Short wedding dress help please!

Desperately need some help. My time is running out and I need to find a short, cheap wedding dress (£200 absolute max).

I say short, but I basically just mean that I don’t want full length. So midi or knee length. CANNOT be tight fitting - I need to throw so huge dance moves Wink

I have seen one on JJ’s House, but not very keen to buy from there. Has anyone seen anything vaguely similar or something that might fit the bill? I’ll see if I can link it.

I’m running out of time and i have zero options at this stage.

Here’s the link to the one I saw:

www.jjshouse.co.uk/A-Line-Princess-V-Neck-Knee-Length-Chiffon-Bridesmaid-Dress-With-Ruffle-Beading-Sequins-007001083-g1083/?utm_term=1083&utm_size=06&ggsub=pl&ggntk=g&ggcid=274257638092&ggkey=&ggpos=1o24&ggdev=m&ggdevm=&ggplm=&ggtgt=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1P7H8qTW4QIV5pXtCh1MbAfWEAQYGCABEgJdXPD_BwE#/

This from modcloth has a slightly different neckline but fits the bill www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/modcloth-x-emily-and-fin-keener-postures-a-line-dress-in-ivory/163625.html

Chi chi London is good

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 06:44

Calllt - that link wouldn’t work in the UK unfortunately..

Swede - yes, I ordered three from there, but they weren’t too nice. Really poofy at the bottom if that makes sense...

The nicest ones I've seen are from Dolly Couture.

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 07:31

Thanks Sorrel - is it an American company? It looks quite pricey in dollars?

Be careful ordering from the US on tax if you're on a budget, I got stung on my wedding ring.

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 08:02

Yes NW - that’s what I’m worried about!

OP posts:
NW2SW · 17/04/2019 08:04

How about this, or are you super keen for that neckline?

whydoineedanickname · 17/04/2019 08:04

I’m not sure how to link but monsoon have a nice midi length called grace Bardot.

whydoineedanickname · 17/04/2019 08:05

Oh sorry. Ignore me. I’ve just seen your budget.

Phase Eight

Short wedding dress help please!
NW2SW · 17/04/2019 08:23

Does it have to be white? This dress is similar from Ted Baker but only available in a very light pink

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 08:39

Oh my goodness you guys are awesome!

NW - I’m definitely going to order that ASOS one to try!

I also love the phase 8 one.

Thanks for looking Whydoi Smile

Phew! Seems like there are more options than I previously thought.

Thank you, thank you!

Anymore suggestions welcome - then I will
Just order a load to try...

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 14:24

The ASOS is out of stock sadly, but I have ordered the phase 8 one to try.

NW2SW · 17/04/2019 15:13

If you have the ASOS app then you can add a size alert for any that are out of stock. You'd be surprised how often they come back in stock Blush

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 17/04/2019 21:17

Thanks so much everyone. I have ordered Dorothy Perkins one too!

Curb - I’m going to have a good look at the Pretty Dress co, they look like they have some good options.

BendyBusBuggy · 17/04/2019 21:31

What size are you?
The outnet have a few knee length bridal dresses under £200, but not in all sizes

CurbsideProphet · 17/04/2019 22:05

Marmite there are quite few dresses I like from Pretty Dress Co. I can't really justify buying one, so I love having an excuse to look their website Grin

Marmitepeanutbutterandhoney · 18/04/2019 05:18

Bendy - I’m an 8
