That looks like this:

Something simple, preferably short. Everything I see is wayyy OTT. Have tried e bay, but they tended to be very expensive designer dresses being sold 2nd hand.

How about Monsoon here

I can highly recommend the Coast Jocasta dress that Esmee posted .. in person its more of a champagne colour but the dress is incredibly flattering and so classy and beautiful.

Oh ignore mine, that Alberta Ferretti or LK bennett one chocolatefroggie linked to blow everything else out of the water. They are beautiful.

Thank you all sooooo much! Grin

I am so grateful, you just don't know.

The LK Bennett is lovely, but the others are nice too. I was so disheartened, but you people have linked to shops I didn't know existed! Grin

You should be a professional Grin

The thought of walking down the aisle makes me feel physically sick, but you make it seem worth it.

Picked it up this afternoon! It is lovely, although a bit wrinkled, so may take it to be professionally pressed.

Now, it's a beautiful dress and love the fact that it's quite plain, but how shall I accessorize it? Hmm
