    light in the box, its a US website, but the dresses are from China. My friend got hers from there and it looked amazing (custom measurements), so I took a chance and ordered mine (£100 + approx £60 shipping/customs) in a custom size and I love mine! Takes about a month from order to get it made and delivered.

    You might be sorted by now but I was reminiscing and saw your post. My daughter got married 3 weeks'ago and planned the entire thing in 10 weeks. We were panicked also about the dress but eventually because of the shortage of time we went for an off the peg factory outlet called wed2b Website:- http://weddingdress-factoryoutlet.co.uk/locations/. They have Uk wide shops ( including in the North) but a word of warning, don't go at the weekend, it is way too busy. We paid £450 and £100 for alterations at a dry cleaners next door who did alterations for them. The dress was gorgeous and it was largely due to the skill of the dry cleaners, a guy who was so used to the styles of dresses and fabric that it was fitted beautifully. This shop does short white ones too which were pretty and if I remember correctly they may have been around the £250 mark. Best of luck.

    I got married on a beach and wore a two birds dress for my wedding dress. It's actually a bridesmaid's dress but I bought it in ivory. The great thing about it is that it can be worn in lots of different ways so pretty much suits everyone.

    I dont know if they do anything wedding enough but bravissimo stores sell clothes called pepperberry that are designed for big boobs. You take the clothes size of the rest of your body and then add stages for your boobs, curvy for one size bigger, extra curvy for 2 sizes and super curvy for 3 sizes. I've only ever bought summer dresses and shirts for work from them but the clothing is really well made.
