Help me find a wedding dress

36 replies

Please help me find the perfect dress for a no frills registry office wedding, but I still want to look fabulous . I like the idea of this as it has a vintage feel but still feels youthful, however I would like something better quality and a bit more special!

I’m 32, a size 10 top and 12 bottom and my budget is £1500 but would be willing to spend more if it was “the one”.

Just to add, I’m really not a fan of Nancy Mac or Bombshell or cliché vintage replica dresses.

www.andreahawkes.co.uk/shop/civil-ceremony/wallace-civil-dress/ Andrea is amazing and she often has samples. All made in London so can be made to measure or tailored the way you want it.

Stunning!

Hmm … The Lein website doesn’t seem terribly active? I can only see that one dress. Their Insta was last updated in February.

I would definitely want that dress if I were you! Just be sure you can order from the most reliable source.

Good Lord - how can that other brand take Margiela’s name in vain like that? The cheek! Angry

I also love this but the brand puts me off as I’m not sure about the quality, etc

It's lovely but the quality for that dress would need to be on point. Think there a shop in Westfield London

I think I might consider trying to find a dress maker rather than buying off the rack. I love, love, love the style of the knock-off Margiela dress but you can see in the video that the quality of the material is shocking @CountryCousin

Definitely not looking for anything floaty or frilly…

@BridaBrida if you’re going to hire a dressmaker can I add this dress to your possible? It’s way over your budget to buy but a dressmaker could do it and I think you’d like it
