What do you think of this dress?

[PinkTulips]

dress

it's for a june wedding, catholic church, manor house hotel reception. i like it alot but think it might be too boring/old?

and what shoes? would love to get red but need someone to tell me if that's a daft idea

lol... he won't need to be fed in the church hopefully, it's longish coach ride there and back from the reception venue which is where we're staying so i'll try and get him to feed as much as possible on the way there.

I like the third one in your link but it's sold out, must be popular.

or this? Looks nice with the elt but not without imo

ladidadi... it's nice but it's definitely not me iykwim?

Yep, twinset and the others are right - EVERYONE wears Coast and Monsoon to weddings these days. If you're going to spend up to £220, you definitely don't want to see a couple of others in the same outfit. Personally I like the first dress you mentioned, but not the others, but for the same price or less, you could get an amazing designer dress from the new website from Net-a-Porter, which is called theoutnet.com - last season's clothes, at massively discounted prices - ok, it's still not exactly dirt cheap, but you can dresses here for LESS than Monsoon and Coast.
Go to the discount section - I saw two lovely Issa dresses, the first reduced from £514 to £206, and the other reduced from £387 to £153!!! There are some amazing things on there, from designers such as Matthew Williamson, Stella McCartney, etc. Let me know what you think!

Aaah, LaDiDaDi, I see you beat me to it with Outnet!

am searching that site now... might be here a while with my crappy internet.

not really sure what my budget is, dp is doing his very sweet but completely unhelpful 'spend whatever you want, you deserve a lovely dress' speech .... not sure he realises how expensive that could get

can you wear black to a wedding?

I guess so, but it's a bit ordinary imo, and dreary for a June wedding. Why do black, when there are so many beautiful colours and prints around? Did you see the Issa dresses yet?I think they're fab, and you could prob bf in them. I have a lovely Issa 'cape' dress, and wear it loads, even over skinny jeans when it's colder.

issa one here, I am not sure.

I like this one and it has buttons I think it only has tiny sizes left though

good god, size 2? [faints]

not mad about the issa one tbh, the shape and style is lovely but the colours make me cringe a bit

It is an american 2 which I think is a 6, but still tiny.

good god, just noticed it's half 12.... bloody school run in the morning!

thanks for all your help ladies, think i'm back to square one but at least i know what to steer clear of

feel free to post up links to any amazingly gorgeous, breastfeeding and huge bra friendly dresses for 300 euros or under you happen to stumble across

lack of sleep showing there, i just started 2 posts in a row with 'good god' i'm not even paticularily religious!
