    The Dolly Couture Beverlywood is still my favourite

    Gorgeous dress sk00bie :T!
  • I am wearing a tea length dress, when I started dress shopping I wanted the full princess dress but I tried on loads and never got that 'the one' feeling. I saw this dress hung up in the shop and thought wow but didn't think it would suit me, I'm only 5'2 do it is a bit longer than what it should be but I love it

    This is my dress but mine is ivory

    I'm found these shoes but not sure if they are bling enough, I'm wearing a birdcage veil which is attach to a headband with bow so kind of ties in nicely

    I saw these advertised in a mag, could be worth a look

    Oh miss_w I love that dress too, it's definately on my 'to try on list'!

    Love the shoes as well, if you want more bling, have a look at Charlize by Benjamin Adams, I am so tempted by them!

    I love Madame Butterfly too, but they're a tad expensive. :(

    I adored Fly Dragon Fly's tea length dress!


    (P.S Sorry I was so excited about a 'tea length dress' I didn't see your budget!)

    How stange, haven't posted for a while and was just browsing and saw i was mentioned hehe thanks for the love.

    I choose my dress for the same reasons as you, I have a son and didn't want to drag my dress around or have to carry it at all, you have so much more freedom in a knee length / tea dress and you will not regret spinning round in it and you'll get some awesome photos promise!! It's soooo fun!

    I think of all the photos I've seen on here since I joined yours are the only ones that really stand out. I just adore the photos of your red shoes, and all the snowy pictures!! :)

    I did :o but I loved your first wedding's photos so much I don't think any would beat them!! (I love the snow!)... besides you didn't have your red shoes :rotfl:
  • I'm having both...hopefully! I bought my ful length dress in the sale, and it has a full ballgown style tulle skirt. The dress is actually a corset and seperate skirt, so i thought for the evening reception I would have a tea length skirt made. It will all depend on the cost, as a friend of a friend is hopefully going to make it. Fingers crossed! x

    lol i would have worn them but i couldn't find them! x
  • I also love the tea length dresses - the full on style just isn't me.

    they always remind me of Alice in wonderland, and as we are having a tea party afterwards I may have just persuaded my self to try one.
