Did anyone wear one?

Are they good quality/comfortble?

If anyone has any experiences please let me know!

Thanks

    Ive got one but ive not wore it yet. 4 weeks to go! Its lovely though. I bought it second hand so it was well worth the value. From what Ive wore of it it was comfy enough so fingers crossed its ok for a whole day.

    I wore a Maggie Julie wedding dress :)http://www.maggiesotterobridal.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=julie&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=8&style=433

    It was fairly comfy,as its not as big as some of her dresses !

    the corset back wasnt as uncomfortable all day as i had imagined it would be !

    i did get changed in the evening though,to a lighter dress as it was one of the hottest days of the year ,i was in my day dress from 10 am - 7pm and it was fine :)

    Mine is very like Rachie B's shapewise. Theres only one pic of it I can find online and it doesnt do it justice at all. I was actually really worried when I saw the pic until I tried the dress on again and realised it was much nicer

    Rachie B. You know how the corset at the back of yours doesnt have a modesty panel the whole way up, mine is the same as that too and theres no way Im going braless so im thinking of getting something put in there to cover it up. What did you do?

    It was excellent quality and really comfortable.

    It was the first dress I seen when I went dress shopping and I fell in love with it straightaway :D

    It just stops half way up which is rather odd. The lady I bought it off had her bra showing across the middle of the corset! Im going to take it to a seamstress to see if she can get a closely matched material and just put one in for me.

    YEH i had a maggie sottero dress They are excellent:j :j
    We spent over £1000 on my gown new and it was worth every penny :rotfl:
    They are great!! i wore mine all day from start to finish!.
    Very comfortable,and excellent quality:T

    Mine was called 'paige' it had a corset for the back, that i wore with no bra and my back showing.
    I had like foam(lol) fitted in the frount to keep my boobs in place and to make it look like i had great tits! and they didnt move once which gave me the confidence to wear no bra!!. and also the extra 'boobs' gave hubby a shock at the altar!! lol

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
