Audrey Hepburn Style Dress

Options
Hello!

I would really really love my wedding dress to be like Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. Anybody know of any sites I could find something similar.

When I search I only find the chinese sites and that makes me very nervous as I've heard bad things.

I don't want to spend lots and lots. But would like to get an idea for my budget planning.

Thanks for any help

    I don't know what their pricing is, but I came across this dressmaker: https://www.candyanthony.com, which apparently did this dress:

    From the website:


    "Candy Anthony bridal gowns are available in dreamy shades of almond, ivory, blush, oyster, taupe and pure white. Choose from an enticing range of necklines; sweetheart, slash-neck, strapless, halter or plunging and bustlines; cross-front, empire or gathered. Add a sleeve (or two!) cap or 3/4 length, and a collar; Peter Pan or cowl. Decide on an overlay; lace, tulle or polka-dot and between a silk sash or bow-belt. Step into a magnificent petticoat, pick out a shrug, or stole then complete with a veil; birdcage, pillbox or net.


    All styles are available in UK size 6-24. Please allow at least 4-6 months for a gown to be made (subject to style, time of the year and availability).


    Prices start from £995 (including petticoat)."

    Try Dolly Couture, not as expensive as Candy Anthony and I've only heard good things about them despite being based in the USA. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    It looks fabulous, total knockout.
    The pattern looks fairly simple.
    It's my bet that a dressmaker could knock one out fairly quickly.
    Just a matter of sourcing the material.

    My aunt made my dress, which would've been perfect had i not been rather ill and lost weight. She said it wasn't a particularly complicated pattern.
