  • Sorry gang..

    Can i just clarify, for the ebay dresses are we going for these 2 places for the recommended ones, from the brides in the forum?
    milly bridal and the one from ebay that paddintondoo has used. ?? asap
    I am so caught up in the joy that is all your wedding dresses,I have 6 months to go and havent even thought about my frock!!! (gasp horror)..My chief bridesmaid keeps banging on about it so having kept an eye on this thread i do no, that i simply cannot afford a super spectacular shop one and am more than happy for you all to recommend the sites that you have used to get me a lovely dress too!!!

    Sorry if i am coming across a bit dense...i hate nightshifts...

    Hi ya, just finished my night shift, just got to wait up till i can wake up the kids. I have ordered mine from asapbay from ebay, and cant wait for it to come. The dress i wanted hasnt been on her site for ages, so i emailed Landy with a link to the dress i wanted, she is making it with a few alterations, sweetheart neckline, no train, with a zip, and adding swaroski ab clear stones to match my tiara, with delivery for £105!!! I had actually tried on the original in my local bridal shop, the price £800 :eek: And that was before the alterations.

    Really looking forward to it coming, i have every faith in her that it will be beautiful, her feedback is great, and so many recommendations on various wedding forums.

    That's who made mine and as I believe I may have mentioned before it's gorgeous.
    I had alterations done as well as I'm not very tall. Dread to think how much it would have cost if I had bought it here.

    And she delivers when she says she will and because of how she fills in the customs form I didn't pay any duty on it.

    I just need to sort a hoop out now - expect that will be coming from China as well lol!

    Hi paddingtondoo,

    I am short also, and the dress that i ordered had detail on the back at the bottom, so with having it made it order i wont loose it.

    Can i ask how long it took from payment to recieving the dress? I am hoping it may come a bit earlier.

    Mine has a satin edging round so didn't want to have to pay a fortune to have it put back on.

    I ordered it on 14th January and I got it last Thursday was that the 6th? She had promised I would have it by the 10th. I had also told her that I wasn't in a hurry as my wedding isn't until August. She did tell me it would take 2 weeks longer than usual because of Chinese New Year and I'm sure they must have had some delays due to the appalling weather they suffered recently. Postage only took a week.

    Has she given you a delivery date? Which style did you go for?

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Nooooooooooooo - I've been checking back all day thinking you meant THIS Wednesday!!!!! I can't wait another week to find out!

    How can you cope knowing it's sitting there and you can't try it on for another week???

    I've been so busy this week at work that I haven't really thought that much about it.

    I normally work from home for 4 days a week but have had to go into the office as the council tax bills are out so out of sight is out of mind this week - fortunately!

    God when my first dress came it was on in 1 min!!! With help of daughter trying to help do up the lace back, then i kept putting it on about 5 times in every hour :D I have to say you are very good :A .

    The dress i have ordered is this one, but not from this seller, shame it hasn't got photo of the back though.
