    I used "DressilyMe.com" and was really impressed with the quality of my lace dress. It had a few loose threads and needs taking up a bit but it had plenty of boning , cups, lots of layers etc... Its a chinese site who also do replicas. You can also email them your own design and they will give you a quote...but their emails often go through to junk mail just to warn you!

    Chinese sites can be really hit and miss so make sure you do your research on lots of forums etc and never trust posters raving about a replica site if they have only made 5 posts which are all about the same website ;)

    I got my dress from the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet and it's gorgeous! The dress itself was £400 + underskirt thingy. I can't recommend them enough. The staff were absolutely amazing and there were so many gorgeous dresses & you'd never guess they were so cheap!

    Mine was a Fara Sposa and cost around £1200 so I negotiated, told them it was more than I wanted to spend but they wouldn't budge on price so I got one bridesmaid dress, veil, shoes and headpiece free
