If you had £30-ish to buy a dress for a wedding, what dress would you buy?

[Thurlow]

Inspire me Need something cheap and potentially reusable for a size 8-10 short-arse. What would you get on a tight budget?

I wore this dress to a wedding recently and loved it!

I've got it and it's fab! Have just bought a pale gold thin belt to wear with it.

Blimey, lovely, that is indeed a lovely dress!

I actually have a Closet dress for the other wedding I have this summer already

That's gorgeous closet!

Couldn't you wear the dress you already have for both weddings?

No - for anyone who hasn't seen me muttering on here a lot about the sodding weddings, they are the same group of friends but consecutive weekends. And different dress codes - I have an evening dress for the black tie wedding. Hence why I now have a limited budget for the other weddings.

I'm not even thinking about shoes...

I've actually been looking at that dress on and off for a while now, jimmy! The only thing that puts me off is I think it would need taking up for someone who is very short. But I do like the style.

I really like that jumpsuit, Frankie, but I suspect jumpsuits don't look good on short people. Not that I've dared try one on yet!

how tall are you, if you don't mind m asking

5'1, so proper short, and with just enough of baby weight I haven't lost in 2.5 years that despite being an 8-10, I can quickly look frumpy in the wrong thing!

If you check out the reviews, 2 of the reviewers are around your height and one mentions where the dress falls on them.

I wore this to a wedding recently from Tesco. Quite short but then so am I. They have some quite nice things if you're on a budget.

from the petite range at Wallis

or this one?

I would wear this little bargain: www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/sale-offers-436/view-all-sale-2925979/crepe-tee-shift-dress-2420491?bi=1&ps=20

and dress it up with some fab accessories. The way it hangs is a really forgiving and flattering shape.

Tesco have a dress very similar to the first dress linked. I have been thinking about it for a wedding I have in July.

Oh sorry, no wonder it's so cheap, they only have it in a 6...

I've been looking myself tonight for a wedding in September and TK Maxx have some lovely dresses in atm.

Thank you everyone, getting some good ideas here. snice, I did look at that dress - I think I could even get away with wearing it again for work with a cardigan. I'd forgotten about Tescos and that too, I will have a look online.

I am also looking for a cheap dress to a wedding and was impressed with the dresses in the sale section of www.darlingclothes.com
There are a couple there that I am currently trying to decide between!
