I didn't realise custom made could be so reasonable.

I've just been looking at thread that frannyann started about winning a wedding dress and while I was on it I was having a nose about the comp's site.

OMG. :eek:I didn't realise wedding dresses could be custom made for such a reasonable price, had I known I almost certainly would have had a custom made dress.

For those that are curious it says...

Bespoke need not be the dream option which requires the big budget. Our gown prices start from as little as £350, [FONT=Georgia, Garamond, serif]so to guarantee you receive a unique, hand crafted gown, we recommend early booking as we fill our diary quickly.[/FONT]

I know!! Makes you wonder why anyone would go through the stress of buying from China, when you can get custom made here for a similar price!!!

I am still in shock! I've seen your work and reviews before Linda and was assuming I would need £800 plus to get me something nice.


I am really kicking myself now for not having asked before! I loved my dress but if I could've had custom made there would have been no issues with the grating sequins, no bones buckling because they were too long for me! Drat, damn and b*gger.

I called one of the custom dress makers advertising in one of the wedding magazines and was quoted 'at least' £900 - I was like 'off to china then'. Now I am getting in touch with Linda to see what can be done to sort out the mess...

my post bubbles. Easy to assume why many people charge what they do but in all fairness, I have no idea but can only assume shop premises/overheads etc have to be accounted for somewhere.

i am taking all my fave bits from 3 designer dresses and having them made in to one. £475 i think (or 495) can go cheaper with the fabric or all in silk for 600 which is still half price to a shop dress.

Yep, and no alteration charges which can add up to £100 in some cases. :beer:
