custom made wedding dress china?

I ordered my wedding dress on ebay (now divorced) it was absolutely beautiful - a bit too big but i would rather that than being too small, was a really unusual design too but beautiful. Mines was £17 + £39 p&p so an absolute bargain.

I would not hesitate to order any dress from China again. I may just get married a few more time for the pretty dresses lol.

I got mine from China for £90 delivered, it was very simple but wonderfully made and just the fabric alone would have cost about triple that here (a similar dress was £980 in a shop :eek:).

If you've fallen in love with a designer original though be aware that for copyright reasons the embroidery and such are different on the no-name dresses, and some people have been disappointed that it isn't an exact copy. Caveat emptor and so on - but mine was gorgeous and I would highly recommend them.

I've moved your thread over to the wedding forum Think you will find loads of good advice there

I hope this isn't too big, but it's a real live dress from China and it's currently hanging in my wardrobe.

It cleaned really nicely too, not a grass stain to be seen.

ditto on Sugar's experience. I also got a China dress which fitted better than anything from a shop would (as I took all my own measurements and it was made using those). It was a "knock off" as in based off a designer version that I was in love with at the time. Of course it wasn't identical - I wasn't expecting it to be! But for £100 it was 10 million times better than ANYTHING I could have ever hope to buy for that price over here. I was 100% satisfied with it and it arrived well within the time frame quoted.

Just go for one with lots of positive feedback and you'll be fine! And don't expect the moon and stars...it's good value but of course at the end of the day, a knock off will still be just that.
