Help me pick my wedding dress that isn't a wedding dress...

I'm bored of being asked "have you got your dress yet" and seriously think I'm missing the bride gene as I can't seem to get excited by it.

I've also just read a thread about how much people spent on their wedding dress and people seem to be able get them so cheap, I must be doing something wrong.

I've tried a fair few wedding dresses but nothing is doing it for me really.

The only one I do like is a ridiculous price (Jenny Packham) but at £3k it isn't going to happen.

I'm hoping come the end of the wedding season I could potentially pick a JP one up 2nd hand.

Whilst these lovely white strapless dresses look fantastic on other people, I want something a bit different - like a wedding dress that isn't one.

Strapless looks crap on me
As does halterneck
High neck looks good.

I'm broad shouldered, size 12 and tall (5'10 or maybe 5'11)

Not sure on short but then I wouldn't rule it out as I do like my legs.

Any ideas? Less than £800 budget

Temperley sale, non bridal it's dove grey silk and lace rather than embellished.

There's also a Temperley primrose dress in the sale on the same link, not a slinky silhouette though.
