Hidden gems for online wedding dress shopping?

Hi all

Getting married next year and I don't want a traditional wedding dress, nor do I want to spend a fortune.

I've been looking online of course but wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I've found ASOS, Phase 8, Monsoon, JJs House etc

Ang suggestions pls lovely ladies?

following! I don't think I want a traditional big wedding dress, but I do want a white dress of some description and I feel like ive exhausted everywhere online already!

there really is a gap in the market...

Why can't I post pics from the app? V annoying! So attached is the kind of thing I'm after in case anyone has seen anything Thanks for the suggestions so far! I'll chuck in chicwish and everpretty!

@flamingo it's so frustrating isn't it! I would prefer to buy from an actual shop as I don't generally have much luck buying clothes online but I think I'm going to have to.

Bhldn seems to have a good selection but it's an American site Sad

Yes I've seen that one and thinking about trying it out. I'm currently on a separates search! Chicwish has skirts, trying to find some top options. I have a black version of exactly what I'm looking for! Typical!

Etsy also looking promising..Only thing putting me off is whether what I have in mind will suit my pear shaped figure!

Dig for victory (independent website plus also on etsy) and Vivien of Holloway are worth checking out.

Flamingo , they had a dress similar to the green one at Lindy bop last year.

Some lovely 50s style ones there @flamingo!

I've ordered a Needle & Thread tulle skirt from ASOS and a plain top. Not sure I'll like the neckline on it though it worth a go.

I was just about to recommend needle and thread! Spotted this one, which might be up your steet? www.needleandthread.com/uk/all-womenswear/dress/floral-gloss-bodice-maxi-dress-rose-quartz

Yes I love this one! The colour is no good for me though, it washes me out 😭 they have strappy ones too but I don't want my arms out!

Needle and Thread do sample sales - my wedding dress was £80!

nrpmum · 28/02/2019 21:06
