Try the link I posted, there are a couple called 'Grand Passion' there.

Thanks. I saw this site last week and have my eye one it already Thing is I need one in my size (the only one there is a size ten...I'd love to be that optimistic!) or a pic good enough for landy to copy. I'm stumped. Maybe i'll just choose the closest one. Either that or trawl through random wedding pics til I find it!!

Noticed at the bottom you can post a 'wanted' for the dress you want, may be worth a try as sooo many dresses on ebay, brides will be looking out for an actual buyer?

Just a note to all of those who are considering buying, or have bought, a dress from Landy Bridal. Landy Bridal create replicas of designer dresses, such as Maggie Sottero and Mark Lesley. They may be good quality, and extremely good value for money, but you must consider the ethics involved. They are actually 1) not advertising these dresses as fake copies, instead of originals and 2) it is illegal for them to copy designer dresses. If you buy from them, you are indeed fuelling piracy of wedding dresses! The designers, such as the afore mentioned, will not able to afford to create stunning new designs for Landy Bridal to copy, if everyone starts buying the rip-offs! You also have to consider, if the dress does not fit when it arrives, you will need to find someone to carry out the alterations for you - some people will not alter a dress they have not supplied, and those that will are sure to charge you a fortune. There are now plenty of Wedding stores offering very good value for money gowns, you just need to look for them, instead of going to the large shops in or near town or prominent situations, where they will clearly have large rent overheads. I actually own an out-of-town Bridal store, and stock a lesser known designer so that I can offer amazing gowns at very good prices, with in-house alterations and a full guarantee. I am sure I am not the only one out there, and people have travelled to our shop from several districts away, just get to get a great dress, with great service, at a reasonable price. You may also want to try and see if there are any charity shops that have a specialised Wedding store, as you can often find gems here, with some brides almost immediately donating their gowns so there may even be this seasons gowns in there! Goodluck wedding dress hunting! Louise from Mystia

I thought I would comment on this.
YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH OFFSHORE STORES SUCH AS LANDY OR MILLY!!!!!
They offer such good rates which is why so many use them. Many ladies don't give a rats A** about quality because (and please excuse me for saying this) they aren't really in the know. They get the dress of their dreams for a fraction of the price. Offshore stores have little or no overheads.
Many ladies also don't have the original to put side by side of the replica. They simply fall in love with "their" dress when it arrives.

I have no overheads at all as I work from home, but I make each gown from start to finish. I order fabric, select patters, cut the fabric, stitch the fabric and do all of the bead work/finishing myself. I don't have the "production factory line" that the chinese do. I can't even compete with the chinese. I have to offer something different and mine is about the product, the cost and the service (I believe) I have excellent aftersales service and would bend over backwards if (heaven help me) something wasn't right. I wouldn't rely on the T&C stating that a custom made dress won't be put right if there is a problem. As an independant, I have a reputation to uphold. I would move heaven and earth for a client. Even if that meant putting something right I did not make! The wedding business is about happy clients wherever they purchase their gown from!
