Hi
Wonder if anyone can give me some advice. My cousin is getting married in September this year and i've been asked to be maid of honour. I know she's on a tight budget so i said i'd pay for my dress. i don't won't to spend over £100 (less if possible). She's choosen lilac as a colour scheme, lots of places like next, debenhams only have pinks etc. Where is a good place to look?
Thanks in advance

Ebay sell new dresses too. Look for ones marked BNWT (brand new with tags) if you want a new one rather than pre-worn.Here I go again on my own....0
