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!!

Thanks adcarter41. I think I'm gonna try them and see how it goes. I'm using it for my ttd so it doesn't have to be perfect I just wanted it to look like the same dress. I'll keep everyone update on how it works out.

I sent this dress to Monica Bridal via DHgate tonight and I am so impressed with the prompt reply!  I got an email via DHgate (by setting up an acct and sending the message through there) immediately during their business hours.  Then I was on tonight and spoke to them via chat and I can't wait to order the dress! 

The pic I provided is a Davids Bridal Dress, which I suspect was actually "inspired by" the 2nd pic which is a current Maggie Sottero style.

The Maggie version is more "elegant" I think with the detail at the waist, whereas the David's version looks a little more casual and tropical to me, so I chose that one for my sample to provide Monicas Bridal. 

 

She said she is adding it to her store so I imagine I should beable to order soon, she quoted me 120 including shipping...can't wait to order it!

Ok, so I showed the dress I am planning on ordering in the post above.  I originally was going to chose this one from Landys Bridal (another Maggie from 2009) but I worry about the waist line being too high.  I am a full figured girl and really need to definition at the waist.  I've tried that actual Davids Bridal dress on (post above) and it looked nice.  I'm worried the Maggie in this post is too high of a waist...empire waists with a flowy bottom make me look pregnant. 

 

What do you all think? Maggie SD5211.jpg

 

 

Oddly I actually have a dress already that I got from a friend.  I really like the dress BUT it is too small sad.gif  I am in the process of losing weight and it MIGHT fit or could be altered to fit but I think I'll pay an arm and a leg to take the dress out.  Also, thought I really like the dress a ton, it doesn't see "beachy" to me.  I will keep it as a back up just incase my "overseas knock off" dress isn't up to par.  Anybody know how difficult it is to let a dress out or add gussets...we are probably talking 2 dress sizes too small in the ribcage/back/bust area sad.gif  Waist isn't too bad, maybe a size or a 1/2 size...would guess I would lose enough weight for the waist.

I am so bummed. I got the dress today and is it not what I expected. The back side is really awkward. The seam is not at the center, but rather skewed to the right side. It makes the back look so bad. The skirt is not sewn in, but rather attached as if it were still not finished. There are some minor stains, but that is not important because you can't notice it. The only way I can wear that dress down the isle is with a veil and I was not even considering it. I was so excited about the dress and now I am so sad to have to start dress-shopping again...

thank you! I will ask for extra support to be built in.  I hadn't really thought about that as I just assumed I would wear bridal type undergarnments like a long line bra or something that would add its own support.

 

 

LADIES: because of the heat with a tropical destination wedding, did you guys NOT wear a long line bra or slip or anything under your dress?

 

thanks!!

      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!
