Hi all
I am getting married in a registry office and having the after do in a local restaurant / cocktail bar.
It's going to be low key and more cocktail party than wedding (we will both be 40 with older kids)
I have fallen in love with this dress

www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/alex-perry/clothing/mini-dresses/kira-stretch-cady-mini-dress/2499567818912521

And dp has said he will buy me designer shoes up to £650 as my wedding present , so I was hoping to get a cheaper version of the dress and some
Shoes I will wear again but are designer as it will be the ultimate treat
I don't do style or shoes, live in gym kit but can do heels on a night out - so please can you give me some inspiration?

I have the boo hoo one, I really like the structure of the one I posted and the non pattern just plain white if you get me, I would buy it if I could see it in a shop but don't want to buy on line if you get me

Get a seamstress to make a copy for you. Way cheaper and will fit you like a glove! Can also change the design if there’s something you’d prefer!
