Who can find me my wedding dress?

Plans have changed and now need a dress for low key wedding in reg office sept/oct time.

I was a size 8 now a 10/12 after having a baby, hoping to be a 10 again soon! Baby is three months and weight is going, slowly but surely! I'm 5 foot 4 and 28 with olive skin and v dark brown hair- so can wear white-white or ivory, cream etc but full length could drown me a bit.

Saw this and love it. Anything similar in the uk for £200 ish?

Other similar suggestions or nice dresses welcome!

Thanks you stylish lot!

Thanks yjo! It's a gorgeous dress just a little over budget and really need to try it on first.

Or just any nice posh flattering dress?!

My idea of posh is topshop- just want a nice dress to flatter, if it made me look slim again, I'd pay £300- any suggestions?

Sorry- the above should say proper posh, as in, I don't want to wear topshop, I want something really actually posh!

WeAreSix · 30/05/2013 10:09

Do you like the 1950s style?

WeAreSix · 30/05/2013 10:10

MrsL House of Fraser won't open on my phone, do they still have Anouska G wedding dresses?

MrsLettuce · 30/05/2013 10:13

WeAreSix · 30/05/2013 10:21

Oh oh you lot are WONDERFUL!

Looking at the links now.

Who wants to come wedding dress shopping with me?!

I like the 1950s style, got to have a bit of cleavage and love lace.

We are six I had looked at the monsoon but dismissed them on the lack of low neckline- maybe I should be less of a slattern?

Lettuce loads of lovely ones there- particularly like the silver, which I think could be cool if we got an evening 'slot' at the reg office?

Lettuce VoH could be an option...particularly like their pencil style dresses.

Right team, great job, nelly also like the simplicity of that monsoon dress- but I need one with a bit of boob- the lipsy ones would be perfect BUT think a pencil silhouette will suit me better rather than floaty. Or like the first dress I linked- flippy rather than poufy.

Any more suggestions?

OP posts:
sweetheart · 30/05/2013 12:07

any good?

more boob but long

bishboschone · 30/05/2013 12:19
