HELP needed! Tall lady dress for big occasion

6 replies

My Dsis is renewing her wedding vows at the start of April and is looking for a new dress.

She is 6 foot tall and statuesque ie: big boobs and bottom but looks gorgeous with it. Think Amazonian. Great legs but doesn't like skirts that are too short. She would like something with a pattern (maybe floral?) but isn't hung up on it. She likes prom style but everything in Laura Ashley, Hobbs, FWM has been too short.

She's in her early forties so would like it to be "age appropriate". I think that by this she means that she doesn't want to be styled like Pixie Lott.

Any suggestions?

I'm sure we can find something suitable. What's the budget?

Thank you!! Up to £200, although the less it costs the bigger the budget for shoes and handbag.

I wore a Vivien of Holloway dress to my brothers wedding, and I'm 5'9 - theres a pic on my profile of the red dotty dress. I thought it was fab and got loads of compliments - they do a number of fabrics too
