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

[tethersend]

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

The DVF linked earlier is just so fab. Look at the video, the way it moves is lovely.

Are any of these any good? They all have deep cuff sleeves.

Thanks babybarrister, will have a look. I like those Tickled, but fancy some thing a bit more weddingy. I think.

Just on thr off chance, original 70s emerald chiffon gown, 16. Most plain but maybe worth some adaptation?

Oh you could jewel that so easily

Look on my profile for an idea

The 70s one is ok, but would need some alterations... Good find though, thanks

Sorry KatyMac, jewelled is definitely not the look I'm after.

babybarrister, I do quite like those, but the sleeves aren't right and for that price I'd want fucking perfect really appreciate you looking though

Ah well - they do pearls like those crystals too

TBH they aren't my style either but then I had a Laura Ashley Wedding Dress made of brushed cotton (like a nightie)

Brushed cotton? THAT I like.

I don't think the sleeves are right otherwise you could borrow it.......

it's here about the 7th picture from the bottom (next to the email address on the right

Thank you for making me look for it!

Do you have someone who could make it? This pattern is fairly close?

Christ, that last one is damn near perfect- apart from the sleeves. And the fact that I'd struggle to get one leg in it

Does it have to be a dress?
