    Have you ever looked at Kitty and Dulcie's Boutique? I'm currently banned from putting links on... So try removing the boutique and replacing it with a .com!

    The bodice of my dress is very like the Pearly Queen but the whole dress has a lace overlay and long skirt.

    It is. The bodice is very structured and nipped in at the waist, really feminine and flattering! The skirt falls beautifully in folds. It's very 1950s style. Grace Kelly is my style icon so I adore that silhouette.

    It is expensive but I'm coming around to the thought that it will be worth every penny.

    Sigh...

    I felt a bit sick when I decided on my dress. Previously I had intended on spending no more than £100. I spent £700!!! But I think it will be worth every penny to feel a million dollars.

    Good for you.

    I wish mine cost £700! :rotfl: But I know what you mean. It's a lot of money for ONE dress that you will only wear on ONE day. But it's the ONE day that you will look back on forever with happy memories and feel like a movie star in your amazing dress :)

    The dress I got was half price as ex sample! I will sell it on again after too. We set off with good intnetions and then decided 'what the hell' too. Well I did, as OH has no idea about budgeting etc!
