    I found my dress a wile ago and fell in love when i tried it on... So i used a company to get it made and it has constantly been delayed... Well i eventually got pics last nite and i am not happy with it at all.... :( I havn't got it yet as the beading still isn't finished but when i saw the pics my heart just sank... Its fully paid for and have now been told that it will be here in the next 3 weeks but i feel like i dont want it now..

    Any advice? :(

    I have pics in my album of dress and ring.. It isn't finished, the beading and straps are not on it yet.. maybe its just bacuse i've been waiting soo long to get it, now they are telling me that i have to get my own underskirts and i'm not getting the bolero because when i ordered it with someone else in the shop (who now dosn't work there) the info wasn't passed on so they havnt got the time to make them.. :(

    I think the dress will look beautiful when it's finished! i think that once the beading is on it will make all the difference. I bought my dress a good 12 months before the wedding and had to keep going to the shop to try it on every so often because i wasnt sure if i liked it anymore etc but everytime i put it on it was perfect. It's hard when you cant try it on.

    Can the people in the shop not reimburse you or help you get a bolero/underskirts as it was their incompetent staff that messed up in the first place?

    I agree, I think the beading etc will make all the difference, and you can see it taking shape. Don't forget as well, that things look very different on the hanger from how they look when they're on; when you get the finished thing & try it on I'm sure you'll love it again. I do think it's appalling that they messed up with the bolero & underskirts though, they should definitely offer compensation for that xx

    It'll look much better with the beading on, you can see it's the right shape now so it'll get there. Don't worry :-)

    Your cake is epic btw! Love it!

    It will so different when its finished.... don't panic too much but maybe ask the dress maker for regular pictures so you can see the beading and straps going on and put your mind at ease xxx

    Yeh I agree with everyone else. Apart from the top which you can is missing something, even without looking at the looking at the picture of how it should be, the bottom part is looking lovely. I think once the beads are on that top part will be stunning. I do love the shape of it. You will have to show us pictures of you in it after it's complete and when you get to try it on. xx

    once it's finished I'm sure it will look fine. If it needs minor tweaks it shouldn't be expensive to get a professional seamstress to do it for you. xx

    Sometimes pictures don't do it justice at all. My dress doesn't excite me that much in pictures, but in real life it just makes me want to cry happy tears its so beautiful.

    Don't get too worried until you've seen it :)

    I agree I think when it's finished it'll look amazing.

    It doesn't look like it hangs the same as the dress on the model pic. But I think that's the case with all dresses. There's a thread called "Hoopy petticoat things.." By Sprucey83 and you can see that her dress doesn't hang the same way it does on the model pic either but it still looks stunning on.

    Maybe something to consider!

    just read this thread and i think the photos sent at first were just a basic shape. i think when the beading and detail are on it, it'll look fab :)

    It's normal to feel like that about your dress. I first tried mine on 16 months before the wedding, loved it so much (couldn't get it out of my mind) that I went back to the shop the week later with my mum, and ordered and put down a deposit on it. I was measured and the dress was ordered. I was told it would take 16 to 20 weeks to arrive - but it actually took 6 months!!!

    During this time I had so many second thoughts - and even the pic I had done in the store sample I started to hate (it was too big) even though I knew the right size had been ordered.

    Even when I tried on my dress when it arrived I was nervous, thinking I was going to hate it as it had been so long - but as soon as I put it on I loved it and knew exactly why I picked it in the first place.

    Once your dress is finished and you try it on again you will love it - everyone has doubts, don't worry.

    You can't tell till you put the dress on and also the beading will add to it so when you get the dress see how you feel then, because the dress I bought i didn't like on the hanger but it was perfect when i put it on! xxx
