    You can also order dresses from India which I assume is similar to China.
    U can fax/email the shops and they will produce identical outfits.
    :cool:
  • My dress cost £585 and although it was fairly expensive I absolutely loved it. I wouldn't normally be so extravagant with expensive clothes but I don't intend to get married again so I wanted it to be special to me.

    I have worked out today how much I have spent in the bridal shop and it came to £1,330 so far.

    That includes;

    My dress (£705)
    Shoes
    Tiara
    Veil
    Basque
    Hire of petticote
    1 Bridesmaid dress (for my pregnant sister)

    Alterations will come on top, I expect them to be around £200 for my dress, and 2 bridesmaid dresses so all in all it will come to around £1,500.

    £500 isn't expensive in this day and age.
