I’m looking for a non weddings white skater dress

I was hoping some of you lovely people could help me.

In getting married soon and want to wear a white, but non wedding dress. I’m a size 1; with good legs (5ft 8) but have a big belly.

The sort of dress that suits me best is like this : www.chichiclothing.com/products/Chi-Chi-Nancie-Dress.html.

Skater fit and flare style that doesn’t have a waist band . I’d like it a bit longer than the linked dress, preferable white and maybe white shorr sleeves and/or a slightly lower neckline .

My budget is up to £500 (though if I spend less I can buy good shoes).

Thank you all in advance!

Dig for victory will make you one in any fabric they stock. They're a Brighton boutique and made my wedding dress.

NeonK, yes first one is too weddingy, I’ve been married before and had a similar dress, so although I love that style I don’t want another (it’s a bargain though)

Ted baker dress is almost prefect, I wish the neckline wasn’t quite so high though as I always think it makes my boobs look a bit matronly. I am planning on getting a fur shrug/Stole thing though.

I Do like red baker so I might order it anyway.

I’m just on the dig for victory site too, most of the ready made ones have waist bands (which I was hoping to avoid as I generally think they make me look fat), but they are fantastic!

Not white but pale pink

I really like the French connection one but do you’d think it’s too plain/non special?

I like the Reiss one too. I had ordered one from Reiss, called Nelly, but never got round to picking it up and now it’s out of stock .

Have to ever bought from the JJs house NeonK? They have some really fantastic dresses but seem a bit too cheap to be true.

I bought this for a night out the other day, it's floaty and crochet, maybe not too wedding-ish?

I like the design of the French connection one I have to say on second looks I do think the material is just a tad too casual

@TimetohittheroadJack
No, I've never bought from that JJs. Can't vouch for them. Just came across them from a Google search. I did think the same as you - a lot of nice dresses but suspiciously cheap. Maybe cheap enough to risk it though?

And now they're all over my FB feed 🙄
