Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) of Landy Bridal??

Hhhmmm.... no personal experience myself I'm afraid but I think I'd be like you and a bit wary too.... there's a reason why they're so cheap and I believe in that old adage that "you get what you pay for"!

Not sure if their buy them all at once is a sales ploy but the material could vary if you didn't. If you've got six BMs do you not know someone who is handy with the sewing machine, or a local dressmaker, fashion student etc who, if you provided all the material, could run these up for you... probably for cheaper than the Landy ones!

Hi,

2 Hitchers have used Landy and both had a good experience from what I remember although please don't quote me. One called Nutsy but she hasn't been around much since her wedding and another that I can't for the life of me remember. The second hitcher although liked the dress decided not to wear it but that was due to deciding against the style instead of the quality.

Anyway I'll try and do a bit of searching for you.

This link mentions Landy and it was Ms T to Mrs B that got her dress but then choose another one - https://www.hitched.co.uk/Chat/forums/t/98747.aspx

and Nutsy has posted on this link - https://www.hitched.co.uk/Chat/forums/p/72367/728898.aspx.

If you want further information I have Nutsy's email so could email her for you and ask her to have a look on Hitched.

no personal experience but on another forum I use a few of the brides have got their wedding dresses from there and were very happy. I do think you could get dresses from the high street for that price though, and these aren't much more than that http://www.girlsofelegance.co.uk/

Thanks for your help girls!

PurrfectGems - thanks for the thread links they have proved most helpful!

Think I might go for it...although might wait a little while to see if anyone has had any ngative experiences, i just really want to be sure!

Thanks again and I will let you know what i decide and get some pics up when i FINALLY figure out how to do it!! (OH an IT technician so not really got an excuse have i?)

No problem, glad to have helped.

To put a picture up you need to have it saved on your computer and then click the 'insert media' button which looks like a film real when you are in the 'reply/post' section.

Or have the picture saved on flickr for example and just copy and paste.

Fingers crossed this will have worked!!

I would be having them to finish just on the knee....opinions?

ps. Cheers PurrfectGems I will be adding pics all the time now!!

Yeap it worked.

Love them. Fabric, colour, style love it all. The rose detail is so pretty as well.

Hi,

I got my dress from Landy and I was super impressed. The dress arrived before they said it would and although bundled up pretty small (and therefore a bit creased), the weight and finish was incredible given the price tag. Both mums were also very impressed. The fit was great (if slightly on the larger side, though I'd just ordered a straight size 10, not custom). I would say not to expect a £300 dress for £66 in terms of finish - e.g. my bodice had lace beading sewn onto it rather than each bead individually sewn on. However, the overall look is very similar to more expensive gowns and if it's a bargain you want, I'd recommend Landy! Good luck.

Oh, and you can see pics of my dress on a reasonably recent dress flash thread (I'm not sure how to find it, but if you trawl through the pages should be not too far away.)

Also, if you're really unsure, I would suggest getting one dress, as a sample and if you are happy with it, then order 6 more. That way it would cost you £66 extra, but it might be worth if for the peace of mind, and safer than ordering all 6 and not liking them. My dress came in about a month, so you would have plenty of time.

Final thing! Before I ordered my dress, I searched the internet pretty thoroughly and found some massive threads of people who had ordered from Landy. I didn't find a single negative response (though some more neutral) and found lots of pics of people's dresses from there. Maybe you could do the same? I can't remember the sites, but it's not too hard to search for.

That's stunning why don't you get one in a different colour to wear at a party so you can see the quality.

MrsWinwood2B, love your dress, found the pic on the dress flash thread so the OP can have a look

I really like the BM dress, might pinch the style for my BM's lol!
