Help me find a wedding dress…..

For my friend….before I lose my mind!!

My wonderful friend is getting married in November and wants a dress that fits this brief….

Fitted (not ‘poofy’)
V neck/plunge neckline
Long sleeves
Less than £1000

We have been to 6 different Bridal shops, searched online and looked at 32 million dresses on Instagram. Still she’s found nothing she likes. Any ideas? Anyone spotted anything remotely close to her list of must haves??

This is a stock photo of mine, it’s Stella York who seems to do a few of what you’ve described

Any more information? Colour? What sort of shape is she? What’s her ‘style’. I’m asking this not because I’m any good at finding clothes but loads of people on here are and I’m a nosey cow marking my place.

Some good ones so far!! Thanks so much everyone!
I’m not 100% sure on her size but I’d say probably 12 maybe a small 14. She has a smaller top half/waist and a more shapely bum/thighs.
I presume she wants a white dress, that’s all we’ve looked at.

@Bogggle sent my friend a screenshot of the 2nd one and she really likes it! Is it Stella York? I had a quick look but couldn’t see it

my daughter got a beautiful wedding skirt and top made by two different sellers on etsy. Worth a look.

GettingMarriedAgain · 02/06/2023 22:55

Fingers crossed!
