Iv seen a dress I absolutely LOVE

Costs an absolute fortune.... but have very similar online, I'm wondering if anyone has any wedding shops online they've used or if they've ever used "hebeos"??
Don't want to buy what I think I love them it turns up no better then a bin bag!!

Maybe if you post a pic of the dress you love a clever MN could find you a legit similar style?

[quote HazelandChacha]Don’t do it! There are review sites from different countries slating it.

I can’t see a picture?

When I got married I found a dress I loved and then found a dressmaker who made a very similar dress for me at about half the price. In fact I loved the one she made more than the first one I'd seen. Is this an option for you? Don't assume that it will be more expensive to get it made.

Has it worked now??

A dress maker would be a brilliant option to be honest. Going to look into that x

This is a gorgeous dress. However , how tall are you and what shape ? Even if you have it made to measure if you are not the right size and shape for it, it wont work.

I'm a very similar size to the model an shape ! X

What make/designer is it and do you know the name of the dress?
Have you searched for X inspired wedding dress? to see if something similar comes up?

There are lots of talented people on Etsy, maybe you could find one near you so you could meet in person and see some of their work.

Have you looked on stillwhite? You can get sample dresses or new dresses (eg from postponed weddings) at a fraction of the original cost.

PurpleDaisies · 01/11/2021 15:49

What’s your budget? That sort of style is pretty popular at the moment.

YouveBeenLittUp · 01/11/2021 18:25

Have you checked Wed2be?
They are reasonably priced, not sure if they have something similar.

A lot of wedding dress shops now have off the rail dresses or regular sample sales so worth looking at those too depending on your budget.

Check our Chichi London. I wanted a new dress after having to postpone due to Covid - mine didn’t feel like mine anymore! Got a new dress for £159 from the bridal section, plus £140 for alterations and it’s a new dress honestly. Saved a fortune!

Aprilcherry04 · 02/11/2021 09:50

I think you should be able to get something very similar if you shop around.

grannypantss · 03/11/2021 05:53

Well I hope your all okay, not sure if your still following but I have got a dress !! Nothing in the slightest like I posted here either!!!!
Thank you all so much though x
