Some of our readers have asked us to start looking for dresses that aren’t traditional but still suitable for a wedding and I hope I’ve helped somewhat by finding this dress (we’ll find you more, Helen!). Reem Acra may be out of the price range of many brides but this style is a great starting point for a fun dress that will look great whilst not making you feel like you’re in a meringue. The strapless bodice is embellished with embroidery and a lightly pleated plus layered skirt gives a lovely drape. I particularly want to see this one at a destination wedding.
