    I'm found a dress maker near me that makes them between £80 and £150 fully fitted depending on how complex the designs are. That includes the material and all the fittings etc. I would be interested to see the seller you are using though Sam if you could send me a link?

    Try Debenhams or Monsoon, they do lovely dresses. I got my bridesmaids dresses from LK Bennett - gorgeous colors, silk for £185 each. A little more than I was going to spend but two of them paid for theirs themselves which was a lovely surprise for me!

    I needed to get them made so that the adults match the teens. The teens are up to £70 max so again a good price if you don't want to risk china. Some of the quotes I got were crazy prices but found a decent one in the end. She was at my wedding fayre so I know that the workmanship is very good quality.

    Sam73 - looking at yoru photo's it looks as though we're using the same ebay seller for our dresses! I emailed yesterday to ask if they could do a custom dress as my BM is size 18 bust and size 12 bottom half so finding it impossible to get anything to fit!!!
    He'll do it for £44 plus £4 postage, which I think is still a good deal.
    What's the quality like? Are you happy with them? x

    Hi got my flowergirl dresses and Bridesmaid dresses on a well known auction site. They are on my profile page if you would like to see them. The FG dresses were under £4 each custom made..and even with the Postage and package from China still cost under £50. They do them in absolutely loads of colours and are beautiful.

    Hi, heather, dresses are of a good quality, fully lined and fit perfectly. My bridesmaids were very happy with them and couldnt believe the price of them. They are a company that is in China, however they have a shop in Birmingham and you can contact them as there is a phone number on the page - i did once actually as i had a message to say they had been dispatched after a few days of purchase even though it said they were out of stock for 6 weeks. I rang to see if this was correct or a mistake i was told that they had come in early and i would have them in a few days. They came recorded or special delivery (i cant remember off hand)

    Yes they are the ones on my profile, i was v v happy with them and i feel they are the bargain of my wedding at the moment lol!
    Sizes are acurate to sizes you would get in a shop in the U.K and if there is a problem with them the company are happy to exhange them for the correct size.

    Hope this helps

    That's really helpful - thanks Sam73. I ordered my MoH dress from a certain website that turns out it was based in China. I got clobbered with an excise charge which I wasn't expecting so reluctant to do that again as the other dress I need will cost more anyway! I'm assuming that the co absorbs the excise charge in this case?
    The quality of the dress was great and I'm really happy with it, don't get me wrong. But the other dress I need to order, with excise charge will come in at just over £120! Not so much of a bargain me thinks!

    Nooo there are no hidden costs what so ever with this company as it is U.K based, the reason they told me that there was originally a 6 week delay was because of the Chinese new year but then got the to me quick, if when i rang them i wasnt told this i would have been none the wiser that they were from China.
    Heather could you send me the link for the MofB outfit as i need to get something and cant find anything suitable, was the sizing good for it? and how much was the extra charges?

    Will do - can't at the mo as we're not friends - have sent friend request to you to rectify that! Extra charges are basically VAT added on as well as a customs admin charge, so about 25% extra in total. You maybe lucky and it may get through without the charge (some ladies on here have) but you should prob factor that into any budgeting, just in case. Sizing looks spot on to be honest. Although I won;t know for sure until this time next week when I see my MoH and she tries it on! x

    I've found an online uk site that does custom made dresses from £55 and discounts on 3 or more! I kept looking at bay of e but as I'm having 6 bridemaids it was hard finding enough of the one's i liked and in the right colour!!! So think I'll be getting mine from this site!!! Just asked for 2 samples so i can see the fabric quality and decide which shade to go for!!! x

    PANTHER oh just thought..did you mean the flower girl dresses or the adult bridesmaids?? the adult ones were from a variety of sellers..had to scout every day to find 4..but eventually managed it..The first one i got had 2 roses and the second only one..the first one came with a wrap so i made a rose out of it to sew on the second..the next one i bought again had only one rose..so i made another one lol..the 4th dress had only one rose!!..yeah you guessed it..i made another one...if i had realised I would have just taken one rose off the first one lol They do look lovely though. There is a seller though who i found at the end of my search that specialises in those types of dresses from deb..en..hams..lol if you want her link I will send you that too..xxxx

    Hi ya,
    I just paid £50 each for made to measure full length dresses for the girls, Shawls in the same material £7.
    found them on bay and I was a bit dubious but went to the shop and they were amazing. Another B2B I met on here met me there too and they couldnt have been more helpful.
    Dont get me wrong there are a few different styles but they will create the dress for the bm's from something you have seen too.
    if want the info give me a shout.
