Looking for a dress for a wedding.....

frugallass

Hi guys, I wonder if you can help me find a dress for my friend's wedding in October - I've been looking on the Monsoon website and have seen a couple I like but also want to see what else is out there......I've been on John Lewis, Debenhams, House of Fraser and Wallis websites but am struggling to think of other shops to look at - my budget is £100 maximum. I'm 40 years old and a size 12, so nothing too 'young' please

Thanks in anticipation

Try Coast. Might be a bit over your budget, but they're having a sale on, so you could bag yourself a bargain.

Karen Millen?
Laura Ashley?
Boden?

Depends on your style! Have you tried M&S? they sometimes have surprisingly pretty dresses and you could fancy them up a little with funky accessories

Hobbs often have some lovely dresses as well. OR you could be incredibly MSE and have a shufti on ebay

A second vote for Hobbs - still some in "the sale" on their website.

I don't know what that is anymore haha

I've had a look at M&S but nothing there jumped out at me

Thanks for the suggestions peeps, I appreciate it !

I don't know how tall you are so I'm assuming you're average height. I've gone for dresses mostly in a variety of styles and colours. Here's what I found:

Hi there,

I recently bought this dress which I think would look good for a wedding and can be accessorized in many ways (sophisticated with silver or pearls for day - sparkly jewellery and clutch bag for evening - could change the belt for a coloured/sparkly one...)

also available in white

The material doesn't show up well in the photo - it has a bit of a sheen to it.

Free returns (I ordered both size 10 and 12 and returned the one that didn't fit)
Quidco 2% but not on partial returns)
Check for discount codes too

Look at these beauties a poster talked about on here a wee while back. Fabulous and they're not even that expensive either.

I always check eBay, you can find the same Monsoon dress for a fraction of the proce sometimes.

I';ve just bought this one from monsoon and it's lush. Had lots of compliments. You can funk it up with beaten up boots and a long necklace, or make it smart for a wedding withheels. It's a perfect autumn dress too and I can see it being a staple for the rest of the year
