any advice appreciated!

Hi everyone, looking for any suggestions you ladies(and gents!) might have on how to find my dream dress at the most reasonable price. I have fallen in love with an eternity dress but the stockist nearest to me is charging more than I can afford. I've posted a request on pre loved and I've been checking ebay regularly in the hope that one will pop up but i've had no luck so far. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated :j

Phone round all the bridal shops within a reasonable distance to see if they stock it any cheaper, or you might be lucky and be able to buy the sample (another bride on here did this and got a £2.4k dress for £1k with all alterations and repairs included).
Or, perhaps you could speak to a dressmaker - they often don't charge as much as you might think, and although they won't do a carbon copy of the dress, they would make you something to your specifications which could be based on that dress.
Otherwise, be patient and just keep checking ebay and preloved!

I second white sapphire - I got £500 off my dress by phoning round for prices from other places x

Or maybe a stockist will have a display one that fits and will sell you that - Catherine's is one of these and it was less than 1/2 price!

Phone around as the others have said

I got my dress cheaper because I did this and I'm really not the best of people for attempting to haggle!
