Ok I have just started properly looking for dresses for my wedding on 27th June 09.
Up until now I have looked in magazines and on the internet to get ideas of what styles I would like. I saw some Mori Lee and Jenny Packham ones that were my style and some other styles where I have only got the picture and not the designer.
This weekend just gone I stepped foot in bridal shops for the first time. One of these was a Mori Lee stockist. When the lady working at the shop was taking me through her samples, I didnt see any of the ones that I had seen in the magazines etc. I didnt really like many of the styles that the other shops had either. They all seem to be strapless corset styles which do absolutely nothing for me.
Right, so what I am wondering is how do you go about trying dresses on that you have only seen in magazines and are not in the shops? I dont want to order them from the shop because won't I then be obliged to buy it?? And there is no guarantee that it would like nice on me.
Also I have seen some of these styles on e bay (made in china?) is the best way to go about it? However, am dubious about getting them this way and what would I do after buying a dress on e bay that needed alterations and what if I got a size too small??
Any advice welcome please....
