Brides dress is a bluey grey colour (pale) with ivory lace pieces sewn on and a small bow at the waist. Comes below the knee. it's fitted and strapless at the top. She'll have her hair set in waves I think. She's dark auburn hair and I'm black with short natural curls...

I am size 16, may drop a little but realistically not much. 36 DD boobs. 5ft 4. need a style to work iwth hers. Have only looked a tiny bit on the high st but I feel like I'm looking in the wrong places. Can you suggest anything?

A bride happen to mention to me yesterday that she had found a retro-style dress in River Island. There might be bridesmaid dresses in similar style??

Vivien of Holloway! Though don't be surprised if you go up to an 18 or 20 as they are sized v.v.small.

It's true - my wedding dress is from Vivien of Holloway and it's a 16 (I usually take a 12).
