Help tracking down a dress!

Oh wise ladies help me!

A quick decision to get married has thrown me into a fluster finding a suitable dress. Have a blue one I could wear but would prefer cream.

Have seen one in the old next catalogue (888-075), a cream lace dress, 3/4 sleeves. I'm after a 16 or 18. I've tried next to see if they have one hanging around, no joy, I'm going to try and outlet branch this week. I've scoured eBay but can't find it.

Anyone? Any other ideas? My budget is cheap.

Help, only got 3 weeks to sort this!

Blush Thank you, the OP has struck a chord. I'm getting married tomorrow on a shoestring budget so I'm spreading the love!

Congratulations. Hope all goes smoothly and you have a wonderful day.

Ooooh good luck tomorrow Dave ! Wine

Thank you x

I think the M+S one is lovely and looks quite a bit longer than the next one.

I'm back!

Davenotchas, that is an amazing offer. I would love to take you up on that. You must let me pay postage and I'd happily send it back to you.

I had seen that dress on eBay and was put off because it looked a tad short, hadn't considered that they might have had it in their tall range too.

Shoe string isn't the word. I'm on maternity leave and we move house at the weekend. If one more person says but you have to have a cake/flowers/photographer I'll scream. I don't even like cake!

Congratulations on your wedding! What's your dress like?

Ha! PM me your address and I'll get it in the post (obvs not tomorrow, bit busy Grin)

It's knee length on me, so maybe slightly shorter on you?

I'm wearing this dress with fishnets and these.

To be honest, it's a bit of a non wedding as we just want to be married without any fuss. Actually, the only people that know about it is us , the registrar and our witnesses!

We've booked the function room at a really nice pub for a couple of weeks from now so will be taking family and friends for a nice meal and drinks.

I'm quite excited now actually!

Knowlee · 24/02/2014 15:16

I'll do that now.

That dress is lovely, will be lovely to wear again and be smiling to yourself that you're wearing your wedding dress!

I'd like to treat this as a non event and we'll have the big do next year, but people don't seem to believe me when I say that. Wish I could get away with two witnesses, the denial relations are driving me bits already! Might go for a walk somewhere with no signal in a minute!

Ooh, just had a thought... If you are moving house at the weekend would it be better to send it to an alternative address in case it doesn't get to you in time?

The relations getting involved is the main reason that we've decided to tell everybody after the deed is done Grin
