    Guys - I ordered a chinese custom dress and it arrived this morning! I have tried dresses on in shops and have never really felt like there was anything special - nothing felt like 'me'. Other brides I know have said they knew when it was 'the one' and cried when they tried the dress on! Well… This happened to me when I put it on this morning. I purposely decided not to set my hopes too high for the dress, after all - you usually get what you pay for, but not in this case. I can not believe the quality of the dress. It's almost identical to a designer dress I tried on. They were really accommodating with the requests I made to change some details - I asked for buttons to be sewn right down the back and on to the train and for it to be made without the sash as I had already bought my own. It even came in a lovely dust bag - something I was not expecting. All in - it cost me £160 including postage and only took 6 days to get to Scotland once it was sent from China. It took about 21 days to tailor. If you are on a budget - I say GO FOR IT! If anyone is interested in the website I used, let me know and I can post to your wall or add to mine.

    If you type in WWD005GB into the search it should come up. It's similar to Justin Alexander 8530. I am going round to my bridesmaids house tonight to get pics of me in the dress - can email them to you later? The quality is surprising! I took my own measurements and sent them, so it was custom made rather than choosing a size to fit to my measurements. I really wanted something vintage looking and it is perfect! The picture on the website I told you about still doesn't do the dress justice - it's a nice satin layer underneath and there is a lace/tule type overlay. :)

    Thanks guys - that's what I did, hunt around for the styles you like and try some on. Even try on stuff that you don't think you will suit, because some times when you see pictures of yourself in the dress, it actually looks nicer if that makes sense!!

    Great advice!
    I really like mermaid style and A-Line, so hopefully one will suit!
    Just straps and things i'm still unsure of ect, and whether to veil or not to veil!
    Decisions decisions...

    I've decided to go for hair jewellery instead - an art deco hair chain as the lace is quite busy and has a high bateau neckline so I didn't think a veil would be any use and a birdcage wouldn't go with the style. Just remember that most dresses can be customised so if you like a strapless dress and you need straps - get them added! If you try a strapless dress that suits the rest of your body shape but you'd like a bit of lace at the top to cover your shoulders then most seamstresses can sew on a lace bolero jacket or even add a lace overlay for you. This kind of advice works well when you're looking at sample sale dresses that aren't quite your style - but it doesn't take much to make it suit you! Just try on wedding dresses til you think you'll be sick at the sight of another dress!

    FYI to anyone else waiting to hear back from 'she who cant be named'

    I have had a reply which has settled part of my panic.

    The only issue is she says shes not sent samples to me yet as the supplier hasnt got them to match the sample colour I attached to the email.

    Have asked for further clarification - I would of thought Champagne was a popular choice!

    She did my sash champagne hun it may be shes waiting on samples as I think she is actually in the uk and has the dresses made and sent to her before posting on as mine was uk postage on it x

    Maybe thats what she meant - I know the translation can get a little muddled

    " Hi
    Sorry. we still haven't sent the sample yet.
    The sample we got from suppler is different from picture you send.
    best Regards "

    Will have to see what she says next as I've asked if that means she cant do it in the colour I want - getting extra jittery the closer it gets to Sept-Oct as thats when I need to place the actual order!
