RobsNo1Fan   10 #3 Posted June 6, 2006 Depends on how far u want to travel but there is a Berketex factory shop in Grantham - Lincs that does cheap dresses. I got my bridesmaid dresses from there and they were only about £70.00 each. had to get cheaper dresses for them cos mine cost a small fortune!!!!

Ginger_Kitty   10 #4 Posted June 6, 2006 If you're not necessarily looking for a white dress then look at bridesmaid dresses, they are cheaper, still wedding-y and you can get them from most wedding dress shops. I also looked in Monsoon, they have some gorgeous dresses!!!  EDIT: forgot to mention, you can always try the traditional shops, go in, tell them your budget and ask to see what they have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GoGo_dancer   10 #6 Posted June 6, 2006 Would you consider wearing a second hand dress? You could get a great condition designer dress for a fraction of the original price. I know this because I keep trying to sell mine! I paid £800 for it and I'm selling it for less than £200. It was worn for a total of 13 hours and has been dry cleaned and looks like new. If your a size 14-16, send me a PM! (Cheeky I know! )  http://www.confetti.co.uk has a great online 'for sale' forum where brides advertise their dresses and I think there's also one on http://www.hitched.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Andrew B   10 #8 Posted June 6, 2006 hi anyone know best place to look for a not so expensive dress:)   It depends on if you are wanting new or secondhand.  My wife has a Size 12 dress that is a coture (sp?) dress by Diane's of sheffield.  It is made of double silk and the material alone cost us £900. Total cost including veil was £1700. we dont want anywhere near that amount.   I have a pic available if you are interested. Just PM me.

Plain Talker   11 #10 Posted June 6, 2006 If you aren't fussy that the dress has been pre-owned, why not try Oxfam (particularlty at Broomhill) they often have a nice selection of pre-owned wedding dresses.  You will also have the nice, warm, fluffy feeling, that you've helped put money into a worthy charity's coffers.  PT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
