Landy Bridal

Hiya ladies
My dresses have arrived from Landy today and they are amazing, great quality and really well made.
The colour isn't exactly what I wanted but choosing from the colour chart is really hard as you cant actually see the colour vvery well.
I ordered 3 bridesmaids dresses, 1 flower girl dress and my Hollywood dreams dress which is a basic size 14 as I was heavily pregnant when I ordered so couldn't get measured, it seems very small for a 14 but I am glad as it will give me more of an incentive to loose weight.
Good luck with all your weddings. x

If you buy a dress, you get so many score/points, which can get you a discount on future purchases.


Handy if you are buying bm dresses first, then using the discount for a wedding dress, but doubt that applies to more than a few people on here (most would get them all at once)

miss k, when you order custom made they email you with the sizes they need & confirm the dress number & colour. they then respond they will make your dress and will email you when it is dispatched. hth

Thanks for that...

when did you order pennies?

i ordered on the 7th june....

My dress came on thursday. the paperwork says that it was shipped on the 22nd June!! ...meaning that they only needed 2 weeks to work on it.

I did not order thru their website. I emailed them and ordered thru email, which is a bit of a hassle, but i have some specific requirements so I just wanted to be sure that they know what i am talking about before i pay.

I emailed them again on 30th June just to check the progress of my dress, and they replied on 1st saying that it has been shipped. (i assumed it was shipped on the 1st...so imagine how surprised i was when the courier came to deliverit on the 2nd )

Hey chardonnay,

I just noticed that you are getting married one day after me. Did you order thru landy as well? have u received your dress? Hope you'll get yours soon XX

PS: i bought my first dress (opriginal MS) from ebay. I loved it, but the skirt was too long...and the tailor quoted me 50 odd pounds for alterations, 15 pounds for adding sleeves to it, and on top on that there is the dry cleaning cost after the work is done.....thats why i ordered a new dress from landy....works out to be so much cheaper.

I did a comparison between the two dresses, for the people who are interested. There is a good reason why designer dresses cost so much more than copies made in china.

disclaimer: please note that below is just my comparison, i am not trying to put people off ordering dresses from china , or make people feel inferior for ordering from china, etc etc...

Putting my original and landy copy side by side....i can tell that:
1. the satin used by landy is a different type, which is much lighter and creases more easily. the original dress is like 3 times heavier than the landy one.
2. The original MS dress has got great boning..but landys dress lacks this. The boning is not so good and i will need to buy a corset, as I dont think its easy to add extra boning to the dress.
3. the lace in the original dress is very 'full, beautiful and intricate ....landy's lace not so 'full' - a lotof the lace areas is plain tulle..(if you get what i mean).
4. the original dress is more sparkly, as it uses a different type of beads, and there are more beads on the original dress because there is more lace to sew the beads onto.

And yes, it does feel different wearing the original dress, as compared to wearing the landy copy. I can definitely feel that the original dress offers more support because of the boning, and that the overall look of the dress is different from the landy copy.

Having said this,...i love my landy dress as its got all the extra bits ( sleeves, shawl, matching jacket) i wanted and its the correct length.

Thanks Pennies,
That's really helpful for those of us who are still trying to decide which way to go!
Definately food for thought!
