Let’s Find This Reader a Wedding Dress!

Agreed- which dress did she choose???

I so hope we get an update on what she chose eventually! I still think about this every week-ish and wonder.

I just saw this gorgeous drapey, wrap dress that comes in cream AND blush that would be perfect for a city hall wedding. I’m sure Amy has found her dress, but I wanted to include it in case any future brides come back to find something for themselves:

I might be late but maybe someone will find my comment and their dress – I’m from Vermont and a local artist sews and hand embroiders the most gorgeous dresses – I wish I could rewind time to wear one for my wedding!

Not sure if she’s made her pick, but these two popped up in my IG feed, and I immediately thought of this post!

ModCloth! I got mine there for a simple SF city hall elopement. It was knee length and short sleeves and lace. It felt very retro and dressy but not overly done. Price wise very affordable.

I just have to say, I’ve been looking for a dress for my elopement for months, and I found it through this thread! Thank you all!

This is the SWEETEST collaboration! Love seeing all these ideas. It’s a hoot how fast my ads are changing, too!

I’m not sure if this one qualifies because they’re sleeves/vs shoulder coverings, but I’m in love with this little Sarah Seven number. https://www.sarahseven.com/georgie

Congratulations, Amy! One way to find your dream dress might be to think about what you like in an everyday dress, and then to find an extra-special version of that idea. (For example, I love linen and cotton fit-and-flare dresses for everyday wear, and my party dresses are mostly fit-and-flare dresses made of silk or with pretty embroidery!) My go-to is actually Etsy. I love Ms. Pomeranz and Hearts & Found, and have a few vintage dresses from different sellers, too. My other favorites are Kate Spade and Red Valentino, which I buy secondhand. (I usually save searches on The Real Real if I’m looking for something specific.)

Bo & Luca’s sample sale has a few gems in there. Lot of casual floor length numbers, and even a jumpsuit!

I don’t know why but I continue to save wedding dresses to my Pinterest White board. I wore a lovely ivory dress 22 years ago but these are my favorites if I was getting married to my sweet husband tomorrow.

Go gold! I wore this knee-length, swingy, cap-sleeved gold sequined dress from Rent the Runway for my reception. I loved it much more than my traditional long white dress for the ceremony and it felt very me!

I had very similar criteria and it was a challenge! But I eventually got my dress last year from net-a-porter, it’s by equipment https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nMux9niP1/?igshid=he39n5sxhjv0

I vote crochet. Romantic and breezy.

I am sure Amy will find a great dress for her wedding! Can’t wait to see her final selection.:-) congrats!

I got my perfect knee length vintage style dress from Pinup Girl Clothing for about $135 four years ago. I’m still debating dyeing it so I can keep wearing it! Gorgeous quality satin and all it needed was a tiny bit of tailoring from a local lady.

Hi Amy, just wanted to chime in here with my two cents’ piece — which you should feel free to ignore if it doesn’t speak to you — that you might want to remain open to “fancier” wedding dress options. Not necessarily full-on pouffy Disney princess ballgowns, just more elaborate ones with more beading, lace, embellishments, etc. Simply because I’ve discovered many many times with the fickle Fashion Gods that if you’re fixated on One Type Of Dress, it suddenly becomes harder to find than an affordable place in Manhattan that isn’t a shoe box, but you WILL come across dozens of perfectly gorgeous examples of the type of dress you thought you didn’t want! If you’re looking for a midi length dress, you might for example find gorgeous full-length options. If you wanted something with sleeves, you’ll probably find plenty of sleeveless or bustier style options, that you might still be able to work with with a pretty shawl, or bolero jacket, or cardigan. And if you want something simple yet fancier than something you’d wear to the office, more often than not you’ll either find stunning full on black tie options, or too-casual summery cotton dresses! I understand the desire for a more understated dress that you can fancy up with elaborate accessories like necklaces, earrings or brooches, but unless you already have said accessories in hand, I’ve found that often that means you’re then stuck with another search for the right accessories! Sometimes if you keep an open mind and roll with the punches, you might find something totally unexpected within your budget that works like a dream for you. At least that’s been my experience as a shopaholic!

I’m not recommending any more dresses here because the other commenters have done such a stellar job of finding the MOST fabulous frocks, but I do want to say I hope you’ll end up with something stunning and the wedding (and marriage!!) goes perfectly as well. We’re all rooting for you! ♥️ And congrats again!!!

I would love to get mask recommendations! Now that we’re six months in, it’s time to lean into the fashion side of safety.

I vote for the fit and flare — always flattering, and the sleeves aren’t loose, which will allow you to wear a cardigan or light jacket and not have the think twice about wrinkling the sleeves, etc…bonus: the dress can be dyed for a different social event :)
