MINE CREAM LACE COAT OVER DRESS

COST £10

40 YEARS OGO IN MARCH

ITS STILL IN THE WARDROBE

I bought mine in a small shop in Southsea and had to have it taken in to fit better.....Those were the days!

Have you considered 2 pieces that fit together like a dress.? Friend's daughter looked beautiful in her's.....a soft gold colour.

.....I just noticed your post...
Did it have a hood?

Sounds similar to mine,

Gwyn

Well to be honest Id rather something from the good old days lol. I dont want a bustier top style, being a little older (not old) and not first time round I am not going for a Sugar Plum Fairy!! A nice 60's styletwo piece or classic long length dress with a jacket would be nice. Just hard to find.

Dizzi that sounds perfect! and the price even better :)

have you tryed ebay i no when i got married i checked them out new dresses at very good prices

but i got mine of a lady in the next town to ours who specialised in selling from home

ITS SHORT
OLD
IF FITS
YOU CAN BORROW

I'm sure you will get them reduced if you but now sister got hers half price this time of year.

Also BHS does wedding stuff.

DONT FORGET

WAS THE 60's

have you looked on internet for wedding shops in your area.

Yes I have looked there and seen somethings that are quite nice - but my problem is not being able to touch it - if that makes sence.

I didnt realise the feel would be so important but as its the season of the sales I've had a good look everywhere - the best bargains were at BHS - but although a few looked pretty (those that wernt for prima donna;s) the feel of the material was horrible.

The nice feel was at Debenhams - but am not convinced they are worth the prices.

lol Where you a very lanky 12/14 Dizzi?

Dizzi,

I got my dress in a local boutique.

Was in June 2002. Cost me £200 in the end. Its a designer dress, obviously not the currnet year but when I tried it on it fitted like a glove, it was 'the one!'

I must add it was originally priced at £1200, then down to £800 and then £400. I got it for £200 a real bargain!

Loads of girls I know are trying ebay. But you need to be sure of your size because all the designers vary slightly. I was a size 12/14 but my dress was a tight 16. Might be an idea to cruise the shops and try first.

love Theresa

Irosh girl there were prob some nicer ones I missed at debs but in the sales I spect they were all snapped up.

NOPE 5FT6IN

Theresa your a gal after my own heart - been looking at a jasper conran in the sales at debs thats gone down to the £200.00 mark in the 70% off sale - Its nice, the price is right - but something deepdown is saying its not me - its a little too girly.

I have just ordered mine from a local boutique.
I haven't had much time to look around for a dress and because the wedding is in less than 3 months I didn't have time to order one, So have had to buy 'Off the rack'.
I tried a few on and eventually had to decide between 2. 1 i loved but was £750. The other was really nice (But not in the same way) and was £285 in the sales.
After much thought I bought the dearer one, I thought that as im only intending to it once, I should have the dress I want!

Have you looked in M & S?
