Stupid dress shop!

Went wedding dress shopping to day and there was one dress I liked. So far so good. Shop won't allow pictures. Not too shocking as a lot of places won't. But they also refused to even tell me what the designer is- just their code name for it which is penny. There website doesn't say which desigenrs they stock and the only picture on their site is blurry! I wouldn't mind but I don't even want to have a copy of it made- i just want a decent pic of it so i can rememeber what it looks like!! Grrrrr

So if anybody has any idea of which designer has pictures on their site with a background like THIS (penny is the top picture) then give me a shout and I can go find a decent pic of it. It is strapless and beaded with a satin rouched band across the waist...

Just felt the need to vent at their petty-ness!

    I'm glad I'm not alone in noticing that... :)

    It's not cheap- it was around £890 (there is a LOT of beading on it!)

    I've browsed around a lot of designers sites but none I've looked at so far have that style background.

    So far I have eliminated:
    Alfred Angelo
    Demitrios Brides
    Hollywood Dreams
    Phil Collins Bridal
    ellis bridals

    yep, will have a look. Shops do this I'm afraid so unless you commit to purchase, not piccys.

    I was lucky as my shop gave me all the details and let me take pics. Am really glad as I had a bit of a wobble over my dress but felt reassured when I saw the pics.

    Not sure if this will help but found this info online: Confetti & Lace stock designers such as Maggie Sottero, Jenny Packham, Mori Lee and Alfred Sung.

    Will try to have a look at a few sites later - if a few of us look we might be able to track it down. x
