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 gorgeous, and I also don’t get what the fuss over the fabric is all about! If I was paying £50 I’d expect it to be good quality, it’s not like we’re talking about an £8 dress from Primark!

LindaDawn · 21/08/2024 12:54

I really like it.

philosoppee · 21/08/2024 13:01

I very rarely love dresses I click on on Mumsnet but this one is gorgeous.

I think often people are disappointed when stuff turns up and it feels like a cheap dress from primark. I’m not a fan of polyester. It makes me feel sweaty and it clings and not in a good way. Fabric is often my first check when shopping online, even on Vinted it’s good to check as some peoples idea of a silk dress or a wool jumper just means it looks a bit like one and is made from the dreaded polyester.

Found it! Scroll down on the website for all the hideous pictures of how they styled it.

Well it needed a bra that’s a certainty. Otherwise an upward tilted teams camera!

It’s not made from polyester- it’s viscose.

yes good dress, as others have said get a good full body under slip to help with the fabric movement over your body.. fake tan legs or good colour tights.

£213 for a ribbed jersey top??! Who are these people?

Precisely. I thought it looked like something you'd get for £8 from Tammy Girl back in the 90s.

HonoraBridge · 21/08/2024 14:37

Yes, the green Next dress is lovely.

MiniCooperLover · 21/08/2024 14:52

I've seen this in store and the fabric is actually quite nice.

Crazykefir · 21/08/2024 17:24

Go for it OP. I'd style it with a long coat.

FraterculaArctica · 21/08/2024 17:27

Lovely - wish more people had worn something like that to our autumn wedding! (They all seemed to wear brown instead) 🙄

TheSquareMile · 21/08/2024 18:09

Yes, I think it will look very nice!

Moveoverdarlin · 21/08/2024 18:22

Looks perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever said that on one of these types of threads before. Usually I think WTF.

tsmainsqueeze · 21/08/2024 18:29

Lovely !

Geosmin · 21/08/2024 18:37

Very pretty dress. I like viscose. The viscose clothes I've had over the years all hang well.

LlynTegid · 21/08/2024 20:38

Like it OP.

NewName24 · 21/08/2024 21:22

Very elegant and not out of place at a wedding at all, but if your budget is tight, I second looking on Vinted, or in charity shops.

RuthW · 21/08/2024 21:46

Will look lovely with a fascinator and buttonhole

Countingcactus · 21/08/2024 22:22

Love it!

Boredshitless1 · 21/08/2024 22:24

Absolutely gorgeous.Great choice.

BCBird · 21/08/2024 22:27

That is very classy OP

luckylavender · 22/08/2024 15:30

Lovely
