Wedding dress like wed4lesa bluebell woods

[Sleepeazie]

Hi, I tried on the bluebell woods long sleeve dress from wed4less and I love the style on me.

we’re only having a low key wedding so I don’t want the £950 price tag. Can anybody find me a decent dupe? I was hoping for max £500.

I particularly love the wrap chest and the long sleeves (although I would be happy with more flowing fluted sleeves ).

I was initially wanting a floral embroidered boho style gown, and would be happy to nod to these elements still.

thanks.

I think my daughter tried on every single brand of reasonably priced wedding dress available online so I’m a bit of an unwilling expert 😂.

The EverPretty dresses are lovely but very lightweight. They’d be great for a beach wedding or if you can’t be doing with too much heavy fabric.

Monsoon dresses are gorgeous. Surprisingly good quality for the price.

Coast dresses are lovely with some really unusual fabrics; you do need good underwear in those though, and it’s worth going up a size and getting minor alterations.

Steer clear of Etsy. They are “made to measure” but often from poor quality fabric, and if they don’t fit it’s tough luck. They will say you measured wrong and you lose your money.

Thanks for steering me right, your knowledge will be put to good use, I promise.

would something like this work? The dress itself has the shape of the bluebell. Remove these sleeves, and have blue bell sleeves made. At that price I might indulgently suggest that you buy 2 to provide fabric for your bespoke sleeve….

Or have a clever seamstress do something with the original sleeves, it is hard to tell how much fabric is there…

another one that could probably have sleeves added

@Sanddancing what a great idea. I’ll look into the sizing of the first dress, as they only have it left in a 12 (that’s my size, but I was 14 or 16 in the wedding dresses at the wedding dress boutique).

Thanks for your help :)

I brought a similar ever pretty dress last year as my original wedding dress, it was lovely and perfect for our small wedding, however I have since lost 7 stone. I’ve now brought a dress from Shein, I was so suprised with the quality for the price. On the other hand I ordered 5 from Coast, their quality and cut was shocking, it also took me weeks and weeks and lots of contact with their customer services to get my money back.
