I've scrapped the dress I originally wanted & emailed her a pic of the new bodice & the new glitter tulle skirt, with added extra's on (both in my albums) & she said the price may be high as it's a lot of beading/crystals. But I'm wondering what her idea of 'high' is? As the amazing dress last time, I was quoted £195! So I'm hoping it'll be under £500 haha. xx

That dress is absolutely STUNNING!! If the other dress was quoted £195 then I should think her idea of 'high' will be under £500, why don't you ask?! x

Thank you! I can't stop looking at it haha. I did ask last night but she hasn't replied so I just sent her another msg on fb, I will pester her until I get my answer! Haha. That's what I was thinking, her idea of 'high' may be totally cheaper than my idea of high!! xx

I would say her idea of high would be £300 - £400, it will be more because the beading will have to be hand sewn so will take longer to do, so I shouldn't imagine she would charge a hell of a lot more xxx

CommentAuthorSianyCaitlin
That's awesome then as my idea of high is thousands!! Lol. I've asked her for a price with that bodice & that tulle skirt & a price for that bodice with just the normal glitter skirt, without the extras, either way, I WANT THAT BODICE! Haha xx

haha well from the pictures the crystals on that have been sewn on too, so they would obviously take a long time as it is a big skirt! But I don't think she will charge any more than £400 personally, as the last dress also had some beading on it that would have needed hand sewing, hopefully she gets back to you soon though! :) xxx

Hi
I may be an overanxious bride but I thought i'd check in on this thread to see if anyone else has been in my shoes re YBW/She Who ust Not Be Named. I could really do with some reassurance that im not about to become the first complaint they have.
First of all, she asked me to pay via Google so all my Paypal protection is gone. She is slow to respond to emails and i've yet to see anything.
I was told my dress would be with me in 7 weeks. Note - "with me".
We are now into week 5 and after waiting a week for a reply, ive been told my dress will be ready in 2 weeks.
WHAT?! I havent approved the fabrics yet!! I have no idea what colour they have chosen, ive not seen any lace samples as was promised and they havent asked me any questions. I would have thought they'd want to check a few things as my gown is 2 meshed together.
I am now really worried. Im hoping that the team in China can actually whip a gown up in 2 weeks and the reason i've heard nothing is because they havent started yet and didnt want to panic me... :-/

Purpe Rose - I haven't had any problems with she who must not be named, she's always responded to my emails within a day or so & I asked her for a sample a few days ago & she wrote to me yesterday saying the sample had come in & could I send her my address.
If you are really worried, I would just keep pestering her until you get a satisfactory answer, which I hope you get soon!
Mrs Milli, I will pop her details on your wall now xx

Purple rose - that's a bit worrying - I thought she had quite a good reputation for getting back quickly. She replied to me in about 24 hours.
That said, it is Chinese new year at the minute so maybe that's holding things up a bit? Xx

Purple rose: As LauraJo said it is Chinese New Year at the moment so most Chinese people have stopped working for the week, which may be why you are having a few problems? Did you ask he for some samples? Or were you just expecting them to be sent?
Siany: Yes it really is that chaotic! And no there wont be any spitting as we are getting married in a CofE church, not a Greek Orthodox one, but they do that at funerals and christenings too, it is supposed to ward off evil spirits! xxx

Hi all. I ordered my dress from china. It arrived in a week and is lovely. I was a bit worried about the quality cause of the price I paid but I can safely say I am anything but disappointed. The sizing is spot on too. I think it is stunning & I am a very happy girl :)
It is a big risk buying from China but it is one I am so glad I took. x
CommentAuthorRoxanneG96
i have now seen a picture of the china version of the mori lee 1858 and i dont like it, it looks very cheap :(
but ive sent a picture to a local wedding dress making shop and they said they would make it for between £300 -£350
so now its between the local wedding dress maker and the one who we arent supposed to name
ohhh the pressure! i dont know, i trust the local dress maker but on here and on her fb everyone sings her praises soooo much
CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
Go with whatever you feel most comfortable with Roxanne. She who can't be named does have good feedback, but would you feel more comfortable going and actually trying the dress as is it is being made? xxx

That's fab news Karen, do you have any pics?
Roxanne, I agree with Linzi, go with whoever you feel most comfortable with. Why not as both for samples? I've asked she who cannot be named for a sample, & it's on it's way :) xx

well, just ordered a dress i love off bay of E, (pics in album) ... thats what i ordered, lets see what turns up.it was only £45 so im not expecting much to be honest, but my mum says if its a disaster she can make my smallest bm dress and my veil out of it, so be no money lost. Really hoping its going to be like the picture tho cos i love it. Its given me a delivery time of before 9th April, seller has 100% feedback, ill upload pics no matter what the outcome!
