I don't want to spend a lot on my wedding dress as it's only for one day and the most important thing for me is marrying my fiance not what I'm wearing - but I'm always worried if I buy a cheap dress online that it'll be bad quality. I've looked around and dresses seem to be £200+ at the least. Does anyone know where to buy a cheaper dress? It doesn't have to necessarily be a wedding dress but I'd like a full length white/ivory dress. Only just started properly planning so VERY new to this. Would be great to get some advice from those already married or brides-to-be! Thank you so much in advance!

I know of one but don't know about the quality - some people have left them bad reviews while other have left them good reviews but is up to you whether or not you want to chance it.

Have you tried looking at the sale items in bridal shops? You could maybe look at prom dresses in shops like debs and fraiser.
CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
Yeah they are another two to look out like HB said. I got some great wedding shoes from them the other day for bargain prices. One pair was £13.30 instead of £45!

CommentAuthorHappyBunny
Also depending on your area I no the dress shop in my town have a lovely dress in the window for 99 pound but you would need to unrestrict your profile so people can post to you xx
CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
That's what I am going to do ;) There should be an option on your profile to make it 'public'. There should be three options - you only; friends only or public I think.

If you go to your profile and go on 'My details'; right at the bottom you have a drop down menu with the three options. I just checked ;)

CommentAuthorAna40
Have you tried t* max. I've heard some second hand shops also have great bargains. X
CommentAuthorRachelP41
I'm a bit worried about using eBay as my fiance bought a coat from there and the quality was terrible :( but will have a look on the big tree of gum never thought to look for a dress on there. The only second hand shops we have around my area never have any wedding related items but I'm keeping my eyes peeled! x
CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
Look at the feed back in particular on the bay of e - if the seller has 98% or above positive then it is likely that if you buy a dress of them that it will be ok. Tree of Gum also have some lovely ones though I don't know where you live so may be different for you :)

Have a look at some white bridesmaid dresses. I've seen loads that look like wedding dresses but because they're not officially a wedding dress, they're a lot cheaper :)

Looking on all three now, thank you :)
CommentAuthorRachelP41
I never thought of that! I was looking at prom dresses but they seem to be pretty expensive themselves thanks!
CommentAuthorsarah
I would look into sales/outlets for the high street stores that do bridal lines like M0ns00n, D3benhams, BH$, etc. TK M@x also do wedding dresses on there website. I've seen £1,000 dresses for under £100 on there before. Some great bargains can be had at bridal shop sample sales especially if you're willing to haggle.
CommentAuthorAna40
There's pr*loved as well. X
CommentAuthorHappyBunny
Ive posted on your wall hun its worth a look I looked at bh s last night and there are some stunning ones xx
CommentAuthorRachelP41
Oooo! Thank you! Never thought to look in any of these shops but it seems obvious now ha ha I'm always happy for a good haggle :P x
CommentAuthorCheekyTerri
Also have a look round the weddings fairs and when the bridal shops have sales. They often sell off the samples from the stores very cheap at the fairs etc.

Monsoon have a beautiful selection at the moment- so luxurious in real life- pictures online just don't capture it! Xx

CommentAuthorMrsDay2Be
one of the girls at work suggested I look on charity shop websites - Had a quick peek and there are some nice ones - some not so, but if you get something quite plain you could jazz it up.
When I was little I always used to want my mum to make my wedding dress, I used to love looking at the pattern books in the fabric shops!

CommentAuthorRachelLynda
Ah Thank you girls. Live in Taunton in Somerset. Could you tell me the websites? Every one I've been too around here don't seem to do wedding dresses :/ Yeah I thought about making my own dress but with a full time job I just don't have the time anymore! :( xx

CommentAuthorLucyS91
yeah,i'm agree with you, so i ordered a "cheap" dress from internet. it's a lace, white, floor length dress. the website provide custom made service, the dress is tailored according to my own measurement and it fits me well. it's not a luxury dress but it is really worth the price.
CommentAuthorMrsTaylor
I got mine from Very. £250 but looked lovely. Was really pleased with the quality :)

CommentAuthorAmyS751
I'd be carefull buying the dress online. Now it's the time of sales. Go and look for a cheaper dress on sale. Will be safer than buying online ;)
CommentAuthorHappyBunny
a lot of bridal stores are having sales at the minute hun, one local to me has beautiful designer dresses at half price. xx
