Based on the reviews I have read on here, I decided to proceed with Landy.. Good communication so far, though I haven't ordererd my dress yet, I've inquired about a number of things and have received speedy responses. I chose to get in touch with them because a user on here said they were very compliant with the process (pictures, communication, material) and because I am looking for good lace, someone mentioned Landy has pretty good quality and will send samples upon request. I also feel more comfortable ordering from a company who posts pictures of their own creations--in the "Landy Bridal Gown" link (I think they're original, anyway but I could be wrong: http://www.landybridal.com/hs4435-p4057.aspx f). But it seems as though it depends on what kind of dress you're looking into--different places apparently have different strong-points. Landy is lace, others produce better ruffules, fluff, flowyness, etc. I don't recall reading a bad review about Landy though.. perhaps only that they charge a little more than other sellers (because of higher quality.) I would also look into topspartner.
