Help me find a registry office wedding dress?

[HotCupOfNo]

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!

@Iheartsheep that's lovely!

Has anyone seen a picture of the Westwood dress on?

@TheFutureIs thanks a lot, I'll look into that

@amiw no I haven't I shall google now

Thanks for the tip @Gemma2019

@Plonque me too!! Sorry 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@Trisolaris that is lovely but nearly all sold out - I think I also need something with a more accentuated waist maybe

This is what the short ginnie dress in Ivory looks like on.

This is the one I had 😍

That's not me in it!!

oooooh @Plonque Thats lovely!

I know, I regret selling it really but it didn't fit, I didn't have anywhere to wear it and it was a lot of money just to have sitting there, doing nothing

I saw this and remembered you said you might fancy something black!

Black, a bit like the Needle and Thread one you liked.

LOVE this. Bit expensive but you've time to wait for the sales.

Wolf and badger is a good site, lots of different designers, little known ones that are unique. Their occasion wear section is dripping with fabulous gowns in all colours!

Have you tried The OUTNET OP?

Something like this?

I can't post the link for some reason but it may be worth looking on the site. It's £247 at the moment.

This is a hard question without knowing your style. You can wear whatever you like to your registery. It’s your wedding day!

@DialSquare I've seen quite a lot there, but it kind of scares me I don't know why, I will have more of a look!

@Plonque the one with the cowl neck is gorgeous, bra though

I've just ordered this black one from asos and it's coming tomorrow. I'm going to look like a tent I know it but I have to at least try it out.

Also in love with this 5k Vivienne Westwood jumpsuit

Damn Facebook advertising! This shop now keeps coming up for me but looks like they have done lovely stuff so thought of you OP

Just one example

I realise this isn't the main point if the thread, but I really don't think you are a 36E if you are a dress size 12. I'd suggest doing the Boob or Bust measuring method, which will bring your band size down (and your cup size up). This will help as a strapless bra will better fit you and the strapless or halterneck options will be possible.

Pretty much all the support for boobs should come from the band. The straps are an extra you may not need.

This is beautiful!

@HotCupOfNo if you are really that in love with the jumpsuit and can't find anything else, you could consider commissioning someone to make a similar item for you. Won't be cheap, but you could ask that the design be able to be adjusted after the wedding to be worn again.

@Trisolaris that is so gorgeous AND really affordable - I have looked at some other Etsy shops, I think I'm just scared at the whole 'no returns' thing.

I've phone the registry office and they're taking bookings from June onwards only so looks like it'll be a summer thing, also super cheap on a Monday morning 😂

Stunning @cherrytreecottage but can't do backless because of aforementioned big boobs

@SummaLuvin that's a good idea - to be honest though if it's just for the register office ceremony I probably wouldn't spend too much as I'd want to save for the bigger wedding which will be a handfasting type scenario.

Finally going to actually order some dresses from asos today and found this in the sale
