My wedding is in Sept 2014 and I'm not a typical bride and have been dreading wedding dress shopping although my bridesmaid has dragged me out a few times!!!
I thought I'd found one I was happy with (similar to Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress!), but I tried another one on this weekend that I also liked a lot but it is very different. Unfortunately I've been seriously ill recently as I suffered a spontaneous brain haemorrhage just over 4 weeks ago and am still incredibly weak and struggling to think much as I'm so tired, so I'm feeling a bit undecisive. I had set myself a deadline of sortng the dress by the end of this year, but I don't think that's feasible now due to my health. I would like to look at a few other dresses, but am currently really struggling with having the physical energy to go and try anything on in shops! So I was hoping the hitchers could help me do some online browsing!
So the 2nd dress that I now like is a Stephanie Allin Margot dress with an added shrug and belt. It's nothing like I thought I'd like, but I did think it looked lovely. However, one of my requirements is the dress must be super comfortable so that I can just forget I'm wearing it and enjoy my big day. For me, the Margot dress was a little uncomfortable as the dress is actually strapless (the lace you can see is a shrug) so it is more fitted around the bust than I'd like (but obviously it needs to be if it's strapless). It's also more expensive than I'd like to spend, especially as due to my ill-health my employment over the next year is somewhat uncertain.
So hitchers, can you help me find something similar that is more comfortable? My requirements are:
Lace on top
Not Strapless (and not too fitted on the bust!)
Empire line that is floaty and not fitted on the hips
Doesn't have a massive train
Isn't ridiculously expensive!
Here's a picture of the Stephanie Allin Margot dress:
Can anyone help me find something similar to the above that isn't actually strapless and is more comfortable?
