To ask if any of you got married in this Ian Stuart dress

[mrsmadiba]

...and if so, if anyone would consider selling to me?

It's an Ian Stuart 'Basilica', from 2012. I am a terrible bride and didn't realise you had to order a dress months in advance. I am in love with this dress but can't find it anywhere. I will pay good money for it if anyone is willing to sell! Probably need a size 14 or above though might squeeze into a 12 if I go on a diet.

Really sorry if I've annoyed anyone with the unorthodox use of this forum - it's just I'm really desperate for this dress. Thanks everyone

Mine had a properly boned, corset bodice, so I had to be laced into it like bleddy Scarlet O'Hara - then it took 2 people, on their hands and knees, to smooth and straighten all the tulle underskirts.

It was a breathtaking dress though, and people actually did gasp when they saw me in it

Enrique I have tried the "as they are all so different maybe a different style/same colour" thing but she wants what she wants hang the outcome! My DD is threatening to resign as bridesmaid which will piss me and the groom off. I have another 20 months of this I definitely think the "bride whisperer" could sort it after sorting this dress matter out so quickly 😉 that or I may need to emigrate 😤

Ooh Ma, we'd love a pic!

Dd1 has started watching "say yes to the dress", mainly because she's fascinated by the family dynamics: she gets quite cross when family members are criticial.

Ma, that sounds so pretty.

I was unfortunately a bit of w wedding day frump and decided I needed a dress I could properly dance in. So, nothing poofy or mermaidy for me.

Yours sounds lovely!'

Has the OP come back to tell us if the dress arrived and looks great?

I used to work in this wedding dress shop who used to stock IS I know she had some sample gowns she was selling off, might be worth a look?

Also! importantly, wedding gowns all come one size smaller so you might need a 16 if you are a high street 14!

oop bollocks didnt see this had been answered!

What a lovely thread! I'm so glad you got your dress, mrsmadiba

To be fair it's only been 5 days since OP started the thread ... guess it might take a bit longer than that for the dress to arrive, and that's assuming the seller posted it off the instant it was paid for?

Yes I was just about say that even if it was sent on Monday that doesn't necessarily mean it will be here yet!

How long is it likely to take from Austria? can't believe I'm so invested in seeing a complete stranger's wedding dress

Okay...here you go. Don't have a full length shot of the dress on this device, unfortunately, so you can't really see how hugely billowing the skirt was - my brothers kinda squished it all in to fit in the photo

IS THE DRESS HERE, OP?

This lurker needs to know

OMG Ma that's beyond exquisite; probably one of the loveliest I've seen

Oh, and seriously cute hubby too

Ta puzzle

It's not my DH BTW, they're my brothers

Ah ... in that case, is the one on the left single by any chance?? (Only joking )

Thanks navy

He's very happily married puzzle sorry about that

I've read all 19 pages and now I NEED to see the pic. Hope you love it OP

Gorgeous Ma!

That's so pretty ma. And I'm in awe that you wore something this big and voluminous. That's so determined!!

May I ask if it's customary in the U.K. (If that's were you're from) for the female witnesses/bridesmaids to wear white?
