I've absolutely fallen in love with this dress and I can't afford it... can you help me find a similar one?

I get married in May. I've hugely struggled to find a dress that I like... until I fell in love with this one today. But it's £4K, and as much as I love it, I can't afford that.., I don't want to spend that on a day. £2k was my absolute ceiling.

Does anyone know of anything similar? I love it so much.

goose1964 · 22/11/2019 22:27

Not sure of the uk cost but Pronovia do some lovely lace dresses

Where is that dress from OP?
Check if the brand or store it’s from has sample sales. I got mine from a place where most of the dresses are 3-4K, but in the sample sale my dress was reduced from 4K to £850! Smile

Here’s a dress from where I got mine from - stunning: savinlondon.com/600036-selma-dress

Have a look at Th&Th bridesmaids. I think they have something similar

Notcontent · 22/11/2019 23:08

Hmm, it’s an ok dress but that photo looks odd - it has been photoshopped I think.

MoltonSilver · 23/11/2019 00:12

Have you tried it on? It doesn't look real. I agree its been photo shopped. It might not look anything like that in real life. She has been stretched. Her head isn't in proportion to her body.

Have a look at Rebecca Ingram dresses from Maggie Sottero. They have a couple of similar styles.

FenellaMaxwell · 23/11/2019 08:51

This one from Wed2B isn’t dissimilar..... it’s £599

My friend took a picture of one she loved to a dressmaker and they made it for half the price, worth looking into?

peachypetite · 23/11/2019 09:01

It’s not particularly unusual. Just go to a few different dress shops and try on fish tails. Sure you’ll find something for your budget.

2littleChicks · 23/11/2019 09:06

I can't help you but that is bloody gorgeous though. Congrats.

suchsweetsorrow82 · 23/11/2019 10:18

Kenneth Winston do very similar dresses

That Wed2B one has a much nicer neckline and hasn't been so obviously photoshopped.

Happychappy33 · 23/11/2019 21:16

Have you looked on stillwhite? There are new and preowned on there and you can filter by dress type - they have lots of sheath type dresses.

TragicallyUnbeyachted · 23/11/2019 21:33

Go to a dressmaker with good recommendations; if you have a 2k budget you should be able to get something like that made.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 23/11/2019 21:37

@tigerbear - the OP's top budget is £2k not £7k!

EmmaC78 · 23/11/2019 21:40

The Wed2Be one is very lovely.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 23/11/2019 21:53

I don't know what these retail at but Watters is not a really expensive brand. Would any of these be suitable alternatives?

The wed2b one is lovely OP!

WhatchaMaCalllit · 24/11/2019 08:28

If none of the first 3 I suggested are close, how about one of these?

@WhatchaMaCalllit - I know what her budget is. Didn’t you see my previous post saying the shop I got mine from does sample sales and I got mine reduced from 4K to £850??
