Short Wedding Dress Recs?? Something similar to...

greypixymouse

Hello...

I'm new to the Knot and excited to join the online community. My fiance and I got engaged just over a year ago and our wedding is coming up in december...we're planning an extremely small (only 10-15 people) casual ceremony and I'm looking for a killer dress that is cute, stylish and elegant but that I can wear again....

I'm having a hard time finding the exact style I would like, something along the lines of this dress from the movie "In Time" but in white/champagne/ivory??? Does anyone know of a designer or dress that has a look similar to this one? It doesn't have to be a "wedding" gown, it can be any white dress (couture designer or jcrew or anything) that looks like this one? I just want the same basic ideas...thick straps, square neckline, fitted bodice and slightly poofed a-line skirt that ends above the knee.

 Your help is much appreicated! Thank you so much in advance

<div>Thank you for the reply! I really like the silhouette of this dress, but I'm trying to stay away from lace (don't get me wrong, I love love love lace but sadly its never looked very flattering on me). But thank you very much, I had no idea that loft had wedding dresses so I'm going to go check them out now!</div>

What about something like this?   http://www.alfredangelo.com/collections/styles/7178  It comes in lots of different colors...

You should really check out Dolly Couture. http://www.dollycouture.com/black-label.html

They have great short vintage style dresses and are willing to add/subtract what you want from them. I was seriously considering one for my wedding but the venue changed and a short dress wouldn't work as well.

divinemsbee, those dresses are beautiful!!

I found this dress: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31I7JswGQqL._SX342_.jpg

 if I added some crinoline "fluff" underneath the skirt to add a little volume, would this be appropriate for a casual wedding?

You could add straps to this:

It doesn't look like it comes in white online, but the store could tell you more.
