Wedding Dress - Half made...
I-Heart-Me
Posts: 68 Forumite
Hi all,
Looking for a bit of advice from anyone who might know or have a bit of an opinion...
I have a dress in mind that I'd like to have made although I am in two minds to have it made from scratch completely
OR
buy a simple (cheap) dress that fits well and I like the skirt and then have a dress maker embellish the top with loose fitting flat, rough edge daisy flowers, some with gems, to cover the entire top and attach fake buttons down the back and also fake straps again with the daisy flowers.
What do you think would be cheapest? I don't really have much of an idea of what shirt type I really like or want
thx x

personally I would go and speak to a dressmaker and get some quotes for both options..
Whilst it may appear cheaper to buy something and then alter it some dressmakers would be of the opinion that its best to start from scratch...and the time involved in changing things actually outweighs making new and embelishingfrugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
