I got married last year and couldn't tell you want anyone was wearing other than a wierd aquantance that wore white! :eek:

The dress in the eBay photo looks much better but it's got a petticoat under it which is probably why it puffs out more.

There's always got to be that one person! Luckily white doesn't suit me at all, so it won't be me this time :A

Mines got a built in petticoat, maybe it's because it's a second hand one it's lost it !!!!!! a bit

I was pointed to these people not massively expensive and the dresses look smart for a wedding

Penny-Pincher!!

What about looking in charity shops or borrowing wowing an outfit?

Oh wow, there's some lovely dresses on there!


OP, when I went to my friend's wedding I wore a big butterfly on my head like a fascinator, it just clipped to my hair. There were loads on Ebay, all colours. Another friend was looking for a bluebird as head wear, Ebay had some of those too.

There is a website called Lindybop which does some fantastic vintage style dresses for a very good price. Most are around £30 and they have a good sale range at the moment. Some gorgeous dresses, very unique and you can dress them up as little or as much as you want.

Take a look - I think some of them would be perfect for a wedding, while remaining comfortable and stylish.

Edit - Cripes, gettingtheresometime got there before me I can vouch for the retailer though!

Apologies for the quotes, I have no idea how to do multi quotes

"I was pointed to these people not massively expensive and the dresses look smart for a wedding"

I was just looking at some of those dresses on ebay. I love the style, just got to be so careful as ones that fit me in the chest can be way too big on the waist The joys of an hourglass figure in modern times!


"What about looking in charity shops or borrowing wowing an outfit?"

The dress I'm asking about is a charity shop one £4.99 :T. I always keep my eye out when I go in them just incase. As sad as it may sound I don't actually have that many friends, and none that I'm close enough to borrow clothes from (well ones that would wear dresses anyway)


"OP, when I went to my friend's wedding I wore a big butterfly on my head like a fascinator, it just clipped to my hair. There were loads on Ebay, all colours. Another friend was looking for a bluebird as head wear, Ebay had some of those too."

I've been looking on ebay, there's so many pretty ones to choose from. I usually just clip my hair, so it would kill two birds with one stone.

Loving that site...Do you think anyone would notice if I changed several times during the day?

Thanks gettingtheresometime and KatieDee...Not sure my bank balance may agree

Like I've already said I love the whole rockabilly etc style, but I've not got the confidence to really wear it or anywhere to really wear it lol!
