Three weeks, tiny budget & no wedding dress.

[IfIDontKnowAndYouDontKnow]

I get married in 3 weeks. I have nothing to wear on the day and a seriously small budget to work with.
I did post on AIBU 7 weeks ago and got a lot of helpful advice, as well as suggestions to post on here.

I ordered a dress from H&M and lovely as it was on the hanger, it fitted badly and looked awful. Any ideas would be great,.

I wasn't sure if my dress would be ready for the wedding and so we bought me a beautiful 2nd hand white ball gown from the university. I didn't need it and so I'm saving it for a ball to go to :)

oh, how funny. i'm also getting married in 3 weeks and have a tiny budget! my dress cost £30 and my pumps were £12 so don't despair! Both were from Dorothy Perkins of all places.

Its colbat blue and the shoes are orange...

There are lots of place that sell gorgeous gowns ie quiz miss self ridge river island new look do a couple ....all only online tho I've seen lots and lots of very elegant long dresses that would be beautiful for a wedding x

EBAY!!! It's amazing and you could pick up a dress for £20. Sometimes they even start at 99p and you could well grab an absolute bargain. Good luck x

Darn wish it was me getting married now. Fabulous dresses!!!

So many beautiful dresses. Thank you all.

I retried the H&M one on before I send it back, & realised that I was wearing it incorrectly I had the seam that is meant to be the waist, up under my boobs.
Anyhow, now it's being worn the correct way, its looks better. if I were to scale it from 1 - 10 I'd stick to 5.

So, probably still going to keep looking. Am I meant to actually 'love' my dress or does that not actually happen?

shell311 that is a lovely dress. Was it fitted to you?

When I get married I think I'm going to employ MrsLettuce you've linked some beautiful dresses. Loved MDutti one someone linked too.

I have added a photo oc the dress so you can see. I think its alright, just unsure. Plus Ihave had much nicer dresses llinked on this thread.

I have one more to follow!!

I have sent you a PM!!

For £70 you might be able to pay a tailor to make the off-the-hanger dress fit better?

I got married in a £90 dress from M&S which didn't quite work perfectly as my boobs and waist and bum didn't fit the exact ratios that the dress was molded to: a tailor measured me everywhere and did a dozen little nips and tucks here and there on the dress and made it look gorgeous, which cost another £60.

Oops sorry didn't see question, not fitted to me no
It hasn't been altered in any way.
