Wedding dress Chaos!!!

Hi All, Ive been looking at wedding dresses recently and had bridal shop appointments. Realised pretty quickly that the over the top dresses are just not me and also that they won’t be available in time as I’m getting married in July.

Maybe I have been silly for leaving it too late but wanted to lose as much weight before trying dresses. Would anyone have any recommendations of where I could get a wedding dress online or on the high street that is satin, has angel sleeves and very simple?
Kind regards,Sophie (a stressed out bride)

You could try second-hand and also sale samples as they will be available to take on the day - might be worth contacting a few boutiques to see if they have anything like that.
Or if you want something very simple, you could see if a local dressmaker can make you one from scratch.
Alternatively Alie Street have some nice simple dresses. Some of them are in satin and you could perhaps get them altered to have the sleeves that you like?

Try Needle & Thread. You can order several dresses to try on at home for 5 days without paying anything up front. You only pay for what you keep.
