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 would consider hiring yes,

The top and skirt idea is great but all the tops are just so tiny and mostly see through 😂

I'm a size 12 but saggy skin from weightloss so can't do sheer. I would probably need spanx underneath

I just recommended this to someone on another thread. Don’t bother to click if you only want something traditional!

Love that dress. Envoy of Belfast have fabulous stuff.

It's way over budget but it's beautiful.

What about this one?

Dramatic, but not too much.

AngryGreasedSantaCatcus · 16/04/2023 01:36

Or this?

But as it's a 14 it would need altering.

I like this one from Nancy Mac because of the cape. I don’t think the model is wearing a good bra though.

I love the examples you linked. But they are black Cinderella dresses!

It's a little above budget though.

I love it but I don't think I'm cool enough for it.

It's very Wednesday Addams which I LOVE

@CreepyQueen of course you’ll be cool enough, it’s your wedding day! I love the idea of a black Wednesday Addams dress. Please can I come to your wedding?!

My sister is planning a goth / steam punk wedding in a couple of years. Literally cannot wait.

Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful day

Deathraystare · 16/04/2023 15:14

Wow! There are some gorgeous dresses out there. What a shame I

  1. Don't suit black
  2. Am not getting married!!!!

@CreepyQueen

Hope you find exactly what you want and have a really great day!
