel and Phoebe. It has long been my fashion white whale—but I think I may have just found the perfect homage to the ‘90s style, and it looks so much like the real deal.

Rumored

Rumored recently released a limited-edition version of its Hollywood Gown in a pale green floral that gives all the same vibes as the one worn by Rachel and Phoebe. The silhouette is also remarkably similar to their dresses, just with a more exaggerated cowl neck and gorgeous low-cut back. Available for pre-order in sizes XS to XL, this dress is a gorgeous choice for any upcoming spring, summer or even early fall weddings you might have coming up. Or you could just grab one to live out your dream Friends cosplay on a random Tuesday—you do you.

If you, too, are totally flipping over this nostalgia-packed beauty, you may want to add it to your shopping cart sooner rather than later. Rumored has noted on its site that this iteration of the Hollywood Gown has been made in limited quantities (and is expected to ship sometime in mid-May). Add to that the fact that Monica’s bridesmaid dresses are one the the most talked-about fashion moments from the show and you’ve got yourself a hot commodity.

As Friends costume designer Debra McGuire told Racked, these bridesmaid dresses are by far the most asked-about clothing item from all ten seasons. “Those bridesmaid dresses got the most calls and inquiries of anything on the whole show,” she notes. “We bought them at Neiman Marcus, and they were so beautiful. They weren’t by a big name, just some random formalwear brand — but honestly, if those people didn’t make a zillion dollars as a result of it. It went on for years and years, and I still get questions about them to this day.”

Rumored

As mentioned, the Hollywood Gown comes in sizes XS to XL, or roughly a US 2 to 16. There is an adjustable tie in back that you can either position straight down the shoulders for a more open silhouette, or crossed into an X for a more secure fit. The dress also comes in a vibrant orange floral (ideal for any destination weddings or tropical vacations you may hav eon the horizon) and a simple white for any brides on the hunt for an elegant ‘90s-inspired gown. Because, really, could this dress be any more perfect?
