    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!
    Hi RainbowDrops if you have no joy finding the dress 2nd hand try the M&S discount code thread you should be able to get something off the price, maybe even post on the thread, someone might be able to help.
    Booo!!!

    you're a star thank you. Unfortunately Fantasia bridal don't stock the one i want to try on. But I'll try the others
  • I found my dream dress in a wedding shop, but they wouldn't let me take pics. It was only £299 but it was so lovely and sparkly, and comes with a new shawl type thing that is also sparkly. I will have that made into a bolero and the rest of the material hanging down by back

    Anyway, it had a label on it saying 'Sapphire' and on the label, the store had written it was the style called 'Laura'

    Google has not returned the result, so has anyone else seen this and know where I can find any pics please?

  • It's neither of those 2

    It's ivory, strapless, with a band of sparkly things, very small pearls across the top. The top is straight, and comes quite high so no cleavage really showing

    It has a small train (I don't know what it is called, but it sits like a puddle around your feet). The back is more of the pearls and sparklies and it comes with a net wrap

    I'm begininning to wonder if laura is just the name given by the shop but doesn't relate to the real dress at all. Worst case I will have to wait until I've paid for the deposit, but thanks for looking :-)
