Find my dress/shoes etc thread!

i've been checking online but wanted to check with you wonderful bargain hunters if anyone can find a Maggie Sottero - Adelaide dress for under £500

think it's going to be the one for me but it's killing me to pay so much for a dress that i'm only going to wear once.

i'm a size 16 (hopefully down a size or two though by the wedding), 5' 7

i know i still have to have a look at some other bridal shops to see what the prices are like but i thought it would be an idea to have a look online too.

thanks

Hello, I have a non-urgent request.
I'm interested to try on a M&S dress that seems to only be available online.
I'd rather not buy it & return it, as I don't have a whole lot of cash to hand right now.
But if it's possible to get hold of a cheap 2nd hand one to try (I have a dress maker friend who might be willing to buy it off me), that'd be great.

Here's the dress:
http://www.marksandspencer.com/Autograph-Occasions-Draped-Grecian-Wedding/dp/B0021ZMYBK?ie=UTF8&qid=1271336151&categoryNodeID=42967030&ref=sr_1_1&page=&node=213281031&sr=1-1&mnSBrand=core&rh=

Size 8, 10 or 12 will do - I'm a 10, but M&S are sometimes generous.

Thanks in advance!

Where abouts are you? I got mine in a little bridal shop!

Sorry only just seen this.

I am in Devon so can see me trawling back through the bridal shops locally to see if I can see any suitable shoes to try on.

Thanks for all the brill suggestions :T

These are in Poole, but Devon is a big old place so hopefully not miles away!

Thanks for that. It is quite a way but may be worth it if no joy locally. Did want to try some on before buying to check comfort
