Find me a dress to get married in - bit of fun but you never know I may buy it

claire21

Getting married in July, 2nd marriage in a registry office and nice meal after, small afair.

Bit of fun, if you find a good dress post it here BUT not a wedding dress in the traditional sense. No meringues.

This might help;

I'm early 40s, fair skin and blonde, 5ft 11, size 14. I look slimmer as so tall but have a bit of a tummy. I am no shrinking violet so you can be a bit on the wild side if you want. Colour not important.

I don't mind full length or shorter as I have decent legs (well I think so lol)

Budget not important but dress price not wedding dress price under £300 shall we say.

How about the "design your own dresses" websites that are around? You get to choose fabrics, style for each part of the dress, and they are very reasonable?

There are lots of bright coloured dresses on the site too so worth having a look if you'd prefer one like that.

Well...................I never thought I'd see the day when our Claire asked US for advice!!!
If you can't find it girl there is no hope..............You are our finder!!!! :A
Maybe if you do find it yourself (highly likely) we should all have a whip round with the money we've saved from your posts and buy it for you

Does ruffle = meringues? Might be too much like a wedding dress look though.

1940s style dress on the Vivien of Holloway site under Women -> Special Occasions -> Sarong Satin with Bolero

Can't post the link as the site thinks I'm a spammer

Have a lovely day in whatever you choose to wear

Have a look at bridesmaid / prom dresses in the wedding shops - lots of choice, especially if you're not looking for a white dress.
For example : http://www.berketexbride.com/acatalog/cara-elle-susie.html

Good luck x

Whatever the weather, July calls for something summery.
The flowery dresses on here almost make me want to take the plunge again!
