Can you help me find a wedding dress up to £150? I'm size 16. No sleeves no strapless not big I don't wanna look bigger.

I dunno where to look they all seem over my budget 😢

Try jj's house. Had a few dresses from there and they've be great quality. They also do a try before you buy.

Have a look at bridesmaid dresses where the supplier offers multiple colour options to order. Ivory and white are often included in the options (if that's what you are after) but the dresses are much more reasonably priced than those in the wedding dress category. I don't have a specific place to suggest as I got married a very long time ago, but that was what the bridal shop I bought from suggested when I wanted something simpler and cheaper than the 'wedding gowns' they had, and I think it still holds. I hope you find something that makes you feel gorgeous - have a lovely wedding day!

Vinted?

John Lewis has an elegant Monsoon wedding dress called Kate in size 16 reduced to £187.50.

OP why do you not want sleeves?

mrstea301 · 25/01/2025 15:28

Is there a Wed2B in your area? They're great for a range of budgets!

https://www.johnlewis.com/anaya-with-love-shirred-back-tie-shoulder-wedding-dress-ivory/p112714863 Simple but nice and shows on a larger model if you click through. Simple style will definitely be more slimming.

Bridesmaid dress but colour fine as wedding dress (edited to say, sorry, only small sizes in this one but there might be others)

Etsy?

Monsoon Bridal! Even better you can rent bridal dresses 😏 I rented mine for 4 days for £58! It was gorgeous and I received many compliments on it 🥰

If you love the dress you can purchase it ☺️

Can you really do that from Monsoon Bridal, rent a wedding dress? Amazing if so

@HundredPercentUnsure Yep! I got married in December and rented mine ☺️ Came 4 days before the wedding and I returned it right away with no problems. Incredible service!

something like this? £52 for 4 days rental

HundredPercentUnsure · 25/01/2025 22:13

@laesosalt omg they got one I like the look of and in my size. Thank you so much.

How did you navigate the "what if it don't fit or don't suit me?" before your wedding day?

OP posts:
laesosalt · 25/01/2025 22:15

@HundredPercentUnsure You get the chance to return for a bigger size! I was quite certain on my size so maybe rent the dress longer and get it to come sooner. I rented mine 2 days before the wedding but it came 4 days before that (the rental period doesn't start until the day you select but they deliver ahead of that) 🥰

I wore this lace Ralph Lauren lace maxi dress for mine. There's a few on eBay at the moment. I got mine in Tkmaxx for £24.

I’ve just bought mine from coast their sale is really good and there’s discount codes knocking around if it’s not in sale. £120 and the quality is lovely.
