Help! I need a dress

11 replies

Diddledumpling22 · 24/02/2021 20:30

Since Boris has announced lockdown restrictions lifting it looks like my July wedding may now go ahead. Only problem is I was convinced it wouldn't and have no dress. Probably a bit late to do the whole bridal boutique, trying on, alterations thing now. And I wasn't really looking forward to that anyway. But obviously I do need something!

Can anyone recommend any good online bridal sites? It's an outdoor summer wedding and I would like something quite laid back, light and bohemian. I like swishy material and chiffon. Any ideas for sites would be greatly appreciated :-)

My dress is from monsoon and I love it. Haven't started the alterations process yet and our wedding is in June so you definitely haven't missed the boat on that side of things Smile

I had the same last year! I got a gorgeous reds from ASOS in the end, they had a lovely range and the quality was excellent.

There are some lovely dresses on ASOS but I was worried about quality and fit. Might be worth a punt!

Phase Eight is great, I ordered a couple and tried them all on at home, the idea of a big trip to wedding shop was my idea of hell!
I was delighted with my dress.
You could then try a bridal shop for accessories if you need them.
Happy hunting!

Another vote for Monsoon.

Also John Lewis. Bit of a pain having to order and pay up front and send back though.

ASOS dress here too. Fit was good, perhaps a teeny bit on the small side but nothing compared to actual wedding dresses. Quality was good for the cost. Obviously they’re not as well fitted and structured as a “proper” wedding dress but for our summer wedding it is perfect

Asos dress quality very bit and miss.
Ghost, needle and thread?

What’s your budget? This site has gorgeous dresses. I almost bought mine from here a few years back and still have a little twinge of regret that I didn’t!

Both of mine are from Monsoon - I'm between sizes so there are two different dresses. Beautiful and very reasonably priced.

Diddledumpling22 · 24/02/2021 21:30

Monsoon has some gorgeous ones! Thank you lovely lot. The indiebrides ones are right up my street but sadly not my budget 🙈
