This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!

This is the third Budget Bridal post so far! I must say I am really enjoying these posts. This dress is from Simply Be and has a lovely flower embroidery with pleated chiffon skirt. The dress is a little shorter than I am usually comfortable with and I am 5'3'' I am wearing a size 28 and really could do with a larger size if it was available.

There is a side zip and under skirt which is a little shorter than the chiffon so you get the sexy sheer bit at the bottom of the skirt. I love the cap sleeve and round neck. This is a really pretty dress and would look great for any Bride or just attending a wedding.

I have to say I have never been a fan of the Joe Browns range. It was always a little to hippy for me but a few weeks ago I got a little booklet through the door showing the new range available and I was blown away by all the beautiful retro pinup style dresses they had! I had skimmed past some of them on the Fashion World website as the pictures were too small and grainy to see the beauty of the prints. Viewing the high quality and detailed photos opened my eyes to the beauty that is Joe Browns! It is safe to say I am now a firm fan of this range thanks to this dress!

Fashion World were kind enough to send me the Colourful Coral 50's Dress to review since I am new to the range. I am in love with this dress! It is a thick cotton shirt material with stretch. I have a couple of dresses made with this material already and they are two of my favourite dresses in my wardrobe.

I ordered the 26 not knowing how it would fit and it is actually perfect for me. The length is great and the cap sleeve detail is very pretty. The neckline is great for my bust and I can see me wearing this dress a lot this summer. The flower print is beautiful and my Mr was very complimentary about this dress too. It would be perfect for any summer event and could easily be wintered up with a nice thick pretty cardi.

This past weekend my hubby booked a friend and myself into a Spa for the night. I thought it would be the perfect chance to show off this dress! We went for cake and coffee before checking in and the weather was lovely. I felt like a Summer Stunner in this dress! If you are like me and have not tried Joe Brown before then I can safely say that you will not be disappointed in any purchase.
