Finally, finally got sorted for 2 weddings. I posted 2 dresses here that I bought online and they both went back for refunds. I have searched town, Dundrum, Kildare, Malahide, Naas..... and could not find anything I liked or that fitted well.
Hit the jackpot in a tiny vintage shop called Quack and Dirk. Dress and shoes for less than €100. Sorry about the photos, the dress in SO much nicer in reality. Thinking of a gold clutch, bangle and maybe something ivory for my hair. No idea what though

Shoes are much darker in reality

Edit: Just got this bag on ebay for €12

@jos I don't think id have picked any of the individual items but together I think you have a really stunning outfit! Totally individual. Id love to see it all together if you were willing to post a headless pic after your wedding.

Thanks Yellow Hen, I really wanted something a bit different. I had a pain going round the shops looking at the same stuff over and over. The 2nd wedding is a big one and I was afraid that I'd end up in the same dress as someone younger and skinnier than me The dress is so much nicer than the picture shows and she does alterations too. I'll gladly post a pic, cheers !

I got them from nordstrom.com. I'm in the US but I think they deliver internationally?

Just had a look and they are exclusive to Nordstrom for now but the range will be available on converse.com and elsewhere on 28th august

It's no help really but I got some similar dresses in Awear when they were around. New Look have some of the same brands so could be worth a try?

That's a pretty standard skater dress, by the looks of it, so there should be plenty in shops. They've been in fashion for about 2 years now, which is brilliant because they're really comfortable and flattering!

Here's a link to a similar dress in a range of colours, and if you click here, it should bring you to search results for a lot of skater dresses from boohoo.com.

You totally right. The only thing bothers me with some of them is the lenght, being way too short. Point taken on the skater dresses thought,thx.

Oh yeah, a lot of the boohoo ones are really short . I'm 5'5 and I have to be careful about which ones I ordered. I just gave the term skater dress so you can search more easily online for similar dresses - hope it helps somewhat!

purplecow1977

They'd be nice with black tights though, short or not :-)

Got the dress, it was better quality than I was expecting, the only thing I'm not keen on is the straps which are like very cheap bra straps but apart from that I quite like it. I like the length, I'm 5'4 and it hits me just at the knee.

Saw the same dress after I ordered it on www.vavavoom.ie for €23.99 so a bit of a saving in case anyone is interested.

purplecow1977

H&M, €9.99

Find the H&M website a nightmare for trying to find the things you bought in-store!

Bought 2 shirts, 1 white and 1 mint green for €9.99 each (loose fitting, perfect for work)

and a burgundy/maroon 3/4 length sleeved jumper (light material) for €14.99

I ordered from them before...never again! the dress I ordered looked completely different then the photo they had up. I see Scarlet 27 had better luck though

I bought this lovely midi dress from ebay for £15.49 the very same dress selling in stores in Ireland for €29.99. It's lovely on but a bit tight in the bust department...I'll just try stretch it a bit.

Daisy78

Bought this in House of Fraser today... 90 euro but I love it!!

I got these leather heeled Chelsea boots in Dunnes on Friday, they are Savida & €55! They are exactly what I've been looking for, I could not leave them and had to have them! I saw a very similar pair in Topshop earlier in the year & was so annoyed I didn't get them.
They are no where on the Dunnes website for some reason, so I had to take my own photo!

sorry the photo is the wrong way around, I had edited it but its doing its own thing!

Crumpets

Getting jealous looking at all this gorgeous stuff!! I'm moving to Germany next week so am on a tight budget. Only buying practical stuff that I badly need. So.....new runners!!

It's lovely.

It might have needed a safety pin on the wrap part though or maybe it was just the particular bra I had on but I caught myself fixing it a few times thruoghout the night but I was doing crazy dancing!

Very flattering on considering I have a difficult shape to flatter!

Faith

I have that black dress too. I find it quite flattering, but very low-cut. I need a top inside it as I'm quite busty. It's also longer on me than on the model - a bit below my knee, as far as I remember (I'm 5'5).

purplecow1977

Yeah I didn't want to put a top inside as I wore it to a wedding. I think a safety pin might have worked. It looked fine before I headed out but I should have jumped abuot in the mirror for a real test!

It's just about knee length or below (can't even remember now!) and I'm 5'3"

CathyMoran

i got this navy polkadot off the shoulder dress from Dorothy Perkins - I did read the review and did get a bigger size as a result but it is very pretty if a bit low cut.

Popped into Oasis today and picked up both these skirts for a mere €22!
I'm hoping to maybe wear the second one to a christening on sunday but not quite sure what to wear with it

Kerryite

I love that dress purplecow1977! Do you know what it would be like on smaller-chested ladies? I'm a size 10ish, but pear shaped.

Thanks!
