What worries me about getting a dress from places like Monsoon or Coast is that someone else might be wearing the same one.

I'm to be a family-of-bride guest at a posh wedding in Edinburgh next year, and I'm getting a bit worried about that...if I were to be MoG I think I would be going either made-for-me or exclusive italian or french bought abroad Then again, I can't see it happening just yet :rotfl:

You could get one off of Amazon, or a similar site.

-Moonar, Black Butterfly, and My Evening Dress are my personal favourites, Black Butterfly in particular is good quality with a very nice selection at a very nice price.

My mum has bought a Black Butterfly dress (from their ebay shop) for my wedding and she looks fab in it. I can't remember which exact one she bought but it was silver/grey and halter neck.

My daughter is getting married in September, I've been trawling ebay, I decided on a make i trust, in my case Country Casuals; searched auctions only, and checked new listed stuff everyday until i found a dress i liked, they tend to go pretty cheap, i paid £13 delivered for a grey and pink silk mix summer dress. i then repeated strategy for dark grey jacket, satin shoes and handbag, so far the outfit has cost £30 .......... i'm now onto the fascinator, then i'm done. After the wedding hopefully i can sell it as an outfit and maybe even make a profit :P

My top tip is to give yourself enough time, it's a slow job waiting for the right things to come up for auction,

My daughter got married Saturday and my dress and jacket cost £70 from Roman Originals, my hat from Labels £30 and shoes and bag from Bhs with 20% off in the sale. I had so many compliments and was glad I didn't spend over £1000 on the condici outfit I tried on. It was lovely but I just didn't feel comfortable or me in it. I would have quite happily paid the money but it would have to be perfect in every way to justify spending that sort of money.

My mum wore a pink silk dress and matching jacket she bought off ebay something italian sounding might have been condici as mentioned above lol I think it was £69.99. She took an inch or two off the length so it hit her knee as she is short. It was from a business seller i will see if she still knows which one it was. In the evening she switched to a more lightweight chiffon jacket/bolero but longer type thing for primark £8! what have i pressed to get italic font????

Currently trawling the net for ideas for mum's outfit - she prefers high necks and longer sleeves to stop her decolette and elbows showing. I stopped a lady in the street last week to ask her where she got her top from! (M&S)

For my sister's wedding, I found mum some white trousers, and a red/orange/white very slightly floaty top from different stores, then a red hat from John Lewis (about £30), red shoes & bag from Brantano were pretty cheap. For another event I had a long dress from Ann Harvey, and a jacket that matched beautifully from M&S. Both my mum and aunt are 60+, and tend to go for trousers & classical style tops, teamed with matching hats/shoes/bags - they both look very swish
