Short, sleevey wedding dress ideas?

Hello! This is my first ever thread although I am a long term and very hard-core lurker. I would very much appreciate some help with my hunt for the perfect wedding dress as I am a bit stuck and options seem very limited.

I have quite specific requirements but I'm also very open to the non-traditional. It does not have to be a "wedding dress". I want short, empire line, preferably lace and shoulders covered- definitely not strapless. Budget is £1000. Any ideas?

Thank you! (I'm very excited to have started my first thread, it feels like a very big and important step into the world of Mumsnet so please don't let me down!)

I really like BHLDN (Anthro's wedding brand) dresses for slightly less conventional ideas. Some of their "reception dresses" might fit the bill:

Love this one:

Had a dress made for it was perfectly made and my Parents Anniversary. I was extremely happy with the compliments that came with it, and the fit. My recommendation is to obtain somebody who understands seamstress measurements and you will not fail. Fit like... I'd 5 fixtures. For the cost you cannot fail.

I adore the outnet. If I were thinner.... of course.

How about this? www.theoutnet.com/en-GB/product/Marchesa-Notte/Satin-appliqued-tulle-midi-dress/596885

My dress was a Mori Lee design, I come from a religious family, so when my mum saw my strapless dress, she was mortified, and proceeded to tell me I couldn't possibly stand in church with bare shoulders Hmm, so I picked a dress with a removable, short sleeved lace cover-up thingy, that just made the dress look like it had little cap sleeves and beautiful back detailing Smile and once removed, the dress went back to its usual strapless glory
