  • Are you looking for bride or bridesmaids?
    Any particular style (eg big traditional or slinky / modern?)
  • Why don't you go to a bridal dress shop and try a few on and then look for the ones you like second hand on ebay, preloved etc?

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    alot of bridal shops understand the current climate is not really one to be having extravagent weddings in so many do offer sale days or have a constant supply of reduced samples/old season stock
    try googling the ones in your area, most who have sale rails put it on their website
    heres one

    I am the same OP - can't decide on a dress at all!!! :rotfl:

    Do go to shops and try on dresses, tell them your budget and they should be able to work with it xx

    I was mad just bought one i fell in love with off ebay. £50! I am sure they missed an 0 off. It was 3 years before style i liked brand new with tags and had the actually item photographed and also was uk based seller. I saw someone sell the dress i have for £700 2nd hand recently. You can get fabulous bargains never worn on ebay you just have to drive yourself nutty looking. Or ask for help and we can all have a good look for you.

    My search was for wedding dress, ticked for uk only,recently listed and buy it now And i also put in size on a few searches but if someone doesn't put it in the title you miss them so i trawled through all the different sizes as well.
