Is this nice enough for an Autumn wedding?.

Hi all, I have a wedding at the beginning of October and need a dress. I don't have a lot of money to spare so I can't spend an awful lot. I wondered about this dress?

I think it's lovely- elegant, pretty and Autumnal. The fabric probably isn't stellar at that price but the design is lovely.

lovely,perfect for the wedding

It is lovely, but I'd order it in plenty of time in case, as @Squirrelsnut mentioned, the fabric isn't great. I've ordered a few things from Love & Roses that ended up going back because the quality wasn't good.

Amblesidebadger · 20/08/2024 17:06

Looks ideal!

Oh no, that's a bit disappointing. I can't afford much more than that.

I saw someone at an event recently wearing that dress. They looked amazing. Wasn't close enough to check the fabric.

Worth trying .

usernother · 20/08/2024 17:10

Yes, it's really nice. I think the fabric will be just fine.

stevienicksismyfairygodmother · 20/08/2024 17:10

Perfect - enjoy the wedding

AyrshireTryer · 20/08/2024 17:11

Looks fab. Order it now and then if you don't like it on you can change it, but it looks lovely.

mothsandgoths · 20/08/2024 17:11

If the fabric isn't great you could try wearing a slip underneath it.

Vinted is full of lovely dresses at the moment, so if you're confident about your size that could be a good alternative, I've just bought an unworn Monsoon dress for less than £40.

FeralNun · 20/08/2024 17:37

Great colours for autumn. Order it but agree it’s worth checking out Vinted. You can filter for material if you want to, which gets rid of a lot of the dross!

BotterMon · 20/08/2024 17:39

Gorgeous dress and perfect for autumn wedding.

dbeuowlxb173939 · 20/08/2024 18:02

Yes it's lovely, and you can dress it down to wear again too

Bigcat25 · 20/08/2024 20:52

Great choice op, really like it.

KrazyboutKillian · 20/08/2024 20:55

That’s a lovely dress , perfect for a wedding

Horses7 · 20/08/2024 21:01

Love it

TheAlchemy · 20/08/2024 21:12

So lovely I might need to get this too!

Clarinet1 · 20/08/2024 21:15

I think it’s fine - perfect for a wedding.

Somuchyoungerthanbefore · 20/08/2024 21:15

That's really beautiful ❤️

SirChenjins · 20/08/2024 21:20

Love it! 😊 (And a nice change from the oversized prairie dresses modelled by bored looking models that some on MN hold up as the epitome of style).

GreatDarkWing · 20/08/2024 21:24

It's a lovely dress and I honestly wouldn't stress about the fabric. Some posters on Mumsnet seem to be very sensitive to these things but in real life very few people come out in hives if something isn't purest silk.

Babyworriesreal · 20/08/2024 22:24

Yes it's lovely - I've a few L & R dresses and quality is fine

IfItWereMe · 21/08/2024 00:45

OP,That is gorgeous. I love that dress so much I’m going to order it for an event I have in September. I really wanted a green dress but was struggling to find something I liked. Thank You !! Enjoy your wedding.

Thedogscollar · 21/08/2024 01:15

Beautiful dress. Perfect for an autumn wedding. Great choice.
