Where on earth can I find a lovely dress or jumpsuit or whatever?

I have a healthy budget, size 10, young 36 and slightly 'alternative' (cringe) taste.

Aibu to ask for help! Please

Love it!

Is it too attention grabbing?

I came to say Nancy mac or hire something from vampires wife!

Love the jigsaw above! I don't think it's too attention grabbing. Reasonably subtle accessories/ sleek hair would work well

How about something quite minimalist/Scandi but with accessories and fabulous shoes? Cos?

Net a porter

You can not go wrong.

You really can't wear a green velvet jumpsuit to a summer wedding as lovely as it is for Christmas Eve or similar.

Teuta Matoshi?

This one is gorgeous but outside budget, but they have plenty that are in budget and they're not all princessy - some nice, more alt-vibe ones.

housemaus · 01/04/2022 12:05

Ooooh this one is also VERY cute.

Ohdoleavemealone · 01/04/2022 12:07

I have also had this problem this week.
I ended up finding one on John lewis online.

Mumtoabeast · 01/04/2022 12:11

I like the clothing from EMP, it's quite grungy/ vampy

Notadramallama · 01/04/2022 12:17

the pretty dress company?

mamabr · 01/04/2022 12:19

Voodoo vixen
Collectif
Hell bunny
Are some amazing ones

Blinkingbatshit · 01/04/2022 12:24

That jigsaw jumpsuit is lovely!

Swayingpalmtrees · 01/04/2022 12:31

Camilla dresses are stunning for weddings. You could probably get one on your budget in the sale range, which will still be incredible. Clutches to match. Seriously chic, summery and you will wear it again and again post wedding.

I am converted.

What about this Rixo one - it’s quite grungy / vintage - flick thru the photos as it looks different in different models

@streamee look at the outnet.com - designer dresses for a reduced price. Look on ebay and Depop. Book in with a personal shopper at local boutiques or department stores and try shops you wouldn't normally go to. Here in Ireland, our high end department sore is Brown Thomas. For my family's wedding i booked a personnel shopper there ( it was free). I bought a lovely outfit for just over your budget and it was something never would have picked my self- alterations were free alos. Plus we got a glass of procesco and tea and coffee too

Haven't read the full thread so apologies if they've already been suggested, but Rock the Jumpsuit have beautiful options.

Oriunda · 01/04/2022 12:36

Woowoo boutique (check them out on Insta) do some lovely, seventies style jumpsuits, as well as dresses. Under your budget, too.

DFOD · 01/04/2022 12:40

The one I posted above is also available in lots of other colours

Here is another of their metallics.
