Need a beautiful dress...

[ahhyesiseeyouvepooedonyourfoot]

Am getting married in Jan in a small informal ceremony, don't want a wedding dress just a beautiful dress as for once I can spend actual money!!! I am big busted at the moment an H cup (breastfeeding) will probably still be bfing in Jan but hopefully will be slightly smaller again...so that rules out anything too low cut, am about a size 12 and 5'3 so there is a constant risk of looking squat...now link me..

If you scroll down this article you can see that Debenhams are doing a copy of the dress Pippa Middleton wore to the evening bash of the royal wedding - could be worth looking at?

or this?

Davina is majorly flattering too

You need to get to a personal shopper in a good dept store like selfridges or john lewis and have some fun

Doesn't have to be red or green by any means Mrs C - that last one is lovely, wish the damn model didn't have her hands in her pockets, can't see the shape of the dress!!

afish yes that would be perfect, I love the shape of the dress (as did the rest of the world..obviously!)

Where do you live? Joanne Fleming in Brighton makes bespoke evening wear and you could probably get something designed and fitted to you within your budget. I only paid a little more than that for my wedding dress (although was very simple style). www.joanneflemingdesign.com

If you want something truly special that will fit like a glove, gotta go bespoke.

I love all the dresses on the bhldn website it's American but they ship to the UK.

And Congratulations!

Here?

Vintage

40s style

emsyj I wish..but unfortunately am t'up north. oooo teth you are good! That's pretty much exactly what I had imagined!!

red

More traditional

This deep red velvet baby ceylon dress would be lovely and warm for a February wedding, but maybe too hot for dancing in!

long sleeves

sleeveless

How about a Whirling Turban 'Peggy Would' dress? I want one but have no excuse to buy one, sadly. They will shape it to fit from measurements and photos - [www.whirlingturban.com]]

I have one of their dresses & matching bolero and they are lovely quality. They do bridal type fabrics or I think you can source and send your own for them to sew? I want want want a Peggy Would - ((sigh)).

fabulous website emsyj !!

Poo, didn't work www.whirlingturban.com

This one has been closest so far www.q-pid.co.uk/3272-green-satin-v-neckline-evening-dress-869-p.asp but not quite...colour is a bit too tuquoisey and I'm not sure if it would be breast central..not in a good way
