Unusual wedding dress

I am getting married abroad this summer, and want a very unusual dress. I am currently a size 14 but hope to trim down a but!

I love this dress www.pinterest.com/pin/452611831272479247/
Hopefully that link will work! I can't find out where to get the dress from.. any ideas? Or any similar dresses for inspiration?

I love the green dress you posted, much more original than the light blue one. I don't think it would be too warm, it doesn't look very heavy and your arms will be bare.

DangerousMouse · 25/02/2014 14:07

Oh... I don't know... What should I do?

The photo of the blue dress comes from a photographers site, looks like in Baltimore. Maybe look at US dress sites?

Unless you are on a REALLY strict budget, why don't you order the green dress and see what it is like? I bet you could always resell it on e-bay if you don't like it. And if you like the style but it is a bit cheap looking it will give you a model to show to a dressmaker.

nevergoogle, that dress is amazing!!!!! Really really beautiful.

OP, I got married in black and white. My dress was a one off Maggie Sottero (sp?) and was fab - I've had so many lovely comments about mine!

Go for whatever you fancy - love your choice but you're right that it might be a bit warm...

Please help me find that blue dress! I think that's the one, I prefer it to the green one I think. Or one very similar but it must have that kind of cross over top.

Look up Kelseys Creations. She's fab and lovely too.

this has the crossover top but varies quite a lot otherwise.
crossover again but not the same. They make them in loads of colours
To my mind this (also loads of colours) has more the feel of the pinterest dress
this too, to a lesser extent

What about This one

frenchfancy · 26/02/2014 06:32

Ooh that etsy one is lovely, much nicer in the bodice than the pinterest one.

MrsLettuce · 26/02/2014 08:35

Oh wow, that's beautiful Shosha!

Margene · 26/02/2014 08:58

Definitely the 50s type dress - I think the green one looks a bit cheap, sorry. The blue one is lovely. Etsy have loads of beautiful vintage cocktail dresses, I'm quite tempted myself!

YouAreTalkingRubbish · 26/02/2014 09:13

The blue dress is beautiful. I love the colour.

You can search for images by copy and pasting the image into google image search.

What do you think of this one?www.etsy.com/uk/listing/158351563/aqua-tear-vintage-sheer-cocktail-dress
I have it in my 'cart'.. should I? I'd need to get it altered as I doubt I can get my waist that trim, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

YouAreTalkingRubbish · 26/02/2014 23:58

I agree, it's a beautiful dress. I love the colour.
