Omg I got married almost a year ago and forgot how addicted I was to this thread.  I love seeing your replicas girls!  I was originally getting really swayed to use gianinar because of this thread, but went with a store bought in the end.  I love seeing the dresses come in on this thread  

 

Are people using them for their wedding dresses or TTD dresses mostly?

 

Big congrats to prettypigpig on her big day!

Jackie,

 

Thx! I used my dress as my wedding dress, TTD dress, and I gave it to the cleaning ladies at my resort!

Ladies,    I've been reading this thread for a little while and would like to say a giant thank you to everyone who posted reviews and pictures - it has been incredibly helpful in my decision to go ahead and purchase a dress.    My dilemma is which seller to go with. The original dress that I want is a Maggie Sottero - Bernadette. (here's how it looks: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=J1399)    I found two knock-offs, one at the asapbay store on ebay, one on Landy Bridal:    http://www.landybridal.com/romantic-ivory-halter-strap-lace-beaded-bridal-dress.html   http://cgi.ebay.com/Slinky-Lace-Satin-Mermaid-Wedding-Dress-Bridal-Gown-/360381374944?pt=Wedding_Dresses&hash=item53e86761e0#ht_6092wt_1039   Which store would you recommend I purchase from? Has anyone had this dress made before? The original has quite a lot of beading and I would definitely love to keep it that way but obviously realize that might not happen   Any suggestions/tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!

well, it is not like I will wear it again...and I don't think my future daughter would want to wear it.  Therefore, it is better to give it to someone who would love and wear it.

You are a very kind person, Prettypig, your husband is a lucky man! Congrats on your wedding, you were a lovely bride. Don´t you feel depressed now? I´m so sad it´s all over.. I waited my whole life for this day and  now it seems it only lasted for 5 seconds!!! hahahahahha

hi ladies, has anyone ordered a BM dress from china manufacturer?like millie or babyonline?i have a wedding to attend and thought it would be a great trial to to see the quality of the dresses that they make?the only thing is i need it by sept 1...

I've used Babyonline.  They made 1 of my dresses really quickly and got it to me within 2 weeks but that was because they'd made the initial dress out of the wrong material.  The last of my 4 dresses (indecisive much?) was supposed to be ready on 14th July but got sent on 25th, saying that, it appears that it will arrive later today (27th).  I'd suggest saying to them that you need it by 18th of next month latest and can they do that, that will then give you a couple of weeks wiggle room.  By the way, me and all of my friends are really impressed with the quality of the dresses although you have to be very (and I cannot stress this enough) specific, ie same material, crystals wherever, exact length, and don't be surprised if it arrives a tad large.  Good luck.
