    That is gorgeous, theres something just beautiful about it!

    I agree, I thought it was stunning, she's put poor pictures on so bids won't go high. Someone is going to get a bargain!! Didn't link it earlier because 'think' it may to too dark for what Shel is looking for!

    I know what you mean - sometimes that colour can look a bit nicotine stained or net curtains that need washing kinda colour. Not all but some.

    I hope you find a faabby dress. That your happy with.

    Hi Linda I don't know if I want to get my dress made as you know I went down that road before I know it was from china but I think I need to be able to try the dress on rather than get it made and then not like it once its made Id love to be able to design my own dress but I am worried that I wont like it once its made

    Yea thats what it looked like Princess Lol Thank you I will let you know how tomorrow goes xx

    Have some ebay hunting and come up with a few, not sure if they will be to your taste but may as well look:

    Ivory satin tulle - size 14-18

    Mori Lee - size 16

    Mori Lee - Size 18

    I 'think' that may be one that sources from china, which Shel is trying to avoid

    Mori Lee - size 16

    I found that too, but shel doesn't like the top!

    Mori Lee - Size 18

    That last one is lovely, Excellent feedback, stupid start price. She will not get that much. It may be brand new for her, but to Ebayers its second hand, simples. As advised to Hayley, if you decide you like it I would strongly suggest offering a much lower BIN price, and work up from there!

    I do Like the last one :D

    SOOOOO...I have been to 3 bridal shops today the first shop was a large one but the service was awful she forsed 2 dresses that I didnt like onto me and wouldnt let me try on the one I wanted to cos it was out of budget!!

    the second one was house :S she didnt have anything in my style but had good prices

    the third was really helpful although they didnt have anything they tried to help as much as possible....there was half a dress Lol in the sale I loved the skirt but the bust was very plain we discused customising it...she also mentioned she had a few dresses like it in thr store room..I am going back Wednesday to look

    Thank franny, I was trying to avoid the chinese ones but sometimes they r well disguised! I agree, it might be worth an e-mail to ask what price they wud accept? no way are they gonna get that much
