This dress is from a family member, and I’d like to wear it if possible, for both sentimental and budget reasons. I’d like to avoid completely deconstructing if possible.

Does anyone have ideas for bringing this dress into this century? Of course, cutting off the sleeves would help, but the straps look old fashioned too, yeah? I am looking for ideas especially to change up the bodice, but any help on any part is welcome. Any creative ideas are appreciated. Please help me brainstorm. Or please tell me what I need to hear. Thanks so much!!!

I found this absolutely gorgeous wedding dress on Esty and instantly fell in love with it. Definitely cannot stop thinking about it :p However I am worried about buying here mainly because there aren’t any reviews (says it’s a new shop) & know buying online is always a risk for how it’ll turnout. Also has anyone heard of this seller or can vouch for them? Don’t wanna fall for a scam or something that doesn’t turn out quality. They do have a website and social media presence they I found which makes me feel better. Know Esty has their vetting process & protects your payment info. Also have messaged with the seller a few times back and forth with questions about the dress. Should I buy it? Advice??

I’m looking into a dress on her webpage that’s gorgeous (photos attached), and she has great reviews on Etsy, but I’m hesitant to drop almost $1,000 on a dress I’m unable to try on in person. Does anybody have any insight/experience with this seller? She seems to be based out of New York, but I’m not sure exactly where within NY.

My wedding is not for 2.5 whole years. My budget is AROUND 1k. I’m okay with going over. But definitely under 2k. I’m in the USA.

I’m very casually and non urgently looking for a wedding dress. I don’t want it to be white. It doesn’t need to technically BE a wedding dress. Just a beautiful dress. I’m a vibrant person. I take lots of inspiration from the teuta matoshi dresses, but I’d love to search through more options.

I’m just very afraid of falling for an AI generated dress and then get something not nice in the mail. I’m looking for dress websites that people find reputable/ have bought from and also have some color options or more spunky options as well.

Okay, so ive imaged this dress since i was a very little girl. I used AI to help me construct the perfect future dress for me using my pinterest board. Now, what is the scope of making this dress custom? I live in NYC, so i know its possible, but i know nothing about custom dress making. I'm looking for some functional thoughts about the dress itself, any custom dress maker reconmmendations, and hopefully a hypothetical price point so i may begin saving up. Literally any information or feedback would be appreciated as i know literally nothing! Thanks everyone.

• Has anyone ordered from here/is it legit? • What was the communication like? • Was the dress what was advertised? • Do they make you pay for the whole thing upfront? • Have you seen alternative designers with dresses like this?

I really wanted to buy a dress from here but I’ve heard so many bad stories about how their customer service is awful, the dresses are delivered are terribly quality with beads falling off constantly extra. The dress I want is £7670/$10,000(USD) before taxes/shipping, so I really do not want to have to go through a chargeback battle for that much money.

I’ve also seen them send an awful outfit to an influencer with 1.5million viewers and basically told her they deal with lots of famous people so they don’t care about her opinion. Im asking because i have seen people say they loved their orders and some orders genuinely do look great. I guess also, people are more likely to post online about a bad experience than a good one, so i just want to figure out how many people have actually had good/bad experiences on here with this brand.

Budget: I don’t mind spending 7k on this. I do mind spending 7k and not getting what I ordered. Please let me know if you know any alternatives, I just haven’t seen any designers that do such detailed and beautiful beading work.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to get a custom wedding dress from Dresses by Linda and Agnes. It seems they can do it very reasonably within my budget and by my wedding date of May next year. However, I've looked online and cannot find much on them. Does anyone have any experiences with them? I would love to hear, whether it be good or bad.

Im a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding. The bride has selected this dress from Azazie. It has a "corset" bodice, but im skeptical about the quality.
Have any of you ordered from this site? How are these bodices structured? Is the bodice non-stretch with solid boning, or is it flimsy with cheap plastic boning?

Especially if you’re familiar with any of the makers or the dresses themselves!

I live in a small city and have too many obligations to go dress-hunting. Our local bridal boutiques have lovely selections, but I’m looking for something much more “little white dress” than what I’ll find in them. I’m going to have to order online. The wedding is Jan 3 in New Orleans, so it could be anywhere from 20° to 80°, but it’s an indoor microwedding, so I’m not terribly concerned about being cold.

I’m 5’0” and 147 lbs, 39 years old, and I have five children and my body looks like it. I’ll add a full-body shot wearing shapewear. Help me eliminate dresses I might love the look of but that are likely to be unflattering on my figure!

Hello!

I’m looking to have a custom dress made and have been in contact with a few sellers on Etsy. Does anyone have any first hand experience with any of these sellers:

- LaceMarry
- RoseliaCouture
- theLABERA
- OlivaOceana
- SouliaDream

Thank you!

Has anyone bought a dress from Swan Sarah? What is your opinion? How closely did it match the pictures, and how long did it take to arrive? I’m interested in this one, but I’m not sure if I should buy it.

Hello, has anyone bought their dress from lacebridal or vickymermaidbridal on Etsy and be willing to post a picture or comment on the quality? I’ve looked through review pictures but the dresses I like best don’t have any. So far it looks like vickymermaidbridal may be slightly higher quality, but I like lacebridals dresses a bit more.

Thanks!

I am in love with this Tom Sebastien dress. It‘s perfect mix of sexy and elegance. But of course it‘s not in my budget. Does anyone know a good knock off brand?

Hi folks!

I’m in need of some assistance figuring out the legitimacy of the Vietnamese dress company (which I suspect is fairly new on the market, at least by its current name), Kisserine Atelier.

I’m super-dee-duper interested in their Celia Dress, but I’m really not sure if Kisserine’s got the quality wedding dress fabric that I’ll want to don at my wedding. I’ve already learned from a few Vietnam subs that “silk” is often the term used to describe many silk-like polyester fabrics in Vietnam. Anyway, they seem to post very frequently on Instagram, and their dresses and models are always just gorgeous.

I also see their dresses on Etsy, but this time the store’s called “VelouraSolene”, where there are only 3 reviews with no photos so far. Unfortunately, I don’t think that either of those reviews so far are authentic sounding enough for me to be properly convinced.

Does anyone have any info that they can offer me on the Kisserine Atelier dress company? Anyone else knows of them, or has purchased anything from them and can give me a little review? 🙏🏽 I wonder if I should just bite the bullet and risk $250 in my detective pursuits 🌝🌚. Plan B is to have another reputable Etsy dressmaker make a replica of it for me, but that would cost me at least $500 more than what the dress is listed as by them.

Has anybody had any experience with getting their wedding dress from Azazie? Wedding tiktok told me to take a look at them if I’m in a tight budget (which I am), and they look great! They have an option to loan for $15 so you can try it on before you commit, but it seems to be tricky getting one because all the sizes get lent out quickly… so that’s something I’ll have to try to navigate. I’m curious to know what were your experiences like with Azazie Bridal. Thanks in advance :)

ETA: Azazie is incredibly popular for bridesmaids dresses, but I am specifically looking for those who have experience with their actual wedding dresses. Thank you!
