I really like the neck, shoulder detail and back on this inexpensive Monsoon dress. However the material looks thin and the bias cut seams stick out.

I have seen one in Ghost with better material but the rest of the dress is too plain. After department stores and ASOS I don't know where to look now.
I don't suppose anyone has seen similar? Such a good price too.

You could easily have a seamstress attach pieces of detail to the plainer dress. Beaded pieces sewn into the shoulders like this would be easy to do.

That's a good point. Thanks for the links.

The Ghost one has a high back as well though. By the time I have someone drop the back and sew on some fancy bits I'm guessing I could have just have bought a different dress though.
I thought this bit would be the most fun but actually it's really not.

Obviously this is just the high street options- you could then start to look at wedding dress shops - cowl back dresses

Wow wonky! Have you thought about doing this for a living?!

BrimFire · 11/02/2018 21:09

Thanks Wonky. Flowers Looks like it's off to Debenhams for a try on.

They had a nice one in Next too.

I have found Claire Pettibone now....I wish I hadn't

I looked at similar styles and loved Claire Pettingbone. My local bridal shop used to do many samples dresses from her, several of which I nearly bought.

Look on eBay for her dresses. Many people have sample dresses as a business on there. Also Still White.

The one thing you learn is that there are 1000’s and 1000’s of wedding dresses ready to buy. Don’t panic. You can find the one and at a decent price .
