Have just started planning wedding. I have a pretty clear idea of what I want in the dress department, but clueless about whether it's achievable (and for a reasonable cost). Can any of you good people help?
I am thinking I want to wear a red dress (on the burgundy size of red - certainly not scarlet). To be A-line, all-in-one, minimal or (preferably) no train (this will not be a church wedding, and I tend to trip over things at the best of times...). Am 5' 5", pear shape, size 10-12. I would be quite happy to have a second-hand dress, on cost and 'ethical' grounds. Have been browsing Ebay, preloved, etc. There's several things I'd be happy to wear if I was going for white/ivory, but red dresses are not that common.
Have seen on Ebay a (new) Monsoon dress which looks fab in terms of shape, colour, etc., but it's just too plain. Does anyone know if it's possible to get an overdress added to an off-the-peg dress (or bridesmaid dress - these are often in red, but also a bit plain), with embroidery/detailing, etc.? and how much would this cost? Or does anyone have any other great ideas?
Thank you so much!
