if you can face the online thing it might be worth having a root around ASOS?

bit dark, though..

or they have this from coast?

<lives vicariously through someone with such a lovely reason to pick a dress>

How wonderful!
I will look out for them.

Wishing the five of you so much happiness and a wonderful future together.

XXXXXXX

thanks moondog - of course I'll fill you in - in fact I may even have some "bridezilla" threads of my own

oooo I think spotty might be a bit

there are some lovely dresses on your first link.........and I'd happily buy (and wear) several..........but not for the purpose I want to buy one for LOL

I think I'm allowed to be picky - it's my 2nd "wedding" (except it's to my first - and only DH)

FAQ, nowt helpful to add on the dress front but just want to offer my congratulations on the occasion of you renewing your wedding vows.

How utterly lovely.
Will you fill us in on the latest?

<romantic sigh>

spotty at the outnet, it has a front gather/ruffle ...

24 pages of maxi dresses here.

have you seen this in fuscia ? it is £165.

wrong dress right colouring of girl i think?

click through the colour choices, it is weirdly obvious the colours that are good and bad.

this?

I know it is a different colour, but they do made to measure dresses too.

i like that and that but still not as much as the first, and I'm not convinced about the colour on you.

I'm Flamesparrow Pic is a little paper lego star wars guy

I just clicked on the photos of you bit under the main profile pic (love the brownie uniform!). have also sent a message to my dressmaking mate to ask if she could make a copy of the dress, and how much it would be

Gotta go out now, will let you know when I get a reply.

oh - found it <<<<<<<wonders who TheFool is on FB>>>>>>>

"look what i found in the washing"

ermm which album is that <<<<<<doesn't even know what photos she has on FB anymore )

<not at all stalkerish >

show me a deep rose dress...............

<<<<<<<<<is still getting over the fact that ShelleyLou has chosen pink for her bridesmaids next year meaning FAQ will be wearing a pink dress for the first time in approx 25yrs>>>>>>>>

looking on fb, a less bright version of the colour of the top you have on in the "look what i found in the washing" pic would look stunning in that dress style.

Deep rose is very different to pink pink.

TheFool - so do I - in fact despite being a Peacocks/Primark/Matalan type of girl I have inexplicably fallen in love with a stupidly priced dress

Maybe get this lady to do it:
here

deep rose??? you mean pink????

Yes I am blonde.........slightly pale - although we seem to be having a good summer and despite the sun block I do usually look a little healthier at the end of a good summer .

Ooh I like that dress (the original one)

Not that that helps you

Have a copy made for you. Can't possibly be as expensive.

coast?

Are you not blond and pale? Have you had your colours done ? I would have though maybe a deep rose shade with your colouring no?

that last one is nice - but it's too dark - I'm renewing my wedding vows and having our new rings (yet to be bought) blessed and so having a service of thanksgiving so want something bright.

I'm not sure why I'm panicking (or even looking properly) yet as it's ages away yet - but still.........

try debenhams

Martha that's nice - but it's got a straight front

Scorps - that's quite close - will put Monsoon on my list of shops that must be in whichever town I go dress shopping in.

I like the layered sort of look to the skirt, and the shape of the top - where it's not flat

(I don't buy many clothes normally - and certainly not dresses.........usuall I go to Matalan, peacocks, and for more "upmarket" clothing New Look ).

How odd.

Why can't I see the original one?

That link's taking me to a woman in a skirt, bustier type thing and a cardi.

Is that what you mean?

Was just thinking monsoon myself, got some lovely ones in there.

Debenhams?

Debenhams?

My sister got married in a Temperley dress, and they look quite like this.

Still expensive (more like £800), but if you are anywhere near Oxfordshire, there is a discount outlet for Temperley at Bicester Village.

Monsoon?

well they're not all over the place where I live .

I need to plan where I'm going to go shopping in a few months time.......and that will depend on where the shops are that sell a dress like that - (because there sure aren't any in this town LOL).

oh god anywhere

they are all over hte place

this one .

OK some may think it's hideous - but I think it's absolutely gorgeous........but the price tag horrific - and I'm going to need a dress before December 5th...........and I want one like that (I think)

So what shop would you go to to find a dress like that but with a more affordable price tag
