Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 2,975 Send Message	Maddie This may sound a bit tacky but......... I went into TK-Max yesterday and they had some there that thought oohhhhh, wish I was getting married again! don't know cost, but shouldn't be too expensive. Very simple but stylish Kim

	Thats only cost my youngest is only a month old and too young to complain :) Theresa I've thought about it but cant sew for toffee - I saw a really nice one that was going for a song - under £50.00 in Debs cos the outside lace was torn. I lifted it up and thought ok I could unpick this to here - sew a ribbon here and was making all kinds of mental plans and then realised it would sit with the perfect material I bought for curtains 6 years ago ..........

	Kim thats not a bad idea at all - I saw some there last summer- I looked this week and none about - they were between £90.00 and £120.00 last summer but we put the wedding off - I have been doing this for years cos I dont fancy organising it all. But we have now set a month - outlaws are not getting any younger and we have decided we are going to do it this year without putting it off.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 12,556 Send Message	I got my wedding dress from Monsoon. I still like it 11 years on and am pleased with my choice. Cost me under £100. I had a Las Vegas wedding so a big traditional dress wasn't practical (and not really me anyhow). Hope you find the one for you soon hon xx

	See I would love a dress with matching coat - you gals are all the pinnicle of fashion - shame the shops are not! Re Driving I failed first time just before Christmas I was gutted - was my new years resolution in 2006 to be driving in 2007. Was a minor fail but since then my confidence has gone and driving has got worse! Am thinking od postponing next weeks test.
