Abbey Clancy wedding dress?! Help please!

Hi there, my best friend is getting married in 2013, and I'm trying to help her find a dress. She's insisting that its like Abbey Clancy's dress link. Can anyone help point us in the right direction? Money no object at the moment, just trying to find the right style and then money thoughts come after!

    I've just has a quick look on a couple of websites and found these possibilities of similar sort of style....

    As has been said above, almost every designer will do mermaid style dresses such as these. Dress shops will have at least one in the style.
    Also, advice from a bride to be who tried on over 40 dresses in about 12 shops... don't rule anything out!
    I "knew" exactly what I wanted, so refused to try anything else on, when in fact, 9 months later when I tried something that was not what I wanted on, it was PERFECT!
    Sometimes the image in your head is not quite right in reality!

    I can second that!!
    I knew exactly what i wanted, but ended up with something completely different - but everybody who has seen me in it (including the dressmaker who did the alterations) all said the ame thing - "wow - you definitely bought the right dress for you, didn't you!"

    Bloomin glad as it cost more than the dresses i wanted too lol
