    There's this company also - Light in the Box. A woman I work beside, her niece got her BM dresses from there.

    I have found a place called storeofdress.com and am considetring buying from them - but the only reviews Ive found on them is the ones on their website. But thwe dress I like for mmy BMs is £198 over here and £$64 thourgh them with free P&P. Only thing is they are extroiante in com-parison for extra material.. $20 a m which they wont budge on!

    Just having a look at this from SOD

    How can I see a swatch of the color I'm interested in before I order?
    storeofdress.com provide swatch cards online only. We do not have swatches available to send out to customers. Please note that colors can appear differently on-site since computer monitors do vary.


    This is quite a big issue as colours differ on screen massively. I would be sceptical if there was a specific colour I wanted but SOD cannot offer the option of a "feelable" fabric swatch. Don't take chances with colours!

    Of course, my opinion as always but if you want a custom made dress in a custom colour and the shade is wrong, money down the pan.

    landy, milly, light in the box and sweetsend are all working out too dear with shipping.

    i found this on ebay, seller has good feedback and i think it will be a close match to our colour scheme. what do you think of it, she's 22, cheers
