My partner and I have booked a Civil Partnership ceremony next year and I’ve recently started looking for an outfit.
I’ve decided to go with not a pure white or ivory dress, but white-ish would be fine. I like the idea of a floral embroidered maxi dress, something pretty and floaty.
But I can’t find what I’m looking for.
Budget is max £200 but less (around £100) would be ideal.
I’ve looked on Asos, Needle & Thread and Monsoon with nothing quite what I’m looking for.
Any suggestions for shops/websites that sound like what I’m looking for?

Saw a nice white floral dress in M&S outlet today. Formal style, not sure if this is something you'd consider. Hopefully you can check it out online.

You haven’t mentioned style?

Anyway have a look a Debenhams - it might be a be Christmassy at the moment - so January might unearth something

What do you think of this one

@GreenTulips - yes they’re both beautiful and the kind of thing I’m looking for so I might have a trawl through Debenhams as they do have a good selection.

In terms of style - I am really uncertain! I quite like something that’s flattering on the tummy and top of the arms but have lost a fair bit of weight recently so hoping to accentuate that so nothing too baggy.

I ordered this dress off Asos but sadly it was too big round the waist and smaller sizes were out or stock.

That dress would surely have been easy to alter! (Pretty too.)

I love this site. There’s not much in the way of white or ivory but there are some lovely gowns in light enough colours. They do have a bridal section but I’m not sure about price points

@SurpriseSparDay yes I suppose so. Still looking though so it clearly wasn’t “the one”!
