I have found the perfect dress for SIL's wedding but it's £400 - please help me find something similar and cheaper

[Stokey38]

Dress I love it but can only stretch to about £200 at the very most and so unless there is a sale soon I need to find something similar. I love this dress!

black & white silk?
very blue

If you want to keep your budget low, there's a bird print dress in Matalan at the moment, they have it in yellow or purple and it's very flattering
Can't link as on my phone.

Try net a porter sale site, think its called outnet but on my phone so can't check it out properly. Also outlet places are great for evening/wedding wear. Good luck

Tried damsel in a dress? Nothing that matches your dress but they have some gorgous stuff in there and sale still on too.

Will have a look at all of these, although friend tells me she knows someone in Jack Wills so is going to badger him for some kind of discount, although would have to be a pretty hefty one as so expensive1

Sorry to hijack OP, but wow that pretty dress company website has loads or gorgeous dresses. Has anyone ordered from them before whats the quality like?

I have bought 2 dresses from them. Lovely quality, cotton with a bit of stretch. Fitted perfectly.

Probably a bit late to this thread but...
Same sort of style and colour but not bird print

birds but purple not navy

Have you thought of buying similar material and getting the dress made by a dressmaker/tailor? Would surely be much cheaper.

Good Lord that is an awful dress for £40 let alone £400!

I am sure someone will come up with something much nicer for much less!
