Can you find a tightwad like me a dress for a wedding?

[TheFirstMrsDV]

I have a fairly unconventional, outdoorsy wedding coming up.
I have squillions of clothes but fancy something new.
It has to be in a sale because I can't bear to buy anything full price.
I am 50, 5'7" size 10.

I haven't had much luck in S&B before and would love to see what you lot could come up with

Please?

What kind of style would you like? Are there any definite no-nos eg length, sleeveless, patterns? What's your budget? Do you need shoes, bag etc?

Finery have some fab weddingy offerings in the sale ATM. www.finerylondon.com/uk/t/final-call

I'd find the nearest smart town/posh suburb and do the charity shops/dress agencies. Alternatively I'd go eBaying for stuff that's being auctioned. If there are brands you like, then put them in the search.

Phase Eight have a good sale on at the mo www.phase-eight.com/fcp/categorylist/clothing/all

Not all the dresses are jersey btw

Definitely worth a poke in local charity shop, nearly bought a lovely Fever dress in one of ours last week for a tenner, except I couldn't quite get the bastard thing zipped up. And I don't even have a wedding to go to.

Sorry!!!!
I suddenly had loads of stuff to do.
Thanks for responses.

I was thinking midi or maxi.
Apart from that I don't know.
Weddings always throw me a bit.

Budget.....ummm....deffo less than £40

Oh tethers thats lovely but you have reminded me....no off the shoulder. I don't want to be worrying about bras.

I don't need shoes etc. I have tons

Sorry ginger but Phase 8 is not really me.
I am an awkward bugger.

nearly that website is amazing!

Do you have a local bannardos near you?
I don't know if there all the same but the 2 near me have always got beutiful dresses in. Evening dress, cocktail dresses even prom styal or bridmaids dresses even wedding dresses. I don't know why bannardos inperticalr seem to get them in.
If ever I've got posh event coming up that's always my 1st point of call. I've got dresses from there for as little as £5.00 sometimes I've had to pay a few quid to get them altered but always worth it

lots of dresses in the closet sale

Lindy bop? I got a lovely Jackie o style dress from there and wore it to a wedding and everyone commented on it, you would have never known it was from Lindy bop

This one

or this?

The first one is lovely! The second one... not my cup of tea.

I love the flying swallows dress.

I normally love a "find me a dress" thread, but that first one (the swallows one) is so good, I thnk you should go for it

Do you?

I really like that blue one too.

The swallows is lovely and different tho.

Anyone know what their sizing is like?

I'm going to be awkward and say I love the blue Finery one!
