    I tried on a Sottero and Midgeley Landis and nearly cried because it was so beautiful! But, it was way too stiff and heavy for a wedding beside a chapel on a Greek beach in September! Oh, AND it was £1200 (I think - have tried to block it from my memory).
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

  • I tried a Hollywood dreams dress on for 2.5k - beautiful dress, but couldnt justify that sort of money on one dress!!!

    I always said i would have a big princess dress, but ended up buying an a-line spun gold Benjamin Roberts dress off the peg - reduced from 2k to 1.6k to 900 to 445 pounds!

  • My sisters' wedding dresses would have cost £1800 and £2200 to buy new (though the most expensive one did include a little jacket and a sash which you could buy separately). However my dad's cousin who is an amazingly talented seamstress and can replicate a dress just by looking at it made both dresses and I think they came in at around £500 each.

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")
