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

...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

Hello all! I am back from my mum's house with some pics of the dress!
It's in perfect condition and I'm thrilled with it. It will need alterations on the top as my chest is a bit small, but would've needed some whatever dress I got anyway. You can see how my boobs don't come near the fabric in the closeup! I might wait a couple of months to get them done as I'd like to lose a stone really, but it's so amazing to have a dress that I feel beautiful in regardless.
Here are a few photos - I know some family and friends go on Mumsnet so if you think you recognise me then please keep schtum about it til after the wedding!
Thanks again Mumsnet (and Flowery obv) - I love this dress. I'll come back a bit later! xx

:D thanks! It is actually amazing having you lot here as I've been quite insecure about my size - all the brides you see on blogs and stuff are so slim. I think I look a bit dumpy in the front photo but the back looks great! It's really comfortable too - I was worried about that.

Gorgeous!
You might want to rethink that make up. I think the foundation is a little too yellow... Grin
