Hi girls! I am in LOVE with this Sottero & Midgley dress. (Not sure if the pictures will show up or not). I really want to have Gianinar remake it. What are your thoughts? Do you think they can get it close to this? I'm really stressing out so if you have ANY suggestions or experience with Gianinar please PM me. I'm not trying to be a topic stealer, I just need some help from those who have already done this.

 

THanks so much! Any help is appreciated! :)

Hi, i order my dress from dresillyme a month ago. It came this morning and i'm pretty happy with the result. This is the pictures from the web, dress design originally from Essense of Australia.

Ok because I had such a hard time finding info on buying a Chinese knock off I want to post a detailed review. This dress is gorgeous. Really well made. Great details, there are little beading details

Okay ladies, got it on, and it fits perfectly! Maybe needs a little tweaking around the bust...but nothing really! I will attach a few pictures of it, don't mind my lovely hair do!!

..based on that dress that KTJ posted above, and from what i have seen on this thread - i would say that Gianinar would do a pretty good job on the body of the dress, but i would worry that the jewelled straps may not come out great.

 

you could always embellish the straps after you get it though, or request more embellishment once they send you the proofs.

 

it is a GORGEOUS dress, good luck!!

Oh you girls are wonderful! Yes, that is the dress! I'm thinking of going through Gianinar. I'm NOT crafty or anything like that so I worry what will happen if I get it and the straps aren't great. Any suggestions? I just emailed them and sent them the link and pictures so I hope they reply. I am just in LOVE with this dress. I wanted an open back as well. I just can't justify $1600 (what it retails at).

Thanks so much! You're helping ease my anxiety. I'll see what they send and I'll keep you all posted! :)

Do you think they would do a good job?

I agree that the beading is the only part I would worry about. I assume a seamstress could come up with something but that's probably a lot of extra money. You always have the option of losing your deposit and not taking the dress too. If somehow it was me who ended up with the dress and I didn't like the straps, i'd look into some things like in the links below to just put a couple stitches in and hopefully cover the existing beading. It's definitely not as beautiful as the real thing and hopefully they'd do a good job but I think it might work if you're desperate. Haha. Good luck!

Ahhhh thanks girls! I'm definitely going to check out those links and see what I can do. I do know a great seamstress from my home town that might be able to make some magic!

Wendy, I can't find the dress ANYWHERE around me! UGH! I'm trying to find something comparable to get exact measurements. I just LOVE this dress and almost wish I wouldn't have found it because now I'm almost obsessing over it. Ahhh the "good" frustrations! :) I have searched for a used one but no luck so far....

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
