Seeking: THIS DRESS for under $1200


Dear ESB,

Our wedding is not until next May, so I think that I have a bit of time... or do I? After having been to a number of dress shops here in London, I have realised I am looking for something

1) short
2) vintage-inspired (although not original vintage)
3) soft and flow-y but with a bit of structure

I have yet to find anything that I loved in-store.

I *THINK* I found the perfect dress (thank you Pinterest, you're not all meringues after all) - it's from J. Mendel's S/S '13 collection. 

The only trouble is that it's likely to be very far out of my price range (which is around the $1,200 mark). 

Can you recommend anything similar that is a slightly more affordable?

(Also, I will be in NYC to go dress shopping in a couple of months, if there are any shops there you recommend). 

Thanks,
Looking out in London

Has anyone seen this dress?? You guys are much better at this game than I am.

Worth a visit while you're in NYC: Lovely (be sure to make an appointment), Barney's Coop, Bloomingdale's (59th/Lex), which has a big dress floor, and maybe Saks Fifth Avenue.
