I would love to know what the dresses cost. I've worked in wardrobe departments at theatres, and some panto costumes cost thousands, but they are nowhere near as ornate as some of these dresses.

twirlymum · 15/02/2011 21:13

Ooh, West is West! I loved East is East!

FanjolinaJolie · 15/02/2011 21:14

The hours that are going into making the dresses plus all the personal attention like bein dressed on the day and travelling to the venue and transporting the dresses.

Must be £5K-£10k per dress would you think?

CaveMum · 15/02/2011 21:14

Made to order ballroom dresses cost a small fortune too and there is nowhere near as much fabric involves with the gypsy dresses, though perhaps just as many diamante stones!

lisad123isasnuttyasaboxoffrogs · 15/02/2011 21:16

I would say £10-£20k

sheeplikessleep · 15/02/2011 21:17

are there any gypsy women who prefer more 'subtle' dresses do you think?

ohmeohmy · 15/02/2011 21:17

the bodices never fit

EricNorthmansMistress · 15/02/2011 21:17

Google search suggests nearer £30k!

lisad123isasnuttyasaboxoffrogs · 15/02/2011 21:18

there was a lovely one, think it was last week

CaveMum · 15/02/2011 21:18

I suspect some hotels cancel because of previous experiences.

twirlymum · 15/02/2011 21:18

Lisa I would imagine so. The hours of work would push the cost right up. They also dress each bride on the day, so that must bump it up too.

sheeplikessleep · 15/02/2011 21:19

ooh yes lisa, i remember now.

CaveMum · 15/02/2011 21:19

I bet those traditional wagons cost a fair bit too!

ihavenewsockson · 15/02/2011 21:19

They are always ill-fitting on the bust.
Why is that?
They should be better fitted for those prices.

FanjolinaJolie · 15/02/2011 21:20

yes, the boobs always end up kind of spilling over.

sheeplikessleep · 15/02/2011 21:20

oh gawd, was just thinking 'meals on wheels'

expatinscotland · 15/02/2011 21:21

Ring his wife for lunch. Nice.

twirlymum · 15/02/2011 21:21

Why doesn't he stop somewhere for food???

lisad123isasnuttyasaboxoffrogs · 15/02/2011 21:21

have they not heard of sandwiches

FanjolinaJolie · 15/02/2011 21:21

Sling his bloody stew at him!

sheeplikessleep · 15/02/2011 21:21

wish i had spillover boobs

do you reckon the women have boob jobs? they always seem so well endowed.

CaveMum · 15/02/2011 21:21

The gypsy girls do seem to be extremely blessed in the boob department!!

[jealous]

FanjolinaJolie · 15/02/2011 21:22

the girls are really curvy but all real IMO

Tn0g · 15/02/2011 21:23

sheeplikessleep, I'm sure there are but that wouldn't make 'interesting' viewing.
