On here for my sis. She's getting married in Byron Bay later this year and is looking for a dress. She wants a non-wedding dress. She's tall, fairly slim (a little pear shaped with smaller boobs), in her late 30's. She doesnt love her legs but might consider something short - but is more likely to like a maxi-dress kind of item! Anyone been looking for similar that they'd be willing to share. She likes designers such as Fluer Wood, Lisa Ho, Zimmerman etc. She's got a budget of up to $800 but would like to spend less. My DD'ss are her bridesmaids - so ideas for them too if you happen to have any! Hit me with your online ideas if you will! This post has been edited by meplainjanebrain: 02/10/2012, 04:12 PM

Which state/city is your sister in, OP? I bought my non-wedding dress off the rack from a lovely little shop in Melbourne, but I don't think they do online. Check out Stellini

She's in Melbourne thx! Non wedding (apparently ) means white is OK but as she says - a dress that you couldd wear and people wouldn't say 'she's wearing a wedding dress'!!! So I suppoose she means not super structured etc. And it doesnthave that 'wedding dress' vibe...

Briony Marsh Very romatic, Fleur Wood esque...No prices listed but from memory they retail at anything from $300 up. They don't do online sales but there are stockists in every state.
