Unique/Unusual Dresses (for wedding guest)

kassie

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any website links for dresses (for a wedding guest) for unusual/unique dresses. I don't like the normal run of the mill dresses, the latest dress fashion is very boring in my eyes, they all look the same only different colour! I have a quirky taste for fashion. Not full on hippy or anything just something that's "outside the box". I like the style of the retro/vintage dresses but also love the idea of a 3/4 dress or skirt and top. Blacks are a no no except in cases where its very unique, so i like colour and body con dresses are out! any links or tips welcome

a link to show something along the lines i like

That dress is very nice, the colours are definitely unique but the style is very run of the mill wedding guest to me!

Where do you usually shop?

I don't see anything unique or unusual in that dress.
Would you have something made?

Asos have a vintage section http://www.asos.com/search/vintage?q=vintage&refine=attribute_900:1465&currentpricerange=0-480&pgesize=36

This site that has some colourful dresses http://www.rixo.co.uk/shop/all/dresses/

You could also try folkster in Temple Bar.
I don't think their dresses are very unique/unusual.
If you want something unique one off you might have to get one made.

Don't want to go down the route of having one made, prefer the ease of buying! Yeah the style of that dress in the link is "run of the mill" but the colours are different I think and that's what makes it for me.

I don't have a preference for shops

Love those colours too OP. Have you looked at Needle and Thread. Not overly colourful but a bit different

I've had my eye on a Roksanda dress for a wedding later this year

Most of their stuff is more casual but maybe have a look at Desigual - again, on the more expensive side but their quality is great and there's often good bargains to be had at sale time!

Some dresses on Slvian Hecht are cool. They are not exactly different but would be less common in Ireland. I have trouble with individual links.

Some skirts from Finery could be interesting:

This one is quite standard but I love the back:
