    If you hang on a sec I will go and get my pic for you in a link! Mine was from Ebay and cost £65. The seller was called freetimelife and the dress is called stock bing bing or something like that. Mine wasn't made to measure but luckily the stock size 6 fits perfectly, I am a size 8 normally!

  • Chelle they are 99p, but that's on a bid, they make the money up by charging you on the postage. Landy and Milly are brilliant and if you email them a pic of a dress you like they will give you a quote. The only reason I didn't go with them was because I found this one on Ebay which I like more! And it was cheaper!! Tiger xx

    It's Milly Bridal who I have got a quote off, the dress I like is £1200, I sent them pics and they can do it for £225 which is a bargain

    I'm just worried it won't be the same :confused:

  • Lol, that's funny! It is a good cake though!

    I am so impressed with the quality, it's wonderful and I can't wait to wear it in 13 weeks, OMG!! That pic is me jut trying it on, it isn't laced up at the back very well! I also had to buy a net petticoat which was about a tenner from Ebay, to make it sit better, but you hve to do that with many dresses!

  • Just be aware girls that if you pay a lot for postage you won't get it back if you are unfortunate enough to enter a dispute and get a refund from paypal, they will only refund what you paid for the item not the postage. I think this also applies for shipping insurance as well.
    Dresses from China are a bargain but make sure the bulk of the money you pay is for the item and not the postage.
  • It won't be identical because of copywrite, but it will be a good match. Milly will send you pics as they are making it, whereas LAndy won't. Landy tens to be cheaper on the wedding dress, but Milly are cheaper on the bridesmaid dresses from my experience. If you search at the top of the page there is a huge thread on Landy Bridal with lots and lots of pics! Tiger xx
