Wedding Dress Help

Hi all!

I'm getting married in ten weeks and having no luck finding an affordable dress! The main problem is my budget. I'm not fussy but would ideally like something long and semi-fitting. It doesn't have to be a wedding dress but something white/ivory/cream that could be passed off as one. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

I'm 5"7 and a size 10. Straight up and down with small boobs!

Ready. Steady. Go!

Please!

Friend just got married in a BHS dress and it was absolutely gorgeous.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:34

Some of them are reduced too

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:34

Lovely and simple but only in a 12 Worth phoning local stores if you like it though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/08/2015 20:35

Beautiful back detail

Remus - great minds think alike!

I love this Coast dress

there are quite a few second-hand wedding dress shops about, and charity shops sometimes have bridal departments. Try those.

981 dresses in size 10 on here some are unworn, ex display, samples etc.

I was going to suggest ghost, but someone beat me to it!

Monsoon. So many gorgeous dresses. I want to get married again just looking at them.

Dowser · 10/08/2015 09:16

Those are gorgeous. I know I did the rounds in February and saw loads I like for £200 or much less . Most of them will be in the sale now.

I bought mine abroad and while it's lovely, there are some lovely little numbers in some of those links.

Dowser · 10/08/2015 09:17

Do update us on what you chose!

KnockMeDown · 10/08/2015 09:58

Last week there was a thread where a wedding guest was asking whether she could wear a dress to a wedding. The general consensus was that the dress was gorgeous but far too bridal. Does any one remember the thread, as I can't find it. The dress would be great for the OP.

YourLittlePlantPot · 10/08/2015 15:37

Ooh thanks all! I'm leaning towards the Coast one but shall come back and update on the winner!
