    Hiya girls do any of you know which dress this one is based on? I've googled loads but I'm not coming up with anything.

    I've ordered it off another Chinese website but after all the reviews I'm reading I'm seriously considering going through paypal to get a refund :0(

    I've asked a dressmaker how much this would cost to get it replicated and she quoted £1200-£1400 eeekk. This is too much so I thught I'd ask you lovely people :0)

    Do you know where Royal Quays is? At North Shields?

    Theres a worn once bridal shop there called Emily Janes. Average price of dresses is around £400. I went yesterday. There were some lovely dresses, but nothing for me. Worth a look.

    Just my advice: go and try on this dress. In real life it may not look as good as in the pic, it may not suit you etc. I saw so many dresses online and in mags that looked different in the shop!
