New on here, affordable wedding dress?

fashionistabride, 3 October, 2011 at 16:02 Posted on Planning 0 27

Hi everyone

Never been on a forum before, but I am just engaged and very excited! I am on a hunt for a dress and really want a short one,

I love my fashion and am a complete fashion addict! So I want a stylish one but only have £300 to spend tops.

Me and my other half are on a crazy low budget, he is a struggling artist and I am a struggling sculptor but am still hoping to get the dress of my dreams

and am prepared to by online, if anyone has any suggestions they will be gratefully received. Look forward to chatting

    Look out for sample dresses in boutiques - sign up to mailing lists to find out when they have their sales. I found a perfect dress for £250 and my seamstress in going to remodel a few bits for me. I didn't know what the price was - Itried the dress on with about 10 other but kept going back to it. when I asked how much it was I couldn't believe it as we are also on a budget. You don't need to spend the earth to feel a million dollars! Happy dress shopping x

    There's also the website outlet which sells of designer dresses - has quite a few wedding dresses (or ones that could be) for under £300. Alternatively look for sample sales. I picked up my wedding dress for £99 in one!

    I got mine for £300 in a sample sale for £2000. I've had to pay £100 to get it dry cleaned as it was filthy and I'll have to pay for alterations.

    But it might be worth thinking about if you have a while before the big day.

    If you aren't oppose to secondhand, try ebay and preloved.

    Thanks FashionistaBride- meant to say it was £1k+ not £1- that would be a bargain!!

    When you post a reply click on the little icon thats like a filmstrip. It gives you a browse option and you can then just upload from your computer.
