Post all "Knock Off Wedding Dress" questions/comments here

Trivera - it was $116 with free shipping.  I tried it on, but my daughter (10) couldn't get the zipper past a tricky seam and I didn't want to risk breaking the zipper.  So as soon as I can find someone besides my fiance to zip it for me, I'll post pics of me in it.  In the meantime, here are a couple of pics of the dress hanging in my son's room (messy, sorry).

 

 

It obviously needs steamed/pressed, but it's made so well!

@MissJali - Thanks!  What a great pick me up to hear someone likes my dress!!  Have been feeling some dress regret in the past week - With only 9 days before the wedding - that is a scary feeling!! haha

 

Anyways, I bought my dress in the summer - I didn't have any upgrades, it came with the belt and the underskirt and I order a simple veil ($20) - In total, I believe it came to about $550 - Just so you know an approximate amount you'll be looking at!

 

Congratulations and Good Luck!!

I gave her these photos:

This was to be the top:

 

This to be the bottom:

 

All organza with a white sash and white flower

 

I asked if it was possible to make it a slight mermaid a little fitted through the hips, after some back and forth i decided to NOT do the fitted as I was nervous her making it without a picture AND i thought it would be better to be flowy for my underwater photoshoot.

 

I just recieved her photos on the almost finished dress (Missing flower)

 

Here they are:

 

As you can see it is defineately a MERMAID Style!!

 

Although i dont mind the dress at all- I am worried it will be too constricting for the underwater photo shoot?!

 

So do i ask her to fix it risking it what might happen to the quality or do i leave it as is?

 

So torn...

 

And for those of you who are wondering the dress cost $220 USD

 

 

Suggestions on what to do as well as anyother changes alterations I may be missing would be greatly apprecated!

 

Thanks all!

Here is an update to my last post!. I did ask the seamstress to take out the dress a little bit so it wasnt so "mermaid" and she has shipped me the dress, here it is:

Sorry for the photo quality they were taken on my blackberry! The dress is wrinkled from the shipping but you get the idea.

 

The dress fits like a glove ( a little big in the chest) but I will get it taken in.

 

 $220 plus $30shipping and  $20 duty = $270

 

The dress is made wonderfully,  it has boning and bra cups sewn in!

 

Very impresssed and happy!

Hello ladies,

did anyone of you try judysbridal.com? I'm about to order a dress but I cant find a single review about them! which is wired.. they have real pictures of the dresses they've tailored on their website. I really like the quality of what I see but I'm very worried. they quoted me 520$ for
san patrick arona http://www.bestbridalprices.com/images/pronovias/s2013/large/Arona.html my dream dress 

I alos was looking at ieieshop.com and aubridal.com both quoted me less, about 200$, but not as the quality of judy's bridal.

 

or play safe, pay some extra bucks and go for jasmine's bridal shop?
 

 

tell me what do you think?
