Hi everyone, I’m looking for some help and advice on finding a wedding dress.

A bit of background — I’m 35 and getting married for the second time. We’re having a small, intimate ceremony at the town hall, followed by a meal at the restaurant where we had our first date, just with close family.

I’m really struggling to find a dress I like. I’m hoping for something quite simple, ideally with sleeves (or something I could add sleeves to).

One of the challenges I’m facing is that over the past 4 years I’ve lost 14 stone, so I have a significant amount of loose skin, particularly around my arms. I’d really like something that helps me feel comfortable and confident.

I’m also working with a budget of around £500, and size 18/20

If anyone has suggestions for styles, shops, or even specific dresses that might suit, I’d really appreciate the help. Thank you so much 🤍

Low stock in sizes 18 and 20.

Phase eight has quite a few nice jackets if you get something without sleeves.
I search occasionwear and filtered to white/cream/metallic.
