Less obvious places to buy occasion dresses

[HiddenGiraffes]

I'm really struggling to find something I like that will suit me! I'm 5'7, a size 10-12 and top heavy, if it wasn't for my boobs it would be more like 8-10. Looking for around £50-120 for a dress but I'd go over for something perfect.

Can anyone recommend some less obvious places to buy wedding guest dresses in this price range? I've got one coming up early April and then two more in the summer.

You could hire something designer that you might not otherwise consider

although I've just clocked your budget so that might not work.

I'd be tempted to trawl Vinted for a bargain. So many occasion dresses are worn once and sold on.

Occasion dresses are SO cheap on EBay !

You can get a silk adrianna papelle/coast/Ted baker/monsoon dress for about £20

I bought a Diane furstenberg dress which is silk for £7 last week

AND its environmentally friendly ... (and you can re-sell it once you've worn it)

I've had a couple of good finds in TK Maxx

trawl John Lewis website?
Hot Squash
Sezane
Jigsaw
Whistles

EBay - in the past I have bought designer dresses with tags for 7-30.00. Borrow - L K Bennett Borrowed perhaps worth a try.
