    We haven't set a date yet, we're looking at a couple of venues at the weekend, but it's likely to be this time next year.

    I'm not ready to try on dresses. Like all brides, I want to shift a few lbs first!

    BUT I am very excited about these dresses, and like Sexki11en, I will probably order once I know what I want.

    thanks guys.

    On balance I've got with cj in durham - with the wedding so close a uk maker will be easier to deal with if there's a problem, plus I'd like to give business to a uk seller. I was impressed with landy's price, but they avoided givig me a price for making it shorter, so £105 was a guess based on the website.

    Yes it's slightly more, but I'll let you all know how it turns out - lead time is 4 weeks max.

    I didn't have to pay any extra for having my dress shorter than the standard length from Landy - I sent her my measurements and its perfect!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    I asked several times if there would be a difference in price, but never got an answer. But like I said, our wedding is in July so if there's a problem I feel safer with a UK seller - imagine if there was a problem; I'd have to worry about getting a replacement from the other side of the world! I was impressed with Landy, just want to play safe! I'm sure everyone who ordered with them is going to look just wonderful.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    I had to pay 15 gbp more for mine as it was classed as a plus size....It was made to measure and my normal dress size is anything between 22 and 26!, hence why I opted for the made to measure dress :D

    I have made my chief bridesmaids choose a landy dress so we will be ordering those in the next couple of weeks.

  • My dress by Milly Bridal is now being cut and sewn. Am nervous and excited all at the same time.

    I got mine through ebay but I think she also has a website which has a huge choice on it but I don't know the URL - sorry.
    Mine with a lace up back and detachable train made to my length was £92 including delivery.

    Ellionic - if you were talking about CJ in durham, her website is below. She's really speedy replying to emails, and helpful. I paid yesterday evening and my dress is being started today, she's quoted 4 weeks because she's busy with prom dresses.

    I'm sure whichever company you go with you'll look lovely.

    I'll let you all know what happens when my dress arrives!
