a bit gutted really, dress related

lelole

Hi, I know you have gone a little bit past having a look at people's suggested dresses on this thread now - but I am having a destination wedding and had the exact opposite problem to you - I wanted a traditional wedding dress, but none seemed suitable. I tried on the most beautiful dress from Benjamin Roberts which wasn't traditional enough for me, but I suspect may offer a comprimise between yourself and your partner - have a look - http://www.benjaminroberts.co.uk/5070-p-678.html

Hope it helps,

Leah

I think that is really lovely lelole and is a good compromise.

One of my ladies went to Hawaii and had a Amanda Wyatt full length lace gown. She looked amazing. Sequins picked up the sunlight beautifully. Traditional but comfy without the 'full' skirt.

how about a grecian Jenny packham type dress? still 'traditional' but more comfortable maybe, and a compromise? there was a fab one on dont tell the bride last night!

ps dont forget to let us know what you pick!

that is a very lovely dress!

I will look at everyone elses, i need to set some time aside and go through them. What i'd really rather see is everyone in their dresses. I think proper people look better than the models they put in!!

I was having another look online last night and h2b said that the ones that come below the knee are fine, just not the ones shorter than that. He's such a fussy sod!

I have to be a bit careful because of my shape, Ive got rather big norks, and a short body, so when i've looked at some of the grecian ones they make my norks look even bigger, which makes me look bigger.

Don't go for empire line. Makes a heavy bustline look bigger as does halterneck.
I would try a v neckline. This is lovely.

I like that, it's nice. Not sure if it's me. Feels a little grown up which is a daft thing to say, i'm 28!

If It helps to see this is my original £30 dress from monsoon.

And this is me in my second choice dress

Once I tried it I knew it was the right one as nice as the first one was this one just felt more right for me
