My sister needs an AMAAAAZING wedding outfit

She is in her 20s and Kylie-sized and needs a fabulous dress for a wedding v v soon (for various reasons she really really needs to look fab) - dress will be a bday present from family so budget less important than fabulousness. She has been shopping, been on net-a-porter and similar but can't find anything at all. Anyone seen anything lovely?

Velvet - too hot?

S1ur · 27/04/2008 21:34

red again

Shall I stop with the scarlet? What is budget?

OK - I have figured out that I can email her the links without getting her on here. So - she is in late 20s, has been with brother of groom for 8 or so years and no talk of engagement. Brother of groom met bride 18 months ago, bish bash bosh wedding. So she is a tad sensitive around the whole wedding prep stuff, keeps getting asked when it will be her turn etc etc. Wants to look stunning, just from a self-esteem point of view.

This is fab if she has boobs or has a good enhancing bra

I know it is sooo lovely. Says its light green though looks very white to me...

Blimey Slur - flashing her bits might well get a proposal

Stupidly over budget but stunning

lovely

pretty

Tilly, how lovely is the stupidly over budget one!! But they put the wrong shoes with it, I think

OP posts:

Just checking back and bah still can't find it.

there this, is a bit wow but is she London based?

Have you suggested she try getting a dress made for her? With that budget and enough time she could get a custom made amazing dress exactly fitting her.

TillyScoutsmum · 27/04/2008 22:03

God yes - the shoes are minging

If your sister is a size 10, teeny Kylie thing with big norks - her boyfriend must be insane not to have popped the question

Hope you get something sorted

Ah Slur but she has 3 weeks or something. I don't know why she's left it so late, I think she thought with her budget she'd be sure to find something.

I have been shopping for weeks for a perfect dress (admittedly with a muchmuch smaller budget) It is Hard.

Hope it goes brilliantly for her.

Tilly I know!! She is actually a small size 8 with big norks and lovely lovely looking. And the loveliest person. And blonde. Naturally. Would hate her if she wasn't my sister. A bit slavishly devoted to this bloke who is not always nice to her. He is mad, really. But what can you do?

TillyScoutsmum · 27/04/2008 22:21

head turner

TillyScoutsmum · 27/04/2008 22:22
