Speak to the amazing Tobi Hannah. She specialises in the 50s, 60s vibe.

Any of these any good? Sleeves can easily be shortened.

CC, that second one would be perfect if it wasn't for that silver bit at the bottom! I suspect if I had that removed altogether it'd be too short.

Bex, I have looked at Tobi Hannah but cos they are 'wedding' dresses they are all just too fancy for me.

But thankyou both, the search continues!

If your budget is flexible why not try a dress maker?

Argh! ID I was shopping the other day and saw a gorgeous lacey one ... let me rack my brains for a moment ...

Any of these? Not sure if I've understood what you're looking for.

Some of those might work - thankyou! For some bizarre reason Monsoon is blocked here at work so I shall have a closer look at them at home this evening. In the meantime, any other suggestions gratefully received

Ta daaa! https://uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/5532944610 Not so sure about the 60's shift style now I see it on the model but I thought it looked it on the hanger.

Try House of Mooshki - if they haven't got a dress in the style you want then Olivia their designer can sketch a bespoke design for you and then they'll make it. They're making my wedding dress and i cant recommend them highly enough

If you know anyone with a monsoon reward card they have a promotion tomorrow - 20% off purchases over £80.

I'd also contact Melanie James Bridal Boutique in Chorlton, she makes bespoke wedding dresses and her prices reflect the amount of work that goes in to a dress so I imagine a simple shift dress wouldn't break the bank. See if it's something she'd be prepared to do, the woman is a genius and her work is stunning.

This one?

My friend owns a shop specialising in vintage/retro stock - http://www.queenofthreads.co.uk/ - if you let her know what sort of thing you are looking for, she might be able to help.

I'll be honest i stole these suggestions from a friend who was looking for 'a 60's inspired dress, size 18!' so it couldn't be a more perfect muse.

don't know if they'll be your taste chicken, but worth a try eh?

hope it helps some and if not, best of luck lovely! ^_^ xxx

Try Kitty and Dulcie they do vintage style 50/60's wedding dresses at really reasonable prices.

Thankyou all! A few more suggestions that are blocked at work (it's a completely unpredictable system), so I shall be having a good old look through at work this evening, Miss Winter, I have an account with Simply Be and hadn't even noticed that dress...weird

There are some lovely, and unusual, short dresses here: https://jaymanventures.com/collections/dresses

Their large is only apparently a 14, so too small. A shame though, some of those are very pretty

I think I'm gonna go to Monsoon and see if they have a couple of those celticcurl posted in stock. I can't believe I hadn't seen them before - the fact their site is blocked here had obviously just stopped me looking altogether! Makes no sense That one from Simply Be might also be a contender, but the fact it has an elasticated waist may be an issue - I'm quite tall and I find that they tend to sit too high on me and make me look pregnant. But I've pinned it! Thankyou all again for your ideas, it's been so helpful.

Have you tried etsy? https://www.etsy.com/uk/search/?q=60s%20style%20wedding%20dress%20white&order=most_relevant you have to scroll through but I usually find what I'm looking for x

Have you tried mod cloth?

I have looked on Etsy and found quite a good contender, although I have concerns about the creasiness (not a word) of the organic cotton fabric she uses. But again, I've pinned it. Modcloth only seem to have skater/50s styles, many of which I love generally, but not what I'm looking for on this occasion. But at least i have a few in the running now

A collague of mine is a real mod chick and got married in a white mini shift dress .. I'm going to attempt to email you a pic (if I can, i'm on my phone) and if you like it I'll ask her where she got it from ..

Not sure this will be right, as it's got black in it, but still quite pretty, anyway, I just stumbled across it.
