Oh dear Oh no...... have any of you ladies had a similar problem at all, ive decided on the colours i want and ive even found bridesmaid dresses i like well the 2 adults yes, ive also got my girls being bridesmaid aged 13, 10, 2 years. ive even got a rough idea what to put them in, this is my 2nd wedding so want it to be special (don't we all) but ive looked at dresses and can't find anything that jumps out and says BUY ME!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh im also a size 18 and i think that doesn't help as all you lovely slim brides will look stunning and all the models for the dresses are slim...sorry having a whinge... while im on my soap box does it annoy anyone else that the prices are no where to be seen. i don't want to get my hopes up on a stunning dress that is out of my price range.....
suggestions anyone..

have you actually tried any dresses on, my opinion changed as soon as i tried them on, and ended up choosing something completely different from what i had imagined, and its just perfect x
I have know my soulmate for 27 years and on the 6th August
I married him and became Mrs Garnham.
It was most definitely the happiest day of my life.
I love married life !!!!

Like you babe its my 2nd wedding, and i'm big chessted and a size 16 :-( but ive been looking on line as some of the girls here have suggested and ive found THE one. Its from china but theres a few on here that are really pleased with theirs from the same place so i thought why not? Its about a 3rd of what i was willing to pay as well so even better :-) Its on my profile if you would like to look? Oh and there made to measure. Ill go to your wall now and pit a few links to some sites on......theres loads of really nice ones.

I agree with Shellay on that point... some of the dresses I looked at I thought were revolting until the sales lady asked me to try it on and WHAT a difference!
Im also a size 18 hun and im having my dress made! It took me 6 months to decide and I finally ordered it 2 weeks ago! I just hope it turns out as good as it looks as im using one of the Chinese dressmakers! Its very similar to a dress I have tried on which was £900 and im having it made for £325 which includes a 3 tiered hoop, P&P and import taxes!
Im a big 16 and thought nothing would look nice on my big frumpy frame but i was so shocked when i found my dress-its sooooooooo not what i would have chosen as i never thought it would suit my boby shape (pics on profile) i will say i payed ALOT for my dress but im pretty sure if you found a style you liked you could get it made for so much cheaper x
p.s im getting married 3rd june 2011 and have bought mine :)

i'm a size 18 with big busoms also and i dreaded looking for a dress let alone trying them on,well ann the wonderful shop owner i found put me at ease and had a selection of dresses i could actually try on and once on they were totally different to what i expected and they looked great with a curvy body in them.luckily in the shop i was in her dresses at the top end were £700 and mine was £640 but ann had end of lines etc starting at £60 even the accessiries were a lot cheaper than any other bridal shop i had been in before. i would start to try on dresses now so you can find what you like and remember they can take up to 6 moths to arrive once ordered.xx

Pebbles go try dresses on i think a lot of us change our minds even if we have a particular style in mind, the look so different on then on pictures or even hanging on the rail, it's never too early as i'm not getting married til aug 2012 and ive already chose my dress and put the deposit on it, u'll look totally fab on ur day, if u dont see any at the moment then i belive the new stocks go into shops around sept, happy hunting and dressing up xx
CommentAuthorSuzi
