Hello Milkybars! Have you tried Oxfam? They have several specialist bridal stores. Here's their website for more info. https://www.oxfam.org.uk/shops/content/bridal.html
They also have a pitch at the V Festival and sell their bridal dresses for £25 so there's always loads of drunken folks staggering around in a white frock and wellies covered in mud!

I am so jealous goanmad. But good news is my favourite boot sale is starting tomorrow now instead of next weekend because of the lovely weather. I am going to a party tonight so will have to have a drink free evening and leave early to get up at 6am

Unfortunately i never seem to get anything thats worth out. I never have any money to buy the good jeans when they come in.:rolleyes:

That's dedication!

juliespencer - yes I think they would go on ebay if they were the real deal. Nine West is quite a good make. I sold some Nine West shoes on ebay a couple of months back and got RRP for them... which was nice as I got them for free in a competition but they weren't wide enough for my feet.

milkybars, thats fab getting the rrp, i wish id brought the bags now damn....
im going to 2 bootsales tommow, maybe the lady will be there again selling as she had loads of named stuff, she looked pretty posh and loaded...hehe

I have been enviously reading this thread for a few days and finally decided to go to a local jumble where I picked up a pair of working mk3 ghd's for £1! Was slightly shocked at some peoples attitudes though, one lady even tried to walk out with an arm full of clothes without paying despite the max. price per item being 25p When she was stopped and asked to pay she decided she didnt want half the stuff any way!
