A hello and advice request.

Hi and welcome,

When I went to a dressmaker they said they wouldn't make a dress exactly the same but that if I took in different photos they would discuss how to bring different ideas together therefore creating a unique dress so could you perhaps do something like that?

I'd recommend going to try on dresses because what you think you love in a magazine quite often changes when you put different styles on and you might find you find another dress which is 'the one'.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Anyhelp is wonderful so thankyou for responding.

Trying on differing dresses as you metioned just to see what suits and what really i like and dislike in real life is a practical idea, as you mentioned i may find something i wouldnt have normally considered is perfect.

I think i will also still try to somehow find the designer of the one in the photo, though i like the idea of mixing differing things that suit me in to one unique dress.

Hi and welcome ?

congratulations on your engagement! i saw a picture of a dress in a wedding mag that i totally fell in love with, but when i went to try it on, it just wasn't right. the woman in my dress shop brought me a few other options she thought might suit me, and in the end i got one of those.

so i would do what purrfectgems has suggested - go and try a few dresses on. you might find that you suit something else better, or find another dream dress! plus it's fun! then, if you decide to get a dress made, you can take the best bits from each of the dresses you like.

let us know how you get on.

Can you scan the pic and post it on here?? We have all been viewing endless photos of dresses on website after website that someone may well recognise the designer..?

Definitely post a pic on here. Someone may recognise it, or, if we can't tell the designer, or if it's a dress that's no longer available, we might be able to suggest another dress that's similar.

Worth a try, anyway!

Posting the pic is a good idea, will take a few days though as i need to get it to a scanner. Thankyou everyone for your interest and advice its wonderfull,

Im sure you all know how overwhelming everything is when your newly engaged, does it calm down at all lol !

So many decisons and only 11 months to decide?
