Please help-I need a beautiful dress for a wedding!!!!!

[WhasThisAllAbout]

Hi everyone,

this is my first thread I've started,so excuse any incorrect etiquette! You ladies have helped me as a lurker so I thought I'd dive in! (honestly,the All Saints dress thread amused me no end!)

Ok, so I have a wedding mid May and am at a total loss for what to wear, I'm quite young-24 and have an OK figure,size 6-8, only 5ft and lacking in any form of boobs! I'm not a Mom (not sure if this matters,but thought i'd give a full picture!)

I want to steer clear of Monsoon and Coast and any other really obvious 'wedding guest' shops-it's quite a big wedding and think there's a huge possibility of buying the same dress as someone else.

Oh goodness-Reading back this sounds an impossible challenge and I don't think I'm making myself clear.....so really ladies.....,even just some shop (or online) suggestion of where you would look for wedding guest outfits?

Thanks for getting this far-and thanks again for all the previous tips I've picked up!

French connection have some nice dresses

as do Ted Baker

whats your budget?

Sorry, in my quest to give all the details I forgot that-I'm thinking about £100, preferably less but I would also push the boat out for the right thing!

There are a few Ted Baker pieces which I like,possible fall backs but not THE dress iyswim?x!

Thank you for replying!

Goodness please excuse typos etc, I'm on my iPhone!

Thank you both!

Ted Baker; what do we think of this? I'm short so it'll be longer on me- but is it slightly over priced?

(Also will it swamp me? I have petite shoulders)

Sorry - can't get your links to work

A few suggestions

slightly over budget

lovely

House of Fraser website is worth a look. ASOS and Aftershock websites also worth a try

Someone linked to this site a few weeks back, never used it myself but some of the dresses are gorgeous and quite cheap. has stuff on sale too here

Oooh hellbent those dresses are nice

Damn you for finding me a new shopping site

I can not recommend this amazing website highly enough! I went to a wedding a few weeks back and she made me a beautiful dress based on a dress I had seen kelly brook in.

The desgn didn't match any of the 'templates' or fabrics on the website but I sent her a message and showed her the design and she said it was easy enough for her to do and she would source fabric; she made it in about 9 days & it fits likes a glove!

Literally everyone at the wedding asked me where my dress was from - I loved it! Wish I had a pic to show you

PS> she also has a ready to wear shop here if you want a nose. I think I paid about £140 for my dress, to me that's a bargain for a custom made dress!

Hellbent thank you for that site - I have a wedding to go to in October and www.feverdesigns.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=EDRS_Pink&cat=2 have fallen in love with this dress!]]

try again
