Wedding dress help

[gotomomo]

I'm getting married. Second time for both, I'm size 16 and middle aged but it's a proper church wedding (I attend) and will be full.

What on earth do I wear???

Budget is £500 max and I do want it to feel wedding like but I don't want to look like mutton dressed as lamb. Long sleeves preferred (but can be lace) as I have a medical condition I'm self conscious about.

Hive minds here, help me feel amazing.

One last thing, no huge train as I'm 5'6 and need to walk to restaurant

Are you looking for a full wedding dress or something that could double as a wedding dress (if you get my drift)?

There are lots of worn once sites that might have something suitable. Something like these might work:

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5

Option 6

If you have any way of getting to Stockton on Tees I can't recommend this place enough. It's run by a lovely lady called Lisa who would be able to find you an amazing dress. You can see them on FB and TikTok too

I meant to also say in my earlier post - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! The key here is to get something that you're comfortable in and that you won't be fidgeting in when you have it on.

There are also these ones that might work for you.

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Option 5

Option 6

Option 7

Thank you. My friend lives need Stockton so I might give her a try in January.

I think I want it to be a proper dress, but something I won't be tripping in (can hem to ankle length so no need to bustle.

Here are a few more that might work based on that update:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Option 4
Option 5

All of these are well within your budget. Don't forget about the shoes!
