We managed to plunder four shops but it was the first that provided a couple of absolute gems in the form of a wedding dress.

I tried two fantastic dresses and one not so fantastic. They both needed simple alteration and a clean but they were truly fantastic and more than fit for any blushing bride.

One of the dresses was a whole £25 and the second £50 with tags. In 2008 the average price of a wedding dress purchased was £977 which is quite a lot. But I was expecting this price to be more.

I am going to continue looking and finding some quality dresses for all of you ladies.

Keep looking – your gem is out there too. x
