I like it too.
And I thought that it was the type of dress I wanted for my wedding - however, also being short and curvy, I was quickly disavowed of that idea when I saw that I looked awful in that style of dress.

It also turns out that the dresses which are tight all the way to the hips only suit those women who lack the afore-mentioned hips.

I'm going for extreme corsetry and a nice full (but NOT princessy) skirt for mine.

I can't go for the same choice as you
As his ex wife was wearing something similar for their wedding.

You're probably right about the hips. I need to book one of my few female friends and convince her that a trip to try wedding dresses is fun.

Have you thought about having it made?
Go try on a bunch of dresses to get the style you like (it's fun, go with a couple of friends and an older female relative who'll give sound, calm advice), then talk to a dressmaker. Way cheaper than buying a "proper" wedding dress. And you can ask them about dyeing it afterwards so you can wear it again for other occasions.

I had thought of something like that, yes
I might start asking about references, as I don't know anyone here apart from Mark's family, but they're very posh, and I don't want to trust my dress to someone I don't know at all.
