Wedding dress recommendations?

Any websites you would recommend please drop a link below!

It’s hard to tell what sites are good so also advise any to stay clear of! Thank you all!

I would go to a bridal shop unless you are on a really tight budget. A lot of them have got sales on at the moment to make room for this year's new stock.

I too would recommend trying some on in an actual shop!

Mine was a Maggie Sottero brand, but this was 14yrs ago. I tried it on instore, and then found it on ebay. The woman selling it had planned to re-sell and made no alternations at all. It was 1/3 of the new price.

I did buy the supposed same design from a Chinese supplier initially. The site appeared to be in the US, but it was only later it was clear it wasn't. They used the same pics from the real dresses websites. I had a seamstress measure me but the thing that arrived was horrendous. The top half was 3 size too big, the bottom half too small with a large seam around the waist. Masses of tulle netting which the real dress doesn't have and a cheap, polyester. Dreadful.

The only Chinese supplier I've heard positive things about is JJ house, but personally, I'd still avoid.

Thanks both. Will get hunting for some shops! I have found somewhere that custom makes them to order but it’s approx a 6 month lead time so if anything went wrong I would be short of time to find an alternative: they do have a shop though:

I am in London so I will find some shops to visit. It’s all very daunting ❤️🤣but exciting

Maybe not want you want at all, but there are some charity shops which sell new and 2nd hand gowns too.

I agree go to a few shops my eldest got married last year, and she was overwhelmed with pictures so she made a couple of appointments at bridal shops, was really a lovely experience Dd is quite introverted but didn't feel overwhelmed.
