Help me find a black wedding dress?

Size 12.

Budget £250

Registry office wedding with meal after so nothing SUPER weddingy.

I do like lace and tulle.

Nothing strapless as I need to wear a bra. Would prefer top of arms covered.

I couldn't wear a bra with that, but thanks.

I think I want something a bit more dramatic?

Have you seen the OP’s budget, @Mumof1andacat ? That should indicate the level of design and quality she’s aiming for.

Meta that's awesome but it looks much more casual to me.

I'd def wear it but it's not got the wedding vibes (I know I said not super weddingy but I menat no black cinderella dresses)
