Help me find a wedding dress!

I adore this dress by Sottero & Midgley but unfortunately it is far too expensive for my wedding budget! Has anyone seen anything anywhere similar to this but cheaper? (don't really want to spend more than £300). I really want a white lacy dress with short sleeves like this. Thanks in advance :j

I feel your pain. I also tried this one on before I found out the price. £1550 way too much, easily the most expensive I tried on.
I got my maggie sottero dress from preloved, different style but still nice and lacy. Was £600 as an ex sample. From what I've seen you'll struggle to buy a new lace dress for your budget. I'd nearly given up.
I suggest searching pre loved and eBay, then google 'dress name sale' and see if you find anything. Worked for me!

Otherwise consider a dressmaker or a Chinese dress.

Sorry, I haven't seen one, the only thing I know which might help, I saw on some wedding programme a lace bolero with capped sleeves like in your picture tucked into a strapless dress, and it looked like it was all the same dress. So if you can't find the perfect one, but found a strapless dress you otherwise liked you might be able to add a bolero?

I couldnt see that model on there but it may be worth keep checking and also to post your 'wanted' dress on the site x

Hey I have a couple of suggestions. I saw a bride's dress a while ago with lovely short lace sleeves... when i read further into the article i saw that the dress was vintage and had long sleeves but she got them altered. Maybe you could do the same?

The other suggestion is if youre anywhere near liverpool i know of a large bridal place where all dresses are under £300
