Hey, recently got engaged and we’re hoping for a short engagement and I’m all about keeping costs down - for me it’s all about the marriage but obviously I want to look nice on the day too!

What do people think to this dress? I’m very short at 5 feet and around a size 6-8

If not this one then any other ideas please for a petite bride on a budget?

I think it’s gorgeous!

Ifulikepinacoladas · 28/12/2023 16:50

Yeah it's stunning.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 28/12/2023 16:51

Lovely

Beautiful! Congratulations 🥳

Snippit · 28/12/2023 16:57

Gorgeous, enjoy your wedding day 😬

Thrivenotsurvive · 28/12/2023 16:59

Ahh thank you!

It’s only £83 in the sale 😲 so I’ve ordered two sizes

says model is 5’3 so I’m hoping it won’t be too long on me. Not sure how easy it will be to take up a bit if necessary 🤞🏻

I love it OP! Other good places to look on a budget are Whistles, Karen Millen, LK Bennett & Monsoon (they've got a massive sale on some of their bridal styles at the moment)

Lovely. Are you going to have a veil?

Didn’t really think about a veil, do you think this dress will suit one?

Thank you. I’ve been looking on sites like that but haven’t checked LK Bennett

Lovely!

It's a very pretty dress really like it-and I'm sure quite straightforward to shorten if needed.

EwwSprouts · 28/12/2023 17:07

Gorgeous. I wouldn't add a veil. Go to a dressmaker if it needs turning up.

Thrivenotsurvive · 28/12/2023 17:11

Thank you so much for your opinions. I love it too but thought it was too good to be true at the price and that maybe I’d got bridal fever or something 😂

Stunning dress, excellent find!

Candleabra · 28/12/2023 17:14

Lovely dress.

Rosiiee · 28/12/2023 17:15

Oh long veil would look fab with it! I love it!

Denimdenimdenim · 28/12/2023 17:22

It's a beautiful dress. I had a similar style, I couldn't find a veil that matched well so I ended up without one. Your dress will look beautiful either way! I did yearn for that long veil though - it just wasn't meant to be!

Foxymoxy68 · 28/12/2023 17:37

I think it's absolutely beautiful.
I bought my wedding dress off the rail
from
Monsoon and felt lovely in it despite it not being very expensive.

Ladyj84 · 28/12/2023 18:06

If you need it shortened it doesn't cost that much someone did mine for 30quid. Beautiful dress btw
