I've fallen in love with the idea of this dress or similar with the baby blue in. Has anyone had anything similar and did u get it from a shop?I can only find them online and don't know whether to take the risk or not. Any advice welcome

Not sure where you live but Yorkshire Bridal can get wedding dresses in various colours, I’m having mine in black

This looks like an alfred angelo dress so you won't find any in store but maybe online.. I know people have had their wedding dress dyed to get the colour they want.

Find a dressmaker to make you it if you cant find the one you want, it's no where near as expensive as you may think.

I was exactly the same I loved the style of them till I tried one on and didn't like the way it felt on.

Hate to say it this dress is probably 12-15 years old I fell in love with it when I was a lot younger x wouldn’t risk buying online find a local dress maker they may be able to make something similar x

Buying online isn't as bad as some thinks..my dress was bought online.it all depends where u look..shop around a bit but I had a dress custom made to order and its so perfect..I only payed £160.i chose the style I wanted by trying a few on in a bridal store first..fell in love with a dress..but by looking online I saved myself £1150...

You will find it on ebay read the feedback etc and you should be fine my sister and I both got married she bought her dress in a shop I didn't see it I got mine online they were bear identical but mine was not even half the cost of hers and mine was custom made as I'm bigger on top than bottom by a good bit iv had other dresses from ebay custom made also and they have all been perfect

I have similar but with dark purple and was bought from eBay at a bargain £50 I love it and other than being too long (which at 5'1 was always going to an issue) it fits perfect and has a quality feel to it so I'm truly impressed especially as I never buy online for all the bad things you hear however the bridesmaid dresses can't have the same said for them they are nice and were bargain price but both slightly different colours even though ordered same time from same supplier so avoid Hong Kong yui sheng industries as nothing but problems with them trying to return one of dresses and get 2 same colour and style they still saying (after I hand delivered to distributer) they haven't received any and won't refund or replace had to order another which arrived yet another colour and style and shabby workmanship it's cost an extra £58 to get it repaired as didn't want to buy yet another and only 2 weeks until I get married x good luck x
