Wedding dress plea.

21 replies

bluegnueboo · 13/01/2012 21:33

Please help my dsis find a fantabulous dress to get wed in. Rules are no white pudding dresses or anything that could remotely be seen as a "wedding" dress ifkwim. Think more understated, glam sex in the city look.

She claims to have searched Harvey Nicks etc and trawled t'internet but I have promised her the S&B crew can sort it for her.

She's 5f 6, a slim size 8 with minimal norkage.

She's having a registry office ceremony with no guests just a couple of witnesses but still wants to go to town on the dress. She's happy to spend up to a grand if needs be.

Please, thank you very much.

This is from a couple of years ago so you'd probably be looking at a second hand one, but sooo gorgeous if you are slim with minimal norkage (you can't wear a bra with it).

This ad is a few weeks old but may still be available but if not it might give you some inspiration.

Thanks so much!!!
She's having a look at links at the minute.
Colour wise, no preference. Length "not short"
Again with the thanks.

over budget but beautiful

BillyBollyBandy · 13/01/2012 22:10

over budget but Valentino

under budget and very chic

bluegnueboo · 13/01/2012 22:11

Billy she loves the Herrerra dress and the budget has magically increased to 1500. Unfortunately they don't have her size so we're still looking!

Should add she's v v pale with dark brown hair.

Valentino is a big no. Lanvin "nice shape too dark".

Try Jenny Packham dresses. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I got married in one. Most wonderful dress I will ever wear.

LydiaWickham · 13/01/2012 22:19

LydiaWickham · 13/01/2012 22:21

BillyBollyBandy · 13/01/2012 22:34

Viv Westwood

dingdong3 · 13/01/2012 22:38

That Ralph Lauren one is my favourite of all the links....gorgeous

BillyBollyBandy · 13/01/2012 22:39

love it and a bargain

tethersend · 13/01/2012 22:41

Have a look at Joanne Fleming

BillyBollyBandy · 13/01/2012 22:47

FOUND THE HERRERA

BillyBollyBandy · 13/01/2012 22:52

Hmmmm that site with the Herrera looks suspect so you may want to ignore me. It is past my bedtime Grin

Happy hunting.

bluegnueboo · 13/01/2012 23:07

Tethers she loves the Lanvin but I'm reigning her in on that one. The Westwood she had already on the maybe list. Great minds etc..

Billy the site does look a bit dodgy but thanks for looking.

Lemin JP has been added to the "go see" list, thanks.

Lydia not her look but thanks.
