Please help me find a dress...running out of time

Hello all.

I'm in desperate need of help. I have a wedding in under 2 weeks and I haven't found a dress to wear. I ordered the 2 in the pictures but the floral is a but longer than I'd like and the green just looks a bit bag like (with the shine).
I don't know what to go for at all and am running out of time.

I'm a size 6-8, 5ft2 and C cup chest. I like girly, romantic and fitted/semi fitted. I don't like the hugely oversized look.

Also, I did post sikilar before but could never find my post, so not sure if it disappeared.

Thank you all so much.

The first dress is lovely. Can you get it hemmed?

Lan2020 · 10/06/2021 20:17

Also, what do people wear in their hair these days? I've only been to one wedding and that was 10 years ago!

Try Joe Browns

What's your budget?

HesMyLobster · 10/06/2021 20:31

Try Lipsy at Next - sounds like the right kind of style, like this one:

I'm the same height and I feel your pain! They have some beautiful dresses in Anthropologie at the moment, though I'm not sure what the length is like as I can't afford it them...

Pinkcadillac · 10/06/2021 20:42

I agree that Lipsy is a good option

The first one is gorgeous and I'm not sure the length would be a problem providing you're not tripping over it .

Lan2020 · 10/06/2021 21:01

@coffeeandchoc thank you, I quite like the first one but not so keen on the colour.

@covetingthepreciousthings I'm flexible with budget, maybe upto around £200.

@HesMyLobster I quite like rhe first lippst dress but is it a bit too white? I'm never sure about Lipsy. I feel a bit old for it. I'm 33.

I did really like.the 1st one but it's also not the best for on the top. So I'm undecided.

I don’t know how to do little links but I bought this dress and never got a chance to wear it, it’s so stunning on. The ruched look is so flattering I think.

I have a wedding to go to in a few weeks but now I am very heavily pregnant, I searched for something similar as I love this dress and can’t wait to wear it! So happy that I found a maternity version that’s just as flattering because of the ruches.

P.s. you aren’t looking for maternity but I’m excited so want to show you! Grin

I’m loving that this has pockets!

Lan2020 · 10/06/2021 21:47

@MrsXx4 that dress will look lovely with a bump Smile

@procrastination, yes it is. Thank you! I couldn't find it after posting.

@Notsoaccidentproneanymore that's lovely but not sure it's quite what I'm looking for. Thank you though.

What about this? Or is it tacky?

Both the phase 8 dress (featuring pockets!) and the ASOS one are very stylish. The deep green will stand out. I almost wish that I had a wedding to go to, so that I could buy them.

Iamthewombat · 10/06/2021 21:52

Re the chichi dress you just posted: I’d say not tacky per se but less stylish than other options.

Lan2020 · 10/06/2021 22:39

I like this but it's only in stock in a size 4!

Also, does anyone know what the sizing for reformation is like? It's a bit pricey to be ordering different styles and sizes!
