Help me find a registry office wedding dress?

HotCupOfNo · 24/01/2021 12:21

Planning to have a tiny informal registry office wedding later on in the year (covid allowing), then a bigger 'wedding' in 2022 or 2023.

I have no idea what to wear. Am actually tempted by a jumpsuit, possibly. I do want to have a bouquet as I will be giving this to my poorly grandmother. Help!

@HotCupOfNo Are you tall or short? Adore all the Whistles bridal, so fabulous.

HotCupOfNo · 24/01/2021 19:54

@hollyangel I am a very average 5ft 4.5 inches. I've checked out whistles but can't see anything I think would suit

I have big boobs but no hips and a short torso, quite long thighs and short calfs, I'm an odd shape. I suit fitted stuff over baggy stuff. I also have a double chin that is so hard to get rid of so high neckline is a no, but low neckline makes me look ridiculous and tacky with my boobs.

I had a teeny tiny wedding (5 guests, including us!) and I wore a dress from ASOS!

I'm starting to think of going away from white and going for something forest green or even black

Debenhams have got some beautiful wedding dresses in their closing down sale, brilliant prices too.

Got to be this surely?

I'm a busty 12, I bought this for my registry office wedding and it looks amazing. Was considering it full price but it dropped to 50% off on Xmas day so i went for it.

Ok so I'm pretty sure from this description my dress will suit, it's not cleavagy but shows off collarbone, sleeves can be adjusted so it's completely bardot if you want. It will give you the illusion of hips due to the drapey over layer.

@smeerf Love that Vivienne Westwood dress, I'd say it's fabulous!

Plonque · 24/01/2021 21:05

I had the VW ginnie dress in the full length style. It was the stuff of dreams.
Alas, I grew (Grin) out of it and stuck it on EBay.

Plonque · 24/01/2021 21:28

Just thinking, if you do fancy the Vivienne Westwood dress - get a size up IMO.

Iheartsheep · 24/01/2021 21:34

This was my wedding dress for my tiny wedding. Clearly that's not me in it.

Thanks everyone this is super helpful.

Just come across this absolute beaut, but I'm not sure the style will do much for me

You've had some beautiful dresses suggested, my favourite is the Vivienne Westwood. I have a dress from there and it is the most amazing thing I own!
Just came to say that you probably also want to remeasure your bra size. Sounds like your back is too big and cup too small. Look up the Boob or bust method.

Plonque · 24/01/2021 22:56

Lol, I'm getting a zillion targeted ads for wedding dresses now Grin literally - nothing but!

Trisolaris · 24/01/2021 23:08

How about this? If you like the whistles one but more easy to wear a bra with

That ASOS dress is lovely OP. If you look at the Needle & Thread website including the outlet bit they have several similar pattern dresses in different styles.
