I'm Currently Feeling:  | Help finding a wedding dress!
As some of you probably know Im planning my wedding at the moment  Very exciting. We're looking at doing it within the next 6-12 months and we've had to set a teeny tiny budget. Unfortunately, my dress budget is £60.
I don't want a full on wedding dress, I would like a cream/white knee length (maybe a bit shorter) strapless dress with some beading or something on it. A bit like this... 
Unfortunately, it's from Tammy girl and only goes up to age 16.
Has anyone seen or got anything similar within the price range? I know it's a bit of a strange request but thought someone must have some ideas!
Thank you in advance

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Have you had a look on E-bay??
My best friend got married last year & got her wedding dress from E-bay. It was stunning!!
Or perhaps contact your local college which has a design & fashion course. They often have students who need to get practice & can design & make clothes really cheap. Don't worry about it coming out bad as all students are supervised by a course tutor so nothing goes wrong!! I tend to use my local college for hair & beauty treatments on the cheap
I love the design you've gone for by the way!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Thank you
I had thought of ebay but I didn't really know what to type :s lol
As for the design, its not a big wedding, just close family, and I didn't want a typical dress.. so thats it Just a shame I don't have the body of a 16 yr old anymore

I'm Currently Feeling: | Lol I cant even remember what it was like to have a 16year olds body
Defo check out your local colleges. You'd probably get something made up alot cheaper than something second hand on E-bay!!

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Hiya Linzi!
More than happy to help you, I am a wizz with bargins. Have you hit your local TK Maxx as it's prom season?? Ebay can be fantastic for a budget wedding, but it's just having the time to find the right dress.
Is £60 your absolute maximum, or is this a ballpark figure you're working with? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Its a ballpark.. ti depends on how much OH and Seth can get suits for. Im cutting loads of money off by getting my bro to do the photos, Im making the cake and favours too.
I could probably go to £100. Maybe. But I want a spray tan, hair and nails done too lol.
Ill have to pop in to TK Maxx I never thought of there, thank you
