I foolishly had a wobble and didn't buy the dress and it's now sold out everywhere (I can see) in my size 16/18.

Does anyone have any other ideas for tracking it down. It's a Monsoon bridal dress. Camilla

OR something similar.

Many thanks

I think it's a gorgeous dress, and I'm really pleased it came back into stock. I'm sure you will feel beautiful wearing it.

ChizzleMeNizzzle · 25/01/2024 13:38

Yee gads, it's beautiful!

BarrelOfOtters · 25/01/2024 14:53

It's a lovely dress.

NewYear24 · 25/01/2024 15:30

OP I can’t wait to see your update when you’ve tried it on. Hopefully you can say to the dress.

BlueGrey1 · 25/01/2024 19:07

That’s great, send us a pic of you wearing it

HalfWomanHalfHobnob · 25/01/2024 19:37

I'm so pleased you found it, and am very sorry to hear about the health issues. I'm sure you will look stunning for your renewal of vows. Thinking of you, OP 💐

ChocoChocoLatte · 27/01/2024 18:35

It is here. And it is beautiful. I'm so pleased I didn't buy the 14 as I think that wouldn't have set me back mentally.

It has some sparkly/shiny bits I wasn't expecting. I'm not a blingy/ shiny person but they're not too much.

I haven't had a great try of it because we're just home and the house is busy but I will do soon.

Not overly impressed with JL's packaging but it was certainly delivered speedily enough!

Thank you again everyone for all your kind help AND well wishes. Just have to convince DH to marry me again now, he says he already made that mistake 20yrs ago Grin

Great news!

Have been following and occasionally checking online for the dress.
so pleased you tracked it down, I’m sure you’ll look beautiful!

Hall84 · 27/01/2024 21:32

Wonderful news!

Googlelafy · 27/01/2024 23:41

I adore your dress. Love the neckline, sleeves and the way it falls. It is beautiful. Enjoy

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 28/01/2024 04:01

Lovely update. I’m so pleased. Have a wonderful day x

Oblomov23 · 28/01/2024 06:02

Pleased. Enjoy.

Blueink · 28/01/2024 06:16

I wondered when u said about the bling as it seemed very similar to the one I posted early on from Coast (when looking for an alternative) … also the back 🤣 but so glad the Monsoon dress like a dream and you are pleased with it!

IMO Monsoon sizing is not big was more thinking 16 and 18 to be on the safe side, but glad it wasn’t necessary.

Have you not got a date yet OP?

You will look (and most importantly!) feel amazing knowing u have lots of MNetters cheering you on through the dress!

Zamazenta · 28/01/2024 09:51

@ChocoChocoLatte enjoy the dress and looking gorgeous in it xxx

Schoolrunmumbun · 28/01/2024 16:49

Yayy OP! Brilliant news. I've been searching for it for you too because I am now searching for an out of stock Monsoon wedding dress too! (Lilian in size 10).

Your story gives me hope and I'm so pleased for you! Have a fabulous re-wedding! 🤍

It's definitely worth keeping an eye on vinted for that one - there's a few up there. Unfortunately not a 10 at the moment.

ChocoChocoLatte · 28/01/2024 21:51

@Schoolrunmumbun thanks! Good luck with your search 🤞🏻

Hooray for Monsoon! Same thing happened to me- they emailed me to say it's back in stock!

Thanks for all the help on my thread 🤍
