Landy Bridal

ok - im just waiting for the pics to upload. - and now my bridesmaid came round so i have some decent pics instead

I am in complete shock, the dresses are far better than I was expecting - and that really is underselling how good these dresses are.

The bridesmaids dresses feel the same as the ones in the shops - I was shocked that the material doesn't feel cheap and is not shiny - its a satin material though.
If I was being picky the the beading is sown on a little loosely on a few of the beads. The only reason its a problem is that is is sown on with white thread - which is visable but easily fixed.

Ok my dress - the beading is soo sparkily - I was expecting this to be where you could really see the difference in quality and was going to get more beads added but it really doesn't need it.
the dress fits very well, it may need taking up a cm or 2 but I did add a few to my height just in case - I will definatly need somethng to hold me up properly - my 32 H's are just too heavy for the boning that the dress has - I think if you are a D cup or below you would be fine without anything underneath
I'm going to look at corsets as I think a strapless bra will still give me a line under my bust.
The "quality" is great its really heavy - not as heavy as the shop one though but thats better for me anyway- i love it!!!

accessores - the bags are the wrong colour - but I knew they would be - I'll probably sell them on ebay as the girls aren't keen. They are lovely though an i'll keep on for me as its so pretty and really well made

jacket - fits perfectly - and matches the dress very well

hoop - is the perfect size and you cant see the hoop through the dress - it is like a pop up tent when you take it out of the pack- it is a bit small but it has a tie up so you dont need to forc it closed

Veil - its not hard and cheap as I was expeting, but I don't like it - it has a satin trim which it what is putting me off. My mate has offered me hers to borrow but I may just cut the satin off and rehem it as there is nothing else wrong with it

pics in a sec- need to find my usb cable

OooOOOooo Alfred Angelo, very nice!
Ok, as you say the boning isn't adequate but you can achieve a perfect hourglass shape.
You will need to purchase a corset and I strongly recommend you get a good one. Not e bay!
Once you have your corset, stoop/bend forward. This allows your bust to sit where it should. Hold your bust with your hands and get someone to fasten you into the corset.
Do the same when you put on your dress and, while holding the bust area, get your helper to begin lacing you in.

thanks linda - its supposed to be a mori lee - but they are both very similar- the only real difference is that the mori lee has a slight sweetheart neckline and the red band at the top is wider - I don't know how the copyright works as they are so similar to each other - unless they are secretly the same company?

lindaatno9

Going by the AA the detail is different and the red insert at the back is much wider. Regarding copyright, the chinese don't really worry about that There has to be a certain amount of changes and I would guess there are in your case.

lol - i know about the chinese - but I don't get how mori lees and alfred dont argue with each other!! :

Oooh that's lovely! Once you have the right under garments it'll look fab - there's no limits to what can be acheived with an industrial corset so I wouldn't worry about it not being boned as much as you'd hoped - when i tried on dresses recently the lady said that good underwear was a must, even for those which looked like you couldn't wear any.

It's much like house building. They are only as good as their foundations!!!
