    I've P'M'd Kelda with this link because they look lovely. Great price too. Think what I've said is a bolero is actually the shawl draped over the model. :confused:

    Hi I've had a dress from this seller for a ball. Good quality, fast delivery and was much admired on the night!

    It was style 106b in burgundy and even came with the brooch as shown!

    Hi

    I've heard good things about this ebay seller - they make dresses from your own designs, as well as bits of others dresses, email them with what you want - They are supposed to be really reasonable too. Clicky

    I used Terminal730-uk for my bridesmaid dresses. They arrived last week. Worked out at £65 each including postage (and a free necklace - but the necklace is hideous lol). When the dresses first arrived I thought my god they are hideous as they were all crumpled from the packaging but after hanging them up overnight, I now think that they are lovely. They looked even better on the bridesmaids too.

    Overall I would recommend them, good comms and price but they did take a few weeks longer than they estimated.

    Interesting I had emailed them yesterday about my BM dreses and they came back that they could do all 4 for £210 with free necklaces..:rotfl: would you be able to send me a pic of yours versus the original? Just for a little piece of mind?

    Thanks Linda! I'm still looking for local seamstresses too, as I'd rather give money to local businesses but keeping my options open at this point as cahs is the consideration! :)

    I'm afraid there were no takers in the sewing forum. There is one superb corset maker but thought yours were a bit out of her comfort zone. Corsets are her thing.
    Let us know how this new one works out. x
