I HATE my wedding dress

I'm getting married next month, my dress has arrived and I hate it. I need to find a new one and fast. Please help?

I have toyed with the idea of non-white dresses, at this rate I'm open to anything. Ideally wanted a midi length pale dress that doesn't look like a bridesmaid dress (The one I have bought is blush and floaty and bridesmaidy). :( :(

Oh no how annoying, can you return it? Have heard needle and thread do good ones!

Ooooh! That’s the winner for me. Love it! And looks lots more expensive than it is.

Try JJ'S House. They have beautiful dresses. You can buy a standard size or have one made to measure. You can also pay in 3 with Klarna pay so won't skint yourself

Adrianna Papell have a outlet of new dresses on ebay - some only £30

Dora33 · 20/05/2021 19:32

Having seen pictures posted of the ghost dress, I would much prefer the gold Adrianna Papell dress.
The material in it looks much better cut/ made in the dress . While the ghost dress 's seam running down the side length of the dress doesnt have a good finish.

@ladygindiva love that
Post pics of your ghost dress when it arrives OP!

babbaloushka · 20/05/2021 19:55

That's gorgeous 😍

My DD had a grey Ghost dress as a bridesmaid. It was very lovely. She wore Spanx type underwear under hers and it was very flattering. She is a curvy size 12.

NotMeekNotObedient · 20/05/2021 21:17

Oxfam? Or sample sales depending on your size. Can pick up same day and you'll have time to make any alternations then. Good prices.

More dresses from monsoon 😊
Op your wedding might be small but you are getting married and that something big. Choose something special

Do you have time to find a designer dress in a wedding shop and then buy it pre loved on eBay, there are so many gorgeous secondhand dresses for sale online if you make a note of the name and style of what you like. Hope you enjoy your big day and find something stunning.

CaraherEIL · 21/05/2021 00:50

OP, will you post pics of you in the dresses or does it have to stay top secret?

LadyEloise · 21/05/2021 08:05

I'd love to see the one you bought but don't like.
Apologies if you have already posted a photo or link to it.

Found these this morning!
But why am I looking for dresses for a complete stranger?! Only on Mumsnet. 😂

All the adverts on my wall are now floaty dresses. Grin

My husband is a bit bemused, I think, that our eBay "Recently viewed items" gallery is now full of wedding dresses 🤣

CaraherEIL · 21/05/2021 10:44

Actually OP there are loads of gorgeous wedding dresses at Monsoon and the ones I have seen in RL are amazing in terms of quality.
The Sophie one posted earlier is amazing but understated. The Tshirt length sleeves make it look less like a formal wedding dress.
