Seen a rather nice looking dress from a distance as i was passing time in TKM** today, on closer inspection though, the zip is bust, and it's coming away at the seams at the bottom of the zip - theres also a small mark on it on the bust.

I know I only want it because it's 50 quid haha, but I'm just wondering after it's been fixed and dry cleaned, would it still work out as such a bargain...? I dont even know what dry cleaning costs, never mind what a seamstress would want... it does look like its only the zip area that's buggered though. Can you haggle in TKMa** haha

the skirt on it was exacly what im looking for though... Im tempted to go back and try it on qwith a friend and some safety pins lol. And it was in my size. At least, i think it was, it looked small, and it said 9/10 ive never seen 9/10 sizing before, and no its not a kids dress haha, but it did say it was made in china in the label

Just wondering if its worth the risk, as its only 50 quid?

I have been looking for seemstress today and found one who is taken a dress in at the seem moving shoulder straps all for £10 per dress looking on her website putting a new zip in an item of clothing is £6 the only worry i would have is the mark does it look like it will come out in the wash ? if it does and you like it and it fits then buy it !!!

Ooh that's a good price! Im not sure what the mark was, it wasnt very big but I noticed it straight away because of where it was... i just hope its not something like grease... i might go in with some baby wipes see if anyone notices me frantically trying to get the mark out hahaha

Ooh go for it! You might be able to get a bit more off the price if you point out the stain? Xx

Oh I didnt think about covering it with something. Theres detailing on it anyway, so it shoudlnt look out of place!

watch it be gone when I go back, though i cant imagine many people wanting a ripped and stained wedding dress haha

And I would also haggle! Most shops can offer up to 20% off of damaged items, but it does make them non returnable xx

Exactly!! I agree with all the other ladies, definitely worth trying on and trying to get some money off ;)

It may be why it is cheap, but if you dont ask you dont get! The worst they can say is no! xxx

If you don't ask you don't get. If it's what you want why not try it.

xxx

i might just dart in tomorrow, Il be with the boy, but Il take a bin liner with me so i can hide it and take it from there hahaha

ive just had a look on there website have you seen there £39.99 wedding dresses? i actually quite like them xx

I'll have a look, didnt even think of checking online to be honest, didnt get chance to go in today as it started lashing it down so we couldnt do a detour. I'll just take it as a sign that it wasnt meant to be if its gone next time i call in haha

T-K-M you know the shop that offers designer brands for much cheaper and had a advert featuring a woman in a evening dress mowing the lawn???? lol x

i would definatly go back & try it on. you have nothing to loose at that price

Oh hey, that second link you posted, the one with the netting is the dress I saw lol! Id its supposed to be 40 quid without damage then Im totally going to demand a reduction!!

hahahaha well take a print off with you and look at the style numbers
