Hi Padingtondoo the petticoat that she sent me has a hoop (can't remember if i said!) i didn't want one BUT it looks quite good and is also removable, haven't tried it with the dress but it's easier to walk in! It was £25 so let me know if you want any info..

My dress arrived out of the blue this morning.

I'm absolutely speechless - its gorgeous! It's been hand beaded boned with cups in and everything.
The fabric is fantastic and the finishing is excellent.

I just can't believe how they got it in such a small package. Once I plucked up the courage to open it it just expanded.

I'm really really excited - i haven't tried it on yet as I can't manage a lace-up back on my own unfortunately and it weighs the same as ones I've tried on in shops. Yes it does need a petticoat but I'm sure I can get one for the huge amount of money I've saved.

Sorry to run on so much!

Hi glad you are pleased with it, they are gorgeous dresses aren't they! i have to say when the man at the PO handed me the package i too was a bit..hmm it's not going to be great! was very happy to open it and it's so heavy like yours! Again like you i want to try it on again BUT it's lace up aswell so can't! friends over next weekend so ill get her to help me with the petticoat too!

Hi girls,

I am so very happy to have found this thread! I'm not getting married just yet, but me and the bf have discussed it a lot recently and having had a cursory glance at the costs involved - it's so expensive! Like everyone, I want to be a princess on the day, but not to the tune of £1000 for a dress I'll never wear again! Incidently, when I lived in the Philippines, I had a dress made for a posh do at the British embassy. I was really delighted by the quality and it was hand-embroidered with crystals across the floor-length gown. So, just because something is done in the far east, it doesn't mean it will be inferior quality (I think thats what I'm trying to say!).

Good luck with it all

I am so happy for you, glad it's turned out so lovely.

I'm quite interested in buying from there myself now... Went looking at dresses yesterday but the 2 I like were both £895!!!:eek:

Might have to shop around a bit more...

Thanks alot to everyone on here, you have now given me the courage to go for a ebay dress, really was'nt sure because of quality and because I am not a small girl so normally have to try everything on, but am going to go to some bridal shops to try on some different styles to see if they fit nice then get measured up and order off of the net.
Am getting married in sept so will have to get a move on now.

Thank x

I went a tried loads on but other than giving me an idea of what suited me I didn't find the one.

I wanted a white lace up back dress and there seem to be so few of them in the shops. I'm also far short of the 5' 8" average so would have had to pay a fortune for the dress to be shortened especially as the one I have has a satin edging to the organza. This way I got it made to my length and the saving was a bonus.

I also didn't have to pay any import duty or VAT as most of the cost was postage. I ordered my dress in the middle of January and received it last week but there was a 2 week delay for Chinese new year so it would have taken 6 weeks all together.

Did you manage to try it on yet Padingtondoo, Did it all fit well??

Not yet my friend isn't free until next Wednesday so will be then. I keep going and looking at it!

It looks about the right size and is the right length once I get a hoop sorted out.

Will upate you all as soon as I can.
