    Gorgeous dress!

    I think you may find it difficult to get a Maggie Sottero from the US now though hun as they stopped exporting them ages ago to the UK.

    The only way you can get a Maggie from the US now is if you know someone who lives in the US that you can get it delivered to and then they can send it on to you via normal international post.

    Hey FairyShazza. We know someone in the US who would have done that. However, yesterday I called the shop and asked if the dress was in the sample sale. It wasn't - but they let me have it at 20% off anyway :j I went and picked it up last night and now it's hanging in the spare bedroom and I can look at it whenever I like :D Paid £600 instead of £750. Still a lot but well worth it

  • Hi Steph
    I like all those dresses, i'm awful for making choices. I need to start looking for a dress as my date is 2nd Feb 2009:eek: . I just know that once i start trying them on i will want to have it there and then:D . I like the Maggie Sottero Adelaide dress.
  • Here's me in the shops sample dress

    It's Irina by Maggie Sottero. Thing is, I chose it back in about Jan/Feb time and now I see other people's dresses I'm not so sure about it. Think it might be a bit plain.

    I haven't tried it on for about 6 months though, and I did love it at the time, so perhaps when it comes in and I have a few fittings I might fall in love with it all over again...

    I feel like that about my dress too - the picture I have doesnt do it justice though and I think you forget how it feels to wear it!
