Really trying to do the whole wedding on small budget as overspent on the honeymoon!
Many thanks for any help. xx

    Never heard of them but there's a lot of threads about Chinese wedding dress sites - some people have got lucky, but there's a lot of horror stories. Personally I'd be wary of anyone who can't spell 'shining' and did wonder if you'd typed it wrong but you haven't!
    If you want a nice dress at a decent price try somewhere liked Preloved or Ebay (private seller), or look for sales, or samples.
    Whereabouts in the country are you and what's your budget?...I'm sure somebody would be able to help find places you could try

    Thanks ellay864. I think now that I've seen something I like, trying to find something similar but getting no-where. Really dont want to spend more than £300, but maybe that's not being realistic, after seeing the prices yesterday on the high street. I'm based in Ipswich Suffolk and any help would be greatfully receieved.

    The dress I really liked was a sincerity + 4518 and I'm looking for something similar but in a UK 12/14, there must be something out there somewhere in the UK and not USA / China
