Custom dress Help

Hello there!

So, found my dream wedding dress four years ago but via an Asian website with the value of £300.00 sounds very reasonable but no idea how the quality will be at that price… too good to be true really. Called Linh’s Bridal. Not sure how legit it is.

Am based in England.

Might anyone know where to get a custom dress like this made? It’s not very difficult to make I’ve been told but really want nice material and also to stay in and around £700.00 budget.

Look forward to hearing if anyone might know anyone else that could do it!

Thanks!

A dress in this style, priced at £300 will be made out of horrible, cheap lining fabric which will NEVER drape or fit like this!

You’ve also been completely misinformed. This is a complex pattern due to the structure required to make it fit like this. It will require boning, lining, cutting on the bias etc. 25 years ago I paid £1300 to have my wedding dress made and it wasn’t as complex as this.

I would be very surprised if this is a real dress and not AI generated. There is a huge flare from the hips to the hem which would involve multiple seams. None to be seen. I am far from a bridal expert- I have made three in my entire life, but it doesn’t ring true to me.

This is a similar shape but different fabric on Wed2Be - https://www.wed2b.com/santal
Or look at outlet dresses - lots of bridal boutiques have these. Good luck!

That’s such a good point about the seams and AI. I hadn’t noticed!
