Wedding Dresses from China?

runawaybride

hi thanks her communication has been wonderful she asked when i needed dress and i told her 16th may which is 4 weeks before wedding she has promised me that will be fine so im hoping even with any hold ups at customs i will still have it in time. im not too stressed as its not my actual wedding dress (ordered that from a wedding boutique and probably paid too much as im guessing most of the dresses are made in china anyway but no stress for me) its just a more practical dress to change into. we are getting married at gretna green at 12.30 so after ceremony and photos we will have a few hours to wander around before our evening meal in hotel. i didnt think it was a good idea to walk around tourist areas and shops in a full gown lol but still wanted to look like a bride all day.

Had a couple of private messages RE: the samples I ordered - just posting the info here as well in case it's useful to someone else.

I ordered the full set of coloured chiffon samples (142 colours) for bridesmaid dresses - cost me £12 including postage.
The samples don't have their own listing - they are offered as a variation option on only some of the bridesmaid dress listings but the seller assured me that any of their chiffon bridesmaid dresses could be made up in any of the colours, even if the sample chart wasn't offered on a particular listing.

I ordered mine from this listing:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stock-Chiffon-Floor-Length-Bridesmaid-Dresses-Formal-Evening-Dresse-Size-6-16-/190812038834?pt=UK_Wedding_Dresses&var=&hash=item2c6d48a6b2
select "1 color card" in the colour and size boxes - looks like it's gone down to £10 now
Some of the listings offer a smaller set of 2-8 samples cheaper - I think you can choose which ones.

Be aware that the cost of my bridesmaid dresses jumped from £29 to £49 once I'd chosen both the custom colour and custom size options - still cheap though.

Not sure if they do samples for the bridal gowns as well.
Best thing to do is message the seller and ask - use simple words though as their English isn't great
The bridal gown my stepsister is wearing in the photos I posted was also made by this seller

hi my dress arrived (16 days after ordering) and im very impressed if your looking for a budget dress i can recommend based on my experience. i ordered stock size rather than custom as it is a lace up back so adjustable so i think that helped with the fast delivery time. the finishing although not designer quality is as good as anything from the high street and the fabric is lovely. the top is fully lined with no raw edges and the modesty panel behind the lace up section which cant really be seen is lace to match the top not just plain as i expected. il try and upload a picture if i can work out how.
this is the link to the ebay item hope its worked

just a note for anyone ordering the sizes are american so check your measurements i needed a size smaller.

that dress is lovely like i said im only going on my one experience but im thinking of ordering from them again as i want a dress for a wedding im attending as a guest 6 weeks after ours and some of the short 'bridesmaid' dresses look like they would be suitable without looking too bridesmaidy if you know what i mean lol.

I ordered from China and when it come it was awful. Never seen anything so poorly up together in all my life. I do think it's very hit and miss who you order from. Xx
