Maxi dress for informal summer wedding....help needed!

18 replies

I want a maxi dress like this
for a wedding in a barn, in a field in summer. I have less then £100 to spend though!
Is it too soon to be looking for summery dresses like this?
I don't have time to trail round town, with a little baby, trying things on, so help with this would be great.
The wedding will not be very traditional and will be very laid back, so I don't want anything formal. Just a lovely long dress I can sit on the floor in!

good selection at New Look

I was thinking of buying this when it was full price.
There will be loads more out but if you want to get sorted quickly, it's a bargain.

this maxi dress is quite classy and you could dress it up with accessories.

or this? I really love the back, I may be buying this myself.

But i realise neither are quite what you've asked for...I get a bit carried away with what I like most. Blush

Thanks for the suggestions.
I like the monsoon one, I might look there as I nearly got my wedding dress there because the fit was good for me.
I've never been too keen on animal print though, but thankyou!

Last year I got a maxi from Kew, admired by strangers on the street - which as I'm no model was extremely flattering. It would undoubtedly be within your budget, so might be worth a look at their summer dresses.

hettie · 01/02/2011 13:52
