Ok. I need help to find a wedding dress. THAT looks weird written down.

I seem, despite my best intentions, to be getting married next year, and I need a dress.

I want something very much like this (particularly the sleeves)- I am flexible on colour, but have a budget of £500.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

I was hoping to get something made, but it looks like it might be too costly an option- so any recommendations for a good but cheap London based dressmaker also gratefully received Smile

Can it be any long sleeve or that sort in particular? This Ghost dress is gorgeous, and is dye to order so you can choose your colour.

Ah, you guys... link here

Ok, the sleeves do have to be like that (puff? Dolman?) and I do want full length, or at least ankle length. Sorry.

If I could find the green one anywhere, I'd buy it. It's pretty much exactly what I want.

You might find something here and IIRC they make custom stuff too.

Congrats by the way!

Thanks all- I quite like the yoox number, but not for a wedding.

I think I want the Issa one... Not going to happen is it?

That's the one, good find- but unfortunately I'm a size 16 which I think is a US 12 so could probably get my arm into that one Grin
