I had a look at the design its very pretty. Would you consider the print version mink floral version?

Not as fun but certainly elegant and a bit of a bargain

Thanks Maysie. The bouquet one is in my watched, just in case! I think the design is a little bit on the summery side though, because of the flowers.

The other red one is pretty, but I don't think that waistband and that style/material on the skirt would be very flattering on me.

Oh.... pants pants pants!!! The one I bought today as an "it'll do if I can't get anything better" absolutely will NOT do now I have found the Carmel one!!!

I am debating getting it in black now, as I have found some on ebay, and putting a coloured sash and matching coloured tights with it, as well as maybe a coloured fascinator. What do you think?

I'd say coloured sash and matching fascinator, with black (not opaque!) or flesh-coloured tights, and coloured shoes. Coloured tights might be a bit much, IMO. But that's just my opinion, and I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me, so go for what you feel best in!

It's a gorgeous dress by the way, I want one now....must.....resist......

Get the accessories out! Nice bright little jacket or bolero with matching facinator and bright shoes and contrasting necklace.

Update... went to a different monsoon today, and they didn't have it either, so I thought I'd ring the next nearest... they had both the red and the mink in a size 20!!! I was soooo excited I reserved both, then as I was out all day sent my lovely fiance to collect them for me.
Now I need to decide which colour I prefer!!!
Thanks guys!

Yay Emz! Glad you found your dresses. I don't think I could trust myself not to keep both :rotfl:


On a different note, what IS it with the *CENSORED*ing spammers in the last couple of days?? Must be Christmas.....

Haha White Sapphire... Thankfully the mink doesn't suit my skintone at all!!! In the shop we thought it was maybe the light, but it's not at all, it's just totally wrong for me!

So I'm wearing the red one. Can't wait! It's hung on my wardrobe door because I can't bear to put it away and hide it!

Hello everyone!

I have been looking for aaaaaaages and have finally found 'the one'!!:j Its Paloma Blanca 4067 with the chanpagne sash (sorry i cant post a link)...

I have been offered the ex sample dress for £1000 (full price £1400) but this is at the very top of my budget (and thats without shoes, jewellery, veil, hoop etc etc!!). The sample is a size 12, but would have to be altered...ideally i'm looking for a a size 8 or 10.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can find it cheaper? It is being held until tomorrow afternoon so i am desperately searching preloved etc but have not found it so far...any help/advice/ideas gladly appreciated!!!!:)
