Exquisite02 did your mum get custom sizing or did she just go with there standard sizes?

Hi I have not been on this sight for almost a year but I realize I only seem to have reviewed one of the two dresses I received from babyonline.  I unfortunately did not take photos of my dress before the wedding and it is so long ago now that I don't know if babyonline's standards are the same now from looking on this forum they can be a bit hit and miss.  I was extremely happy with both dresses and wore both at my wedding. My only issues I remember are. 

1. I had to get the bustles done here but if I had done more research before ordering the dresses I would have asked them to do it (so don't know if this was an option) but I recommend asking for it if alterations are as expensive where you are as they are in Australia.

2. My second dress was a little long (2cm) but that could have been my mistake I was paranoid about it being too short.

3. Both dresses were a little loose on the wedding day which made the second dress uncomfortable after a couple of hours and I had to put the first dress back on. This was not there fault I lost about 5kg from stress in the 4 days before the wedding!

Exquisite02 did you mum get custom measurements or did she just go with a standard size?

Hi KKKK

DHgate and Babyonline are on holidays 28 Jan - 9 Feb They will do have some staff on but there is an approx 3 day delay in getting back to you instead of the usual 3 hours and I think babyonlines factories are closed, they are extending all their due dates by 3 weeks

Hi Beachy

They are all beautiful dresses I think the last is my favorite, but they are all lovely and you are the one wearing it so only you can choose.

Hi Beachy,

 I had the same problem as you and ordered 2 dresses as they were so cheap, I also thought 1 might come out better than the other. Now  think I think I have chosen my dress but I  don't know if I want to sell the other dress, keep it in case I change my mind again or wear one to the ceremony and the other to dinner. So I don't think I am any help but I think the tea length one sounds good for the dinner. Also have you tried on dresses in a similar shape and style to the dresses you like at DHgate, this might help you make up your mind

It took about 3 weeks to get my dress which felt like a lifetime but they have Chinese New Year holiday now so they say it will take about 5 weeks. I would listen to advice they give you because I had an evening dress made by them and asked that they put a split in it, they said they thought it would not hang nice and they were right, now I am having it altered so it does not have the split

I think the beads actually look better in real life than in the photos thy kind of disappear

Ok try again with pics. There is a crinoline underneath which I purchased from Babyonline also.

I think I am goin to have to get back to the photo thong when I have more time to play with it but this gives you some idear of the dress and beading. It has a huge bow on the back to.

Hi Ginger

Thanks for the advice, unfortunatley to late I did not post the pictures of the dress, my dress arrived today from Babyonline it is just that the other bride posted a picture of the dress I ordered. Lucky for me my dress arrived perfect and fits like a glove. I never saw the original dress onley the picture on line but I tryed on lots of dresses to see what shape I liked. So I dont know if the dress is exactley like the original but it does look just like the picture. If I can workout how to do pictures I will try to put some up.

Hello everyone!  I'm looking at a bunch of different places to do my dress.  I have looked at dressilyme, babyonline, monica bridal, topbridaldress, and duosheng to get quotes and all that good stuff.  I'm wanting the Maggie Sottero "Rachael", but I want off the shoulder straps added like on the Private Label by G 1391. I was looking through the thread and liked what I saw for duosheng and Monica Bridal.  Monica Bridal and Babyonline said they could do the straps.  Dressilyme said they could do it, but they'd have to change the neckline which I'm fine with.  They said they could do it for $213.19 excluding shipping.  We talked about the beading, and at first they said they couldn't do it.  Then when I told them I know it can't be 100% but I would like it as close as possible, they said they could get it at about 89%.  Monica bridal said they could do it for about $147.  Babyonline could do it for $150, but I've read here that Monica bridal does a better job at beading.  I'm not really sure who to go with.  Monica Bridal said they'd send me a picture of beading they've done that resembles my dress, but after the holiday is over (which is fine because I'm in no rush).  All I've seen on duosheng here lately is their communication is very much lacking so that makes me nervous.  The two big things I'm worried about is the beading and the big bow on the backside which is my favorite.  I'll add pictures and hope they show up!  

 

 

 

Please forgive my lack of "photoshop" skills. LOL That's the idea I want atleast! Anyways, who do you think I should go with?

 

 

Hi I am new to this thread and wish I found it ages ago. I am expecting this dress from Babyonline tomorrow and dont think I asked enough questions before placing my order so very nervous about what I will get.
