    I hope things work out for, and congratulations. You might some useful tips on this thread
    Freebie Successes by Letter / Email - What have you recieved? (merged)

    It is probably worth asking charity shops to contact you if they get a dress in your size, this won't be free, but they may be happy to help as much as they can. Our local charity shops have had loads of dresses recently. I also suggest you contact your local free-cycle group, if you haven't done so already.

    You will have to donate before you can request things.

    If this to stay on the freebies board, you need to send a private message to one of the board guides asking them to merge your two threads.
    These are clogging up the forum.

    as far as i can see th OP is looking for FREE wedding things so yes it does belong here... i have seen posts before askin people if they know where they can get things for free such as baby items so why should this post be removed???
    DON'T JUDGE ME, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO. YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I'VE FELT, OR WHAT I FEEL RIGHT NOW! SO FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME, THAN JUDGE SOMEONE YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

    On their other thread they are, this one is a link to a charity. If people post what they want where they want then the website looses its ease of use.
