High Street Simple Wedding Dress - particularly Whistles ones?

[DearDiary321]

Just wondering if anyone on here has bought a wedding dress from Whistles and if so, do you have any photos you can share of it on please and your opinions on them? Or if not Whistles, any other high street places? Specifically looking for brides who actually bought and wore a high street wedding dress please 😊

As you can see from the links below, I like quite plain dresses, but I am open to other styles. Just probably not strapless.

I'm 5ft 8, size 10 with a smallish chest.

I particularly like these:

I also quite like this one from Reformation:

Any advice would be great if you bought your wedding dress on the high street 😊

We have super similar taste as I have tried in all these dresses!
Sadly, none of them did me any favours (not well lined so you can see the lining and any lumpy bits easily.) However, as you are slim they might work well for you! Are you near London? You can try the whistles bridal dresses at their flagship store and you might be able to get the reformation one ordered to the London store?
I ordered the lecee online and it took an age to come, it was on pre-order and was posted from US.

You like dresses from ghost

I also ordered a few from ChiChi London as a last ditch attempt and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. They have some plain ones! www.chichiclothing.com/collections/wedding-dresses

Happy wedding dress shopping

Wow as if you tried on all of these! This is really useful to know. What dress did you end up going for in the end? A high street one or one from a bridal shop? Also were they all easy to return? Especially the lecce one that came from the US.

I'm quite far from London unfortunately or I would definitely be going in to see them

Thank you! There's not one on Ghost that I like enough to have as a dress for me but I do think they are lovely.

I've looked on Chi Chi London too actually and did quite like some so this is good to know!

Where did you end up getting your dress from in the end?

I ended up with one from a bridal shop (with only 6 weeks to spare before the big day!) I absolutely loved some of the high street ones but they just weren't well- lined enough to cover my sins. The lecce came up small (I have big boobs and it went nowhere near them sadly.) I returned it via a prepaid DHL service and as I paid by PayPal it had the money back within a month.
The whistles dresses are very good, I would recommend ordering one or two to try :-)
