Where can I buy...?

Subject: Where can I buy...? Tue Mar 08, 2011 3:38 am

My sister is having a BBQ for the Royal Wedding (we are not huge fans or anything, just a good excuse for a knees up!!).

Anyway - she wants to do a wedding theme. So are thinking about ladies wearing wedding/bridesmaid dresses!!!

Anyway - my question is, where can I get a cheap (prefereably tacky, think peach, puffy shoulders etc) bridesmaid dress from??

LMAO I was going to suggest the same thing. eBay? Freecycle or Gumtree? x

Lovely dresses them What a Face

that link you put up Terri is almost identical to the revolting dress my sister made me wear at her weading in 1992. We had a bit of a problem where I was a size 6 and the other bridesmaid was a size 24 and it was the only dress we could get that came in both sizes. I hated it, my sister loved it Puke2

but also

The first link is almost identical to the dress my SIL was forced to wear for my BIL's wedding in 1991. She looks utterly ridiculous and very pissed off in the pictures. She never even wears skirts so a dress like that is probably her worst nightmare.

you definitely need an over the top hair do. flowers woven into it?

OMG Totally Gill......I wonder if I could get some sort of head dress with ribbons that go down the back or something??
