Help needed finding a vintage / art deco / Jenny Packham inspired dress!

Daisy_1985, 5 March, 2012 at 21:58 Posted on Planning 0 3

Hey,

Im from the UK, but living in Australia (and marrying an Aussie!), weve got a wedding over here and then having a reception in the UK - this is all happening at the end of 2012.

I still havent found a dress and really want to get it sorted, but am just struggling! My budget is $1500 so just over 1000 pounds.

I found the Jenny Packham Aspen and am in absolute love with it, unfortunately its about double my budget Smiley sad , dress is here:

Ive been scouring the second hand websites, but no luck as yet. Could anyone recommend a similair dress / designer which is a bit closer to my price range? One of my friends has said I should buy from one of those Chinese dress websites, but Im not convinced the quality, fit etc will be that nice. Ive found some nice Sue Wong dresses, but nothing as amazing as the Aspen!

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

D Smiley smile

    Thanks for that info, Ive been looking through Etsy for a while - particularly White Romances store.

    Theres some on there I like, but nothing I love. Im probably being too fussy, but Im definitely finding the whole dress shopping bit of the wedding very overwhelming!!

    Have you tried it on in any shops? Maybe they'd be willing to do a deal on a sample to make it more reasonable? This dress is a bit similar - you could ask them to add sleeves.

    This crowd is in Ireland but might be able to help.

    Or this one in London

    Have you tried doing a Google image search? That can be really helpful in finding alternatives and designers.
