Any ideas of where to look for a dress?

It's my daughter's 18th soon, and she's having a party. She doesn't want to get a dress from Top Shop, River Island or ASOS, as she's worried someone else will turn up in the same dress! Any ideas ( online or otherwise) as to where we could look for something slightly unique? Our budget is £100.

Lipsy should have something within budget - http://www.lipsy.co.uk/store/dress-shop/party-dressesIn the end the journey's brought joys which outweigh the pain.

Oasis has gorgeous dresses.
Maybe All Saints, Urban Outfitters, Zara, Republic, USC, French Connection? All have online stores. You could also try the different concessions at Debenhams.OU Student! - ED209, SDK125, DSE212, SK124, DSE141, SD226, DXR222, DD303, DD307 = BSc Psychology0 -

She might be better looking at a designer shop at a retail village, are there any near to you?0

Or could she buy a dress and customise it so its unique?
My only other suggestion is she has one made, it actually doesn't cost as much as you think.0 -
For £100 you could have something made... or you could try one of the 'custom dresses' from Hong Kong if you have some time (my sister ordered one of these and it was genuinely fantastic).Mortgage | £145,000Unsecured Debt | [strike]£7,000[/strike] £0 Lodgers | |0

If she wants something pretty show stopping and unique you could try http://www.vivienofholloway.com/en/ they make replication 50's dresses in either a rockabilly style or a sleek pencil dress. They are my favourite dress designer and I always get lots of compliments when I wear their dresses
You could also try something like Hell Bunny as they do quite individual dresses in great patterned fabrics - not to everyones taste but an 18 year old might like them. Not much likelihood that someone else will be wearing either of those brands as they are not available on the high street.One day Rodney we'll be millionaires£2020 in 2020 - Running Total £170
