Hi all
I've been engaged since the beginning of this year but felt too out of shape / dispirited to go dress shopping. I'm now down to a 10/12 and think it's time I kicked myself into action as getting married in 4 months' time!
Unfortunately, I can't afford to go to proper bridal shops, so I'm just looking at the high street. I'm not the savviest of clothes shoppers at the best of times, so I'm really hoping you stylish folk will be able to think of more places to look than I have!
Ideally, I think I'm looking for something shorter - I'd like to be able to move about quite easily (plus I'm not that all, and no good in really high heels, so would be good if I didn't have to have anything taken up!).
So far I've looked in the traditional high street bridalwear type places - Monsoon, Phase Eight, Debenhams and BHS.
Amongst these, I've liked the BHS Short Rose dress and the [[http://www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/phase-eight//Florentine-Wedding-Dress/202419102 Phase Eight Florentine dress].
The problem with the Phase Eight one is that although I'm only a 10/12, I've got lots of lumps and bumps and that dress is actually quite clingy and unforgiving (looks great on the model of course!).
The BHS one is nice, but just wondering if there is anything else a bit more special out there.
I also love the Diane von Furstenberg Zarita dress. The only problem there is it again looks very clingy and I'm quite apple-y / not much waist to speak of. So shifts are good, but body cons are not my friend!
I'd be so grateful of any ideas as I haven't found many options and starting to really worry I won't look that great on my wedding day! in advance for any suggestions!

Getting married in 4 months and still no dress! Can you help this unsavvy bride find a short white or cream high street dress to get married in?
