@erinmc I just tried on similar cuts too so I knew what I wanted (actually it wasn't what I originally wanted but when I tried on dresses the shape suited me best) I then chose a dress in that shape with elements I liked (I loved embroidery on dresses) and lucky for me the gamble paid off as I love my dress too

My dress had embroidery but it was on a heavy satin rather than over the organza like your dress has, Ava Bridal did an awesome job on all their embroidery work (as my mum and MILs had embroidery included in their dresses or accessories too). It might be worth sending a pic to them and asking. They respond quickly and I found they were honest when I asked them if dresses were possible to make too

Love your dress Rawalter especially the bling - the did an awesome job

No worries I couldn't find a good detailed review on Ava when I was looking (except for eBay and a few comments in passing on wedding forums) so I figured I would make a detailed review to help out the next person searching for details on them Hopefully by word of mouth we can all get beautiful dresses from good companies without the stress then

@Rawalter (sorry if this comes up twice for some reason I keep getting my posts eaten) Thank you I was so impressed with the quality of the embroidery and beading on the dress which is why I decided to post so many pics in my review, from a distance it just didn't do the work they did justice I can't wait to see it when it comes in, I am sure the measurements will be ok, we just figured measure the best we could from the pics they provided and hope for the best! You would think now I have my dress I wouldn't be as excited about seeing others dresses but I think I am more excited/anxious as I still as hoping for a good outcome on all the people that have posted

My post got eaten - it may still appear later once the moderators have seen it. But if it doesnt this link http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/my-ava-bridal-replica-dress-is-on-its-way-pics-incl#post-3039025 will show pics of the dress and has a complete review (Now fingers crossed this one doesnt disappear hahaha)

Ok sorry it has taken a while but as my FI has been on holidays i havent had time to upload photos without a chance of him walking in I ordered my dress from Ava Bridal (their website thou they also have an eBay store too). It is a dress inspired by the Maggie Sottero Dynasty (which i was told on another site was a 2010 style) Ok without further ado - the inspiration: And my dress: (this is with a petticoat underneath - the 2nd time i tried it on it all sat better - this first time thou it was a good 35C and i wanted to get out of the dress quick smart and didnt realise the waist was bunched up a little hahaha) Overall i am quite happy we also ordered the MOB, MOG and another dress from the site that all turned out quite well. I have posted them on Weddingbee (along with a lot of close up shots of the details on my dress) so if anyone is interested i can send the link to that too...

@rawalter I did the same thing and when it said "on board with driver" I kept refreshing the page every few mins to see when it was delivered (as it was going to my parents house) hope it gets here soon... And I really should post a review on here too for my dress

*sigh* waiting is so hard. If they run to schedule I should have my dresses from Ava Bridal in about 3 weeks (and I have been waiting about 3 weeks already) Soooooo far away sorry just thought I'd complain... @rawalter looks like they have done a great job on your dress please post more photos of you in it when you get it I swear I am addicted to seeing replica dresses now

Sorry I tried looking up reviews for this site (which I am guessing you have too ) and nothing appears... Not sure if that is good thou as they have NOTHING no negative or positive - from what has been said earlier in this thread that is more likely to indicate a scam site. Dressilyme and jasminesbridalshop as you would have read have a very good rep on here

Oh I should have added we ordered the MOB, MOG and my bro's gf's dresses too. People interested in seeing pics of them when they come thru too or is there a separate thread for BM/other replica dresses? (I am new to this site and pretty much only know this thread hahaha)

I ordered the dresses yesterday from Ava Bridal. They emailed me through a few queries today - I had a few custom wraps and jackets for MOG and I think I may have confused them with my colour instructions but we are all back on track now and they have started production... I will post as soon as I have any news or photos Peso excited but also scared *fingers crossed*

Hey guys, I have been lurking here a while trying to read all the posts I am going to be ordering my dress from Ava Bridal on Sunday, from their website, though they do have 2 shops on Ebay too with good ratings. I did order some test jackets from them - one lace and the other satin and they both turned out well. Here's a copy of pics: what we ordered: What we got: And the lace one, What we ordered: and what we got: Sorry for all the pics Anyone got any "STOP don't order from them!!!" stories?? If not i'll be sure to post a review on them once my dress comes in... My only concern for the jackets was it took 7 weeks from order to completion - which i know is ages but i have ages to the wedding so i am not too fussed on that as long as they do a good job. As you can see both my mum and myself are plus sized and they got our jackets perfect to our measurements so i just hope for the same with the dress Thanks - and keep posting the pics guys i love seeing all the pretty replica dresses

Apparently my last response got eaten I agree with PPs the 2nd is my fav too

Ooooh 2 is definitely pretty!! what a gorgeous dress
