Help me find a wedding dress!

I am going a bit bonkers after days of endless googling, I'm after a vintage style wedding dress, sort of 1930s-ish, not full length as it's a causal registry office job.

I love Ghost dresses and have ordered these, I love the style but would prefer it in cream/ivory/white. Doesn't have to be silk or satin but something fairly lightweight. Short or long sleeved, knee to mid length. Any ideas? Or any ideas of brands where I might find something similar? My wedding dress icon has always been Abby Lockhart in E.R if anyone remembers that!

Thank you!

Ooh good suggestions thank you! Size 8, budget £600 max, breastfeeding friendly if possible as trying to wean the baby at the moment but not getting very far Smile

I think what I'd really like is a non-wedding dress wedding dress...something that could maybe be worn again

Breastfeeding friendly which you could wear again you say? How about this one?

Not sure if this would be the best for bfing, but it probably depends on your shape a bit.
