Babyonline shipped my dress yesterday without changing the sash/belt, which I'm OK about, am happy to go buy one I like and just change it myself. The dress showed up today, yes one day via DHL which I thought was pretty impressive. However they made the dress with the wrong measurements!! Instead of a 32 bust they did a 36 so the top is swimming on me. The tag has the bust size as 36 and my heart stopped in case I had typed the wrong size but I went and checked my order and it was Babyonline who got it wrong. I've sent them a mail but I don't expect to hear from them until tomorrow morning. Overall for the price the dress was made well. However besides the WAY too large bust, I don't think the dress was made proportionally. The thighs are super tight, man was it a struggle to get it on, LOL, but the stomach area was very loose. Maybe it's my body!! There's loose stitching and beads coming loose, but honestly you'd have to be inspecting it up close to see, nothing that would bother me for pictures. I also thought it was weird how they made the corset back, I don't think it's low enough but maybe it's just me. I was expecting it to come down low enough to cover my bum so if any measurements were off the corset back would allow be to tighten up. The dress as it is will not be good for me, just alone because of the bust, but will wait and see Babyonline's response tomorrow. I'm definitely not telling anyone not to go with them, as I said there are good points to the dress, but am waiting to see the customer service tomorrow after the mistake is on their end. Will keep you updated!

hi again, is this white or ivory? Because it was sized down once already, do you think it would be possible to size down further or not or would I loose the shape?

I adore the texture of this dress! It's so beautiful. Congrats!

Have been getting a string of Vistaprint emails lately with links to offers so sign up now ladies BEFORE you need to order!

Thank you :-)

For shoes and free returns, also check www.endless.com I also got wedges from Victoria's Secrets. I have to show my fiance all your comments to prove to him I am "normal" by packing and arrnaging clothes already, LOL!

ROFL, you are too funny! I started moving "clothes for Mexico" into one of the guest rooms closet. Yup it's official, I am going insane. When I retire I'm starting my own business in Mexico ..... fashion clothes and shoes for rent to foreign brides. I reckon I'm on to something!!

So many 11-11-11 brides on here! Bummed I couldn't get that date at our resort! But anyways, don't stress too much, keep close to this forum, it will help you write your "To Do" list, and trust me we are all feeling the same!

Laughing reading this because I am happy I am not the only one thinking like this!! I've been lying in bed at night going through clothes in my head and picking the outfits that need the minimum amount of shoes to pack, LOL how sad am I??!! Am only packing evening clothes that will go with silver or gold dress shoes, and am now going to start on the "day" clothes and casual stuff. I;m away for 20 days so this will be hard!! So glas swim wear doesn't take up much space. Would be having nightmares if this were a 3 week WINTER trip!!

That makes at least 3 of us then as we fly 6 weeks from today as well!! Can't believe how quick it is sneaking up.

Will check that out, thanks!

Who is the make of this dress?

Tori I was in India a few years ago and bought a bunch as gifts, these were some leftovers I had from that. I'm short a few now though!

I think once the belt is straighened and moved higher (under bust line for empire waist) it will add that splash of bling and look fab!

Thanks! I think they may have already shipped the dress but I emailed them a picture of a sash I had in mind in case they can change. If not I will but something relatively cheap on Etsy and remove the one that is on it, that one just doesnt go with the dress at all! Once I receive the dress I will have a friend take pictures of me in it and will post them here and will give feedback on the quality and shipping time. It's been 6 weeks since I placed the order so depending on how fast it gets here you need to allow at least a full 2 months, and I would suggest more in case you want to make changes to the dress.

I would encourage you to ask them to remove the sash. If it bugs you now, it will always bug you. @lleow3, I would disagree with you about the catering to the consumer being "very nice of them". Businesses need to understand their clientele. When a business wants to attract customers from a different market, the business needs to understand their customers desires and needs. This is why American brides are flocking abroad for their weddings and their dresses. If China stops catering to the whims of American brides, I'm sure another market will emerge to attract that business.

LOL, our "To Do" lists are almost identical! For teeth whitening are you going to your dentist or using strips from the Crest strips? I planned on the strips but now am wondering if I'll call the dentist to get professional whitening.

We have already told both sets of parents that when we get our professional pictures we will be making them photobooks as a keepsake. We also plan on getting a picture of each family made into a canvas portrait. For my parents I got them each a personalized wedding photo frame (for a pic after wedding). Also got both mum's their wedding jewely. Got the parents personalized OOT bags and added some extras other guests don't have (personalized t-shirts and such). From this forum I got an idea from another bride for a personalized poem for MIL that I am having framed. Oh and on the day itself we will pay for moms to have their hair and makeup done.

So I finally got the updated pictures from Babyonline! Overall I really like it and think they did a good job. I do however HATE the belt/sash, but for the price I'm not sure I could really expect any more. What do you girls think?

Ah thank you. Yup, gotta love Vistaprint. Just noticed your wedding date - so soon! We are getting married at the Barcelo Maya Palace as well, and arrive November 6th. I think I am going to be a "wedding stalker" on the run up to my own wedding, can't wait to view some others, LOL!

Careful ---- Vistaprint gets addictive, LOL!

Once you place one order you should start getting plenty of emails with offers after that! Good luck!

I can't get to Hotmail from my work network so I will check when I get home. The only thing is I think the expire, they are only good for that day, I think anyways. When you go to their main page, do you not have an option for free products? They always every day have free tshirts and pens.

I never paid for any products, they were all free and I just paid for shipping. I get emails from Vistaprint almost daily, so I would wait until all the items I wanted were free that day and then order one of each pay for shipping, go back and order one more of each and place that order and only pay for shipping. They are smart enough though to ship just one package instead of the many separate orders! You'll also get links for free uploads, so when I got that I had the save the date mangnets and uploaded my pown pictures. We got all our STD magnets and postcards and return address labels for free, just paid shipping,

My status was set to "shipped" but when I contacted Babyonline they assured me they still had it and sent me pics. A week ago I asked them to remove a row of beading that wasn't supposed to be there and it would take 1-2 days, every day I get an email saying they will send tomorrow. It's been almost 6 weeks now since I placed the order and I am anxious to get the final pics and get it shipped. Anyways, drop them a mail and ask if they still have it and if so to send you pictures.

Wow you guys were affected by the JetBlue Monday cancellations too?! It sucked at the time but now I'm looking at it like, hey an extra night in paradise! You are flying in October so you get to say "we are leaving next month"!! I can't believe I fast the time is going, it's crazy! I'm based out it Hopkinton, MA.
