Help with dress!!

[fairlyurgentdresshelpneeded]

Hi all

My mum is getting married in 2 weeks, and hasn't found a dress. She's a bit at her wits end and I feel like I spend every spare moment helping her.

Please help! There are several pre requisites below - all must be met or she poo poos them!

• size 22
• must be maxi / floor length
• must have full length / at least 3/4 length sleeves
• burgundy / maroon / dark red in colour
• no splits up the side
• budget up to £250
• can be velvet, satin, whatever fabric but should look as dressy as possible
• sequins are fine but she'd prefer no bows.

Please help. I will send many, many good vibes and also the winner will get a gift (if they're happy to dm me their address!!)

Happy hunting.......

Thanks in advance!!

These arent necessarily my style but seem to broadly fit the brief! If she sees a style she likes in a paler colour could she dye it?

sequin/beaded john lewis

this monsoon dress doesnt have long sleeves but sleeves that cover the tops of the arms

Would she consider wearing a slip or similar underneath so that a split isn't an issue?

You guys are ace. I love the JL Gina one - she thinks the sleeves are too short. I also think the ASOS one is ace - she thinks it's too young but I love it!

How's this one?

Oh that last Ever Pretty one is gorgeous! With the floaty skirt and ribbon waist band. And the price!!

The Ever pretty one looks gorgeous - she ordered 4 from there last week and the quality of them all is really, really poor which is a shame but they do look too good to be true I suppose!

Urgh. Can she not compromise on any of the criteria? Time for firm words with her!

The phase eight cape dress is nice, but it’s the wrong size @gracefull

The velvet dress recommended by @wanderedlonelyasacloud is the best of the lot! Gorgeous, very special.

@Bythehairywartsonmywitchychin hi, I have read the reviews and the majority of people are saying it comes up a size big, which is why I still posted it. E.g. 14s are wearing 12s, which suggests 20 may well be closer to a 22.
