Please leave a review of chinadresses here. Already received, and don't mention supplier, rather post it on people's walls if they ask for the info. PLEASE POST THE INFO/LINK ON MY WALL FOR EVERYONE TO SEE :)
Please do not spare on the details, tell us everything! Does the dress feel as "heavy" as when you tried it on in a shop? How is the quality of fabric and stitching? How much does it differ from the original (if replica dress)?
And of course, how much did you pay?
Thanks everyone!

Good thread Annette (I've just read your other one too, slightly bemusing!!) I look forward to seeing any reviews as I am really tempted to buy from china for myself. I have been looking at another website though and i did email a girl in Canada and she replied sending me photos of her dress which she was really pleased with. I'll put the address on my wall if anyone's interested and I don't know if anyone else on here has bought from there either.
On a serious note i had a friend that bought one off bay of e (will i get told off for mentioning that ;o) ) and hers was perfect. She went to a bridal shop got all the measurments and sent them to the dress maker and when it arrived was a perfect fit.

Ali, do you know who on the bay she bought it from? If you do please send me the details on my wall :) Also, do you know if the fabric was the same as in the shop, or did it feel a bit lighter?

Yayyyy! New thread Annette! As i've said, I really think a stickied thread for this topic is needed, afterall, this site is for brides on a budget, and a dress is one of the most expensive things to buy, so china dresses are a good option. I am still considering it, but knowing me will really fall in love with one when i go looking and demand I get that one! lol. Shall have to see how we go on for monies xxx

tbf Kimmie...this site isn't just for those brides on a budget or else it would be called "Budget Brides UK" or something similar...im bemused as to why you get this impression when its clear there's a wide range of budgets between all the brides...besides its not the money that matters..as long as you love the dress and are comfortable..it shouldnt be a issue!!!
and i got my dress..a mori lee..o n the sale rale from £700 to £300 so they are always good to check sale rales in bridal shops

I got one from china....the worse mistake i have ever made.....the dress was hideous!.....nothing light the picture, cheap crappy material, stitching coming apart, glued on flowers.....it was heart breaking! If ur gonna do it ask for an actual photo of the dress before u buy, i wouldnt count on feedback being correct as i was offered more than half my money back as long as i left good feedback, and i got to keep the dress as well but its only useful for rags!
CommentAuthorAnnette
was this through the bay of e reilykit?

CommentAuthorNerdette
I bought my dress from China and it's almost perfect. It needs some alteration (I've lost weight since ordering it, and measured my b00bs wrong!) And some of the buttons are a little loose, but nothing that I can't fix myself with a needle and thread. The dress feels heavy, like a full wedding dress, and mum has had more than a few problems lacing up the back - mostly due to arthritis, not the dress quality. I also got a shawl, but unfortunately this has a water stain on it. I wasn't keen on ordering it, but mum pointed out it was only £8 more, and can always be dyed.
I bought because I'm on a budget, and I'm happy with the result. It'll need steaming to get the creases out but every time I've tried it on (every time I buy a new accessory) I've felt wonderful. I can't wait for it to fit properly and for me to wear it for real.
On 21st April 2012 I will marry my best friend!

MY DRESS WAS "NOT" FROM CHINA, the famous lady is not bassed in china but over here,my dress was perfect no problems what so ever,took 6 weeks for her to make it and get it to me,pics are on the book of face
CommentAuthorAnnette
Nerdette, could you post the details on my wall please? Thanks a bunch!!
Tiggs, this is she who must not be named eh? I thought she had factories in China, does not the website state it so, though she is the contact in the UK? Or am I mixed up? And please tell us more about the dress, was it good quality, was the fabric cheap or the same as in shops?
Breathe in, breathe out...
CommentAuthorAlison
My Dress came from China cost 55 for dress 15 for crinoline £70 in total. Its exactly the same as one I tried in shop stitching excellent as is all the beading. Its satin with built in bodice and fully lined. Took 6 weeks to make. Its perfect and I cant wait to wear it x
CommentAuthorsam73
I got mine from china and it's beautiful it is heavy down to bead work on the dress and it only cost £89 bargain I couldn't be happier
CommentAuthorKimmie.Bride.to.be
Nerdette and Alison, could you both please either message me or leave details of your dress makers on my wall pretty please? Unless you do it for Annette and I go for a nosey :)
Thanks xx
CommentAuthorAnnette
Hmm, maybe we should just make a rule that if you leave a review you should leave the details on my wall? lol I seem to be asking everyone for the info anyway!

Annoyingly, I can no longer find the website I ordered my dress from! I think they must have undergone a bit of a revamp, because the link provided on my confirmation email no longer goes anywhere! I'm afraid that might count as a point against them!

the fabric was made of silk taffeta ,very heavy fabric excellent quality second to none
CommentAuthormitch2509
i got a dress from china for my second dress,i have my original which i love,but i wanted one just incase mine got to heavy or i spilt something on it,
the dress from china is ok!! but i think it is nothing compared to the quality to my orignal and will only wear it if i have to!! i have always believed in "you get what you pay for "
CommentAuthorAnnette
Could you post the supplier on my wall mitch? Thanks!
Aw that's really pants Nerdette! Sounds like you were really happy with your dress so would have been good to have a look at them!

CommentAuthorLittle Kettle
I didn't get my wedding dress from China, but I did get my MoH's dress from there. Apart from an unexpected excise charge, I can't fault it! I ordered it and it was here in a couple of weeks. Did order a regular size, so there was no need to custom make to measurements supplied, so that may have been a bit quicker. Great quality and my MoH is over the moon with it! I'll leave the link on your wall as they do wedding dresses too. Hx

Hi Annette, I have bought and recieved my 2nd dress off the bay of e. My reason for a second dress is because my day one is big and heavy and wanted something light and elegant for the evening. I paid £58 for it and it is absolutly amazing, I was so shocked by the quality and how perfect it fitted and looked to the picture. I loved it that much I have ordered it in a diffrent colour for my bridesmaids. There is a picture of it in my photos. x
CommentAuthorEnny
no china dress no dress bought at all ... fell in love with ronald joyce unless i can find a dress maker who is doing it similar to what i fell inlove with happy to pay less if the quality is good :) so not tried dresses from china either but i think they aren't as bad if u give the right measurements etc :)

Heather, I ordered my wedding dress from them too, link is on my wall from the other day. I was hoping that someone else on here would have. I'm glad yours was good as it now feels more likely that mine will be too. Re excise charge, it says that you may have to pay import but, due to the random nature of customs, they can't know in advance if your parcel is going to be stopped and checked. Some are and some aren't.

but also if your parcel is going to be stopped might be they only searching it because of drugs... u never know...
