Anyone ever bought... ITS ARRIVED!

I got my Adult bridesmaid dresses from lightinthebox and they are beautiful. Really well made, beautiful colours, you can pick whatever colour you want and for an extra £6 you can get the dresses made to measure. They arrive really quickly (for me they did anyway) and are packaged really well. I can show you some pictures if you would like, good luck!

Ooo pics would be fantastic!

I need to get 6 bridesmaid dresses so was looking at this site!

oohhh could i possibly see pics too?? i just found an absolute replica of my chosen BM dress on there, the shops want £160 for it and its £50 on the site!! x

Here you go! The flash has made them look quite red but I can assure you they are claret and blue, exactly what I wanted!This is what I bought http://www.lightinthebox.com/A-line-Strapless-Floor-length-Bridesmaid--Wedding-Party-Dress--HSX103-_p22530.html

Lainey I am also buying 6 dresses from here in March- could you tell what you paid in shipping costs?

Thanks

Wow Lainey that is a beautiful dress!!! this is the one im after: https://www.lightinthebox.com/en/p/A-line-Strapless-Asymmetrical-Chiffon-Bridesmaid--Wedding-Party-Dress--HSX218-_p24731.html in Daffodil.

Did you order a dress size off the site or did you get the made to measure ones? im not sure which to get tbh. Im wondering whether to get a size bigger than needed for the girls and get them altered, there doesnt seem to be much in the measurements for the sizes, about an inch at most!

My sister is the carbon copy of me (poor cow!!!) so im going to trial order one for her but just not sure which size to order, she is a 14 in clothing normally - any advice? x

Wow that looks lovely!

thanks so much for your help...

I think mine is gonna end up from DHGate.. looks like this...

shouldn't be too hard to make do you reckon??

Lainey - did u have to pay customs charges???

Laurasj - I think for 3 dresses i paid around £20 and for the 1st trial dress i paid £20 so if i was you id make sure i bought them all together!

mrsmould-to-be - Thank you! The one you like is gorgeous, i say go for it! I got my dresses made to measure, it cost me an extra £6 which is very reasonable, and all the dresses fit my girls perfectly so I know that they actually listened!

I ordered my best friends dress first, I just wanted to make sure it was nice, and I got hers made to measure, and it fitted her perfect so i would suggest you do the same if you can manage the extra £6.

meggles - thank you! I have never heard of DHgate so i cant really help you out with that, but ive seen people order that same dress off lightinthebox and it has come out lovely so im sure it will be fine! Good luck!

Casinogirl- Hiya, no I didnt have to pay any custom charge as they clearly stated that it was a gift (hahaha) on the box, thank god!

Mrsmould to be - I looked at your link and this dress is absolutely perfect, just what I was looking for!

I've been looking for similar dresses but there's nothing in lilac. I've ordered a couple from various catalogues but with 5 bridesmaids with very differing bust sizes (& fussy sisters!) I haven't found any that are the right colour & material & price.

Lainey, I'm most worried about the fabric. Yours say they are made of chiffon. Is the material soft and actually chiffon? Did you order a fabric sample to check your colours before you got them made?

Thanks for raising this question meggles

Blackkat - Hiya. Yes the material is very soft and it is Chiffon. The girls say they are very light and are very confortable. No I didnt order a fabric sample, I decided to just order one dress first to see what it was like and the colour was perfect aswell as the dress. They are very well made and look like they cost alot of money. I couldnt reccomend them enough, hope this helps!

Thanks Laineywhu - ?

Hey ladies- cheers for that info

Think i will go for the dress- Like you say i'll order just one before ordering the rest- seeing as postage is free!

All i need now is the BM's to pull their fingers out their bums and get measured!

Interesting - thought i'd take a look at this website, and this is the dress that i like the look of. having a fairly informal do (plus i'll be 41 when i get married) so really wanted something quite simple.

i'm wary though - i would prefer to try on first and see how it looks, you know how some things look great on models, but not so good on you? i'm pretty petite, 5'3 and a UK size 10, so would be tempted to get it custom made....

any suggestions?

I went for it and ordered one of my girls dresses through DHgate- woman has said she's making it already! I'll let you knw how it goes- fingers crossed!

Quick update...

I ordered my dress to be hand made to custom size on Thursday and It's already been shipped! So excited!

x

Wowsers!! That;s blinkin fast!

Fingers crossed!! I'm a "China" bride so have every faith you'll be a lucky one too! ?

Well ladies it arrived!

Mega fast too! Ordered it last thursday and it took a week!

It is Amazingly well made and the quality is fantastic- however not all good news...

She managed to make the sash in the wrong material and the colour is not really ivory more of a pale yellow which i am not happy with. However after a long heated discussion (stating that id eventually be ordering 4 more so get your act together!) she has agreed to make another in colours matching a picture i found and sending it all for free! Don't even have to send the old one back! Result

Lets hope this one is better!

Good to hear that its well made & even though its a pain that it wasn't perfect first time they seem to respond to your request well. Don't forget to post pics when you get it back!!

Finally got round to posting a pic!

Spoke to the lady today and my new dress should be finished inthe right colours and materials tomorrow so fingers crossed should be here by end of the week... Here's the old one...

shows how lovely it is but the one below kind of represents the colours a bit more! It's supposed to be ivory white and champagne whereas i got a pale yellow and what looks like a pair of tights around it! teeheehee

If anyone's still bothered about this long thread! I got a pic form the woman making my dress today- Much better!

Not cheeky at all... This one cost me about £50 including free delivery and was made to custom size and delivered in a week via TNT

I'm ordering three more and as i'm buying in bulk they'll be about 45 each with free delivery.

I say another seller doing them for £22 but decxided to go with this on as she had more feedback-

hope this helps!

Just a word of warning re customs charges, they don't always come through straight away!! My mum ordered some items fom outside europe and she was sent a bill for customs charges about 6months later! The item was only about £30 and her charges were about £18!

Check out the goverment website on charging although it is almost impossible to work out how much the charges will be from it!

xx

Almost forgot im loving the dresses above and what a bargin!!!!!!! I'm very tempted to follow suit!

The new dress is much better! ? So pretty!
