Wedding dress for an informal second wedding

[Pearjam]

I'm getting married for the second time this summer. We've planned a relatively low key, informal day..
I'd love some ideas about where to find a nice dress. I'm thinking of something knee length, probably not white, and something I might wear again. Budget is up to £250. I'm 43, size 14, quite booby, tummy and waist are my worst feature: in fact I don't really go in at the waist at all. I struggle a bit with getting dresses to fit because I'm quite tall (5'9'') and some brands (Coast for example) are just to short in the waist and the length. I'd actually really love a yellow dress or a dress with some yellow in it, it's a colour I love and was my mums favourite colour: she died ten years ago and if she can't be here to help me chose my dress, then it would be lovely to wear something that reminds me of her a little. (I hope that doesn't sound a bit maudlin...)

Monsoon? Think the wedding dresses are online & maybe in some stores.

I know you said knee length, but posting this because I think it's gorgeous.

Will have a look.

simple

available in champagne which is quite yellowish

kaliko

fitted

lace

How about more of a suit, like this?

Suit

It's more structured so gives a bit of shape where you need it.

Also it's available in a lovely bright yellow which would be lovely for a wedding, with a pure white bouquet.

the max mara one is lovely, very sweet and would look great with a little pillar box hat.

the kaliko one very nice too.

Congratulations on your engagement

Dress with a coat?

Bit more formal rather than floaty but does suggest bridal and the dress could be worn again on its own as a party dress.

Or This would give a nice neckline for boobs but would also hide tummy issues.

yellow/gold/brown

This is sweet.

Although I see it's out of your price range.

I was just about to link that Kaliko dress. It is sweet. I like this more though!

Gotta love a wedding dress thread. Perhaps second weddings are even better!

oh god you have to get that Hoss Intropia one Tethers linked first its so gorgeous and when will you ever have a reason to wear something like that again ? .. even though it says 16 only left , I bet it would be a small 16 ( and no one would know,, )
