where to get a dress for renewal of vows

MMF007

Any suggestions for where I could look for a dress for the ceremony. It will be in a hot climate, I am in my 50's, I want longer dress, in cool fabric (!), probably in a pale green but open to most things except orange (clashes with my rosie complaxion :rotfl:).
Don't want to spend lots so will be 'off the peg'.
I had a quick look at John Lewis, Debenhams and a few other places but nothing I fancied.

Any sensible suggestions appreciated!

Try Monsoon they often have lovely silk dresses which would be great in a hot climate.

Ditto Nicole Farhi. More expensive but will be in the sales and usually also have coordinating items too such as light jackets and silk knitwear.

Not green, but elegant. Comes in a purple colour too http://www.jacques-vert.co.uk/jacques-vert/lace-bodice-and-chiffon-dress/010040524.html?cgid=jv_clothing_accessories_dresses&dwvar_010040524_color=0357


They do a below the knee version too in the sale in a lighter colour (there was a black or navy too) http://www.jacques-vert.co.uk/jacques-vert/lace-bodice-chiffon-dress/010042868.html?dwvar_010042868_color=0311

If it were me, I'd be browsing ebay too. Choose 'new', and look for say 'green dress elegant long'. Thousands come up. Choose your size, and maybe the length, and you'll probably still have loads to browse through. Choose 'UK' too as the sizes should be more reliable.

What about coast

Don't forget to look at what the lining fabric is - there's little point in choosing a cool linen or silk for the dress if the lining is synthetic.

If you fancied something a bit 'different', id suggest Vivien of Holloway

http://www.vivienofholloway.com/

Their sarong and circle dresses are gorgeous and very flattering, and fairly reasonable prices.

All the best

Thank you All very much! I shall enjoy checking out all the suggestions.
Wise words from LilElvis, yep, I have fallen for that before and it is not nice

I was in town today, window shopping but, blimey, there were dull colours and styles...... the internet is the way to go, I'm afraid.

it may take me a while but I will update as I find possibles.
