Monsoon Bargain Dress

I have just picked up a wedding dress bargain at the Monsoon Outlet store in Cheshire Oaks - Its a couple of seasons old, called Odette it was only £30! They had a whole rack of dresses, mostly smaller sizes but a mine was a 16, which I can get taken in so it will fit perfectly:j

I wouldn't like to say whether they always have them in stock, so if you are going to make a special trip, so it probably would be worth giving them a call first.

I cried after I tried it on. I had almost given up as I wanted a shorter dress and had a fab frock, but I have got pregnant through IVF! As it was our 2nd time I had plowed ahead with plans not believing it would work, and consequently I am flying to St Lucia in 3 weeks and I am still swollen from the treatment with no signs of my stomach going down! I could dance with happiness!
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja- vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before

    Loving the dress and what a bargain!!

    I cant go to Cheshire Oaks because I always want loads from Tula!

    We may be going soon though (even though it's only 15 mins away) to look at the suits in Jeff Banks and Ted Baker, for OH.

    Isn't there a Coast there too? Could have a look there for daughters bridesmaid dress, but we'll deffo pop in and see what Monsoon have first x

    Yes there is a Coast...and Oasis and Karen Millen. There's also one larger store that has several designers in...Planet, Jacques Vert and several others. I got a bargain there recently, went in for a dress for a posh dinner, was undecided between 2 so decided to take both and return one when I'd made my mind up properly. When they rang them through and the total was £58 it would have been rude not keep both :)

  • Thanks everyone! Just need to buy industrral strength scafolding now. Got measured in the Playtex/Wonderbra shop and I've shot up from a 34d to a 36FF!

    So can anyone recommend a good place for that? I know I will end up spending more on the underwear than the frock, but I don't care!

    i got my dress from a monsoon outlet called junction 32 in castlefield near leeds. It is the ophelia dress and was £30 reduced from £200.
    I'm going to splurge and treat myself to nice underwear and jewellery seen as i got such a bargain. I too need a reccommendation for reasonably priced underwear for larger assets so i'll keep an eye on this thread!
