Help me find a dress!!!

I’m getting married in a month and I want a non traditional dress. I absolutely love this one. Yes yes I know I’m cutting it fine…https://www.matchesfashion.com/products/1526590?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paidsocial&utm_campaign=con-pro-alwayson&utm_content=MF002_UK+Women%27s+Dynamic+Prospecting_Catalogue+Sales_Apr+23_UK_PG_DYN_Key+Product+Categories_Key+Product+Categories+Carousel_DMA&fbclid=IwAR2MtKQmMCGxAs5zOe_c2BRpGWGrOBTWnXIoaNBxnZ6lA0NRKV1ZzWUpErE_aem_AWVSH7Zg3yOdflrL9DOZ0j1I4JPUg-RpGTzhtMD8aXxdK6xJIFi6floS-SQZ1eCt5tRJlL_lQa-JNwiDBxbXpHut

but it’s way out of my budget. Can you wise women help me find one like this for a fraction of the price? I’m size 10, hourglass, 39 years old and don’t want anything to hug my stomach.

Thank you!

Gosh, you’re speedy @MajorDanger ! I’d barely got round to thinking of hiring. Well done!

(Are you real or AI???🫣)

Thunderingwankgoblet · 11/07/2023 18:34

Sadly the AJE dresses are all out of my budget even in the sale. I don’t really want to hire something, I’d be too worried about spilling something

Seems worthwhile to show the T&Cs for rental from Rites - in case anyone else is pondering … (Can’t guarantee these will come out in the tight order.) Tap to enlarge.

It's a beautiful dress. Are you likely to spill anything?

Fleetress · 11/07/2023 20:51

Good spot, @Nemesia. Also these, though less impressive, from same brand.

Nobody's Child is similar and a fraction of the price but doesn't have the lovely v neck.

That's nice. Nobody'Child has this as well.

Nobody's Child another green dress

I know Maje does something similar

Fleetress · 11/07/2023 21:24

Great minds, @NatashaDancing!

Thunderingwankgoblet · 11/07/2023 21:41

Some of these are gorgeous. I think the nobody’s child dresses are a definite possibility. Thanks all.

Here's one of the Erdem dresses which the Me+Em dress reminded me of.

Another Erdem green dress

Sorry OP way over budget but it is beautiful.

SunonmyFace · 11/07/2023 22:28

Does it have to be green?

or as it is linen you could dye it.?

Another Erdem green dress

Sorry OP way over budget but it is beautiful.

oh God that is gorgeous! But yes too pricey for me, and a bit too yellow toned too.

Thunderingwankgoblet · 11/07/2023 22:32

No no doesn’t need to be green at all. I’m open to reds, pastels, blues…

OP posts:
Thunderingwankgoblet · 11/07/2023 22:35

I’m not likely to spill anything but I do think not owning the dress would give me a touch of unnecessary anxiety!

Is Shona Joy still too $$? Very similar to AJE in a lot of their styles.
