Ok. I need help to find a wedding dress. THAT looks weird written down.

I seem, despite my best intentions, to be getting married next year, and I need a dress.

I want something very much like this (particularly the sleeves)- I am flexible on colour, but have a budget of £500.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

I was hoping to get something made, but it looks like it might be too costly an option- so any recommendations for a good but cheap London based dressmaker also gratefully received Smile

Congratulations!!!

TheDoctrineOfWho · 08/11/2013 18:44

This is kind of a weddingy colour. But the sleeves aren't the same.

Issa

TheDoctrineOfWho · 08/11/2013 18:45

Or do you want floor length?

Ruprekt · 08/11/2013 18:45

Am on an ipad Tethers.....cannot see a dress.

Link please. SmileSmile

Congratulations! ThanksThanksWineWine

MyNameIsWinkly · 08/11/2013 18:50

Can it be any long sleeve or that sort in particular? This Ghost dress is gorgeous, and is dye to order so you can choose your colour.

MrsLettuce · 08/11/2013 19:08

Ooh, tethers!

tethersend · 08/11/2013 19:16

Ah, you guys... link here

Ok, the sleeves do have to be like that (puff? Dolman?) and I do want full length, or at least ankle length. Sorry.

Ruprekt, I'm on an iPad too- how come you can't see the pic? Confused

And thanks Smile

Whoop!!! Congrats....

The green dress is beautiful...just stunning. The ghost dress is gorge too...

tethersend · 08/11/2013 19:21

Thanks Smile

If I could find the green one anywhere, I'd buy it. It's pretty much exactly what I want.

MrsLettuce · 08/11/2013 19:22

maybe? I know you like a quirky / 60s /70s edge but it might be a bridge to far...
and, erm, this pewter lurex has ^something Confused
orange
You might find something here and IIRC they make custom stuff too.

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 08/11/2013 19:55

What abot lightinthebox?

Can change the colour of any design to one you want?

MortifiedAnyFuckerAdams · 08/11/2013 21:26

BestIsWest · 08/11/2013 22:26

That dress is stunning. Would be my ideal wedding dress too. Not much help am I.

Congrats by the way!

tethersend · 08/11/2013 22:52

Thanks all- I quite like the yoox number, but not for a wedding.

I think I want the Issa one... Not going to happen is it?

OP posts:
TheDoctrineOfWho · 08/11/2013 23:01

Is this Issa one any good instead? Sleeves are different.

red

TheDoctrineOfWho · 08/11/2013 23:03

Ooh, the sleeves are closer on this one

also red

SthingMustBeScaringThemAway · 08/11/2013 23:07

Congratulations!

I haven't come across this site before - and you'd need to alter the sleeves...

tethersend · 08/11/2013 23:07

That's the one, good find- but unfortunately I'm a size 16 which I think is a US 12 so could probably get my arm into that one Grin

OP posts:
tethersend · 08/11/2013 23:08

Thanks SThing- but it's the sleeves I really like.

OP posts:
tethersend · 08/11/2013 23:09

Could conceivably be a 14 by the wedding.
