At times like this I wish I was "normal" and wanted traditional white/ivory!!

Any suggestions?

On a budget...

What kind of style do you like and what exactly is your budget?

Have you looked at the wedding dress shops near you? This was in one called all about Eve but I'm reallt sorry that's all I remember

Thanks all. I'm probably doing this arse about face, but kind of just looking at dresses I like before looking at cost if thst makes sense?!!
It's my second wedding and I'm an old bird (40) with three kids (one just turned one) so don't feel I can go for anything too snazzy!! Biggish boobs, hate my tummy area.
Christmas wedding. Probably thinking tea length more than long length...

Avoid Hebeos as mentioned above, it has terrible reviews, probably a Chinese site

Verbena87 · 29/06/2021 22:46

Ghost do lovely neutral blush type colours and some John Lewis shops have them in the flesh to have a look at.

Verbena87 · 29/06/2021 22:47

Oh hang on though, just had a proper read. They’re mostly full length I think.

goose1964 · 29/06/2021 22:48

Wed2b have a few blush ones

LilyLolo81 · 29/06/2021 22:50

Try JJs House, I got a dress from which was amazing quality for the price and there’s normally lots of colour options.

IvorHughJarrs · 29/06/2021 22:55

They've had a few on Say Yes To The Dress Lancashire with Gok Wan including a tea length. If you are in the North West it may be worth looking there

This? Also comes in smaller sizes under a separate listing.

Find a dressmaker and start from scratch, the difference in cost will probably be negligible if you don't want acres of hand sewn lace, and you'll get exactly what you want.

Plus you can take it back to them afterwards and have it altered so it can be worn day to day if you wanted. Much simpler.

Lead front order from Hebron, Light in the box or JJs house, they’re all Chinese companies, you’ll get crap knock off products that take an age to ship, don’t look like the pics, crap quality that doesn’t fit and no returns without paying for shipping and wasting hours of your life emailing them with no response

Hexinthecity · 29/06/2021 23:08

Bloody predictive is doing a job on me tonight… that ^ is supposed to read ‘please don’t order from hebeos….’

AmperoBlue · 29/06/2021 23:14

Mine was blush ( older than you at the time). I tried it on in the bridal shop but it was too small, so got it from a dress shop in Texas - half the price even with taxes and shipping. Then found a new one on eBay too although only in Ivory.
Dress samples or styles that are a few years old are cheap from small independent shops that sell them on.
This one

Awwwww you lot! Thank you!! I'm honestly touched at you all helping me out (because I know I'm a fussy old moo!!) I'll go through and have a look - thank you so much again.
My gut is saying go tea length as I'm a bit non-trad and love retro. But also very girly and no such thing as too much glitter and sparkle!
You are all fab 😊
