Help!! Budget wedding outfit for October?

[Mrsemcgregor]

Anyone want a challenge?

I am attending my brothers wedding in October and I am struggling to find something to wear!

Due to current world circumstances I find myself on a very tight budget of a max £30. I am usually good at finding a bargain, especially in charity shops but can’t really rummage like I used to with the current restrictions.

I am a size 12 and I guess I want a dress. I already have black and nude heels. It’s not a full on formal wedding but it’s going to be “nice”. Church service and water mill reception, just dinner/no dancing.

What do you think?

Have you looked on the website 'Everything 5 pounds'? They do hundreds, if not thousands, of dresses, most are ex chain store.

How about this £19 and available in size 12 I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/live-unlimited-snake-print-hanky-hem-dress-mink/p4961130?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

Website Shein always have lots of good value items

This is nice. I would wear green to a wedding but know some people wouldn’t. Still have a look.

Thank you for the ideas, having a good look now!

What is that about wearing green to a wedding?! My mother mentions it every time there’s a wedding, especially if the bridesmaids are in green!

oooh yes, Shein is brilliant too. Loads of gorgeous dresses on there!

Wallis has dale on dresses £20 plus .. some definite wedding choices there

Sale !

Have a look at Phase Eight on ebay, there are some beautiful dresses.

Is Shein legit then? I always worried it’s a bit like Wish and what you get most likely won’t resemble the pictures?!

I've always found Shein to be great. Some items can take a week or two to arrive, so make sure you order in plenty of time.

Also, under the item listing and description there are usually lots of reviews and photos of other buyers wearing the item so check those out before ordering too.

Ebay Coast!

Silkfred have some lovely dresses at that price. What about this? www.silkfred.com/boutiques/blue-vanilla/clothing/fiona-asymmetric-wrap-front-maxi-dress-in-red-print

Have you tried Thrift? Although previously owned they do have pretty high quality control standards. If you check out the High Street section you might get yourself a bargain.

This is gorgeous

I got married at a watermill, wondering if it's the same one. If it's in Leeds, beware of high heels due to uneven ground!

It’s south coast, but point accepted about high heels, it’s fairly grassy and October which is a recipe for sinking!! I hadn’t considered that so thank you!

Ebay, ebay ebay. Phase eight or Monsoon? I've got some amazing bargains from ebay lately including a sheepskin flying jacket for £40
