Where to buy 50's dresses from

[FairytaleOfSkegness]

I love 50's style dresses and often pick up some bargains in eBay however I now want to find one to wear to the registry office when I get married so I'm happy to spend a bit more but I want to know it's worth it!

The one in the picture is ideal but unfortunately I don't think I can justify spending over £100 despite it being beautiful

Do you want genuine 50s or that style?

Love this!

I though you wanted 50 dresses!

I was so interested in the reason !(a show, a wedding where everyone wears the same dress etc.)

Oh it's only old style dresses you want!! No fun!

Have you seen 'stop staring ' dresses, I think they are that style but are expensive. eBay has everything!

Lindybop any good?

It's amazing!!! Xxx

Lindybop is great and so many lovely petticoats!!

That's gorgeous regina! Doesn't have to be genuine 50's, I just like the style

Thats lollypop vintage- they have loads of others in the floral style too- I just wish I'd gone for one like that- was too guided by DM and MIL when I married many moons ago!

Haha sorry to disappoint 3luckystars

Currently checking everyone's recommendations out

I have several LindyBop dresses and without a doubt they are my most complimented outfits ever (even got a tweet from a comedian saying she loved my dress!)

Regina that website is amazing!

I've just found this www.lollypopvintage.co.uk/vintageweddingdresses/prod_3905908-Lily-English-rose-floral-vintage-style-v-neck-full-skirt-dress-Available-up-to-size-20.html
Which is perfect as I don't want it to be too "bridey"

Hurrah! Glad you like it! And the Lily dress is lovely!

Call me Me Betty on Facebook is amazing. She designs and makes her dresses as she only does small runs of them it makes them more special. I have a lovely collection of them which I need to get altered now I've lost weight finally.

I really like Collectif - I know they've got a shop in Brighton but not sure if there are others. Website is good though.

I covet a vivien of Holloway dress. I am yet to justify it though

I live near Whitby in North Yorkshire there is a little boutique shop called The Owl And The Pussycat she sells all these style dresses I absolutely love the place and I don't think any of them are more than around £40 I think they have a Facebook page try looking on there the only problem you'll have is deciding which one! Or book a weekend in Whitby and visit the shop and get fish and chips too mmmmm hope this helps you x

A friend had an amazing dress made for her here:

I'm not sure how much it cost but know it was cheaper than most dresses bought in bridal shops.

Lady V London is also lovely for 1950's style dresses.

I have 2 Vivien of Holloway dresses and can honestly say they are amazing. I want more

Search Grace Karin on Amazon. I've bought some great quality dresses from there lately and they're only around the £20 mark! There's some gorgeous prints and the fabric is really thick and hangs well!

There are some nice ones here - great vintage silhouettes.

Oh wow so many more gorgeous dresses to look at! Thanks everyone

ladylunchalot1 the wedding is actually loosely themed around a good old fashioned day out at the beach so taking a trip to Whitby almost feels necessary
