Huiyunkitty aka Birmingham Lady; she's only gone and done it again!!!

I'm definately going to her for my dresses. Just out of interest, has anyone on here had a chiffon dress from her?

Yes, I'm sure Fluffymalone (thanks again BTW for the recommendation ?) had chiffon ones x

They look great! What a bargain too. Are you going to get them adjusted to fit perfectly, or are you going to leave that extra inch for all the food the bridesmaids will eat in the evening? Did it take her long to make?

I need to go an see this lady soon, she's only a 20minute journey but so lazy to drive!

Also Mrs_T2B did you go and visit her or was it an order over the phone?

Wow love the colour

My mum is very good self taught seamstress so can take them in if needs be the week before. When I said 'give an inch or two' I mean't literally a teeny bit but this could be down to my bridesmaids shape...I'm not a dressmaker so not 100% accurate on sizing ?

No it didn't take long to make (see my original post for time scales), and I ordered them from her eBay shop and only had contact with her over email. I took a gamble and it 100% paid off and saved me hundreds of £'s! Hope this helps ?

Thank you 3d Jewellery x

Oh i'm soo taking a trip to Birmingham with BM's in tow

to get some dresses of this talented lady!!!

OMG!!!! I'm so excited! These are the exact ones and the same colour that I've picked!! I'm just about to send her the email with the sizing!!! Tbh I was nervous but now you've put me right at ease!! Thanks so much!! Can I ask are they lined? And what's the lace up back like? X

Im emailing her now to have mine made. Am a bit worried as all of the ones I have seen of yours are long dresses and mine are going to be tea length. Any one had any shorter dresses from her?

I'm taking my bridesmaids there on Saturday ? I hope they will end up in tea length & not full length dresses so I will report back! Thanks for the flashes, really encouraging. Getting excited now!!!

Thanks ladies ?

Mrs Lewis mine didn't have a lace up back, just a concealed zip, and yes they are lined. ?

Im ordering my dresses this weekend via ebay from this lady

im havng the dreses with the two thick straps in choc brown

They're lovely.

I ordered mine this week - going for chiffon knee length with the flowers up one shoulder. Cant wait now!

Can I ask if you sent her a deposit first with the sizes as she hasn't asked for one.

Was that really the price you paid for them?? Would you say that they're any worse quality than ones that you'd order from a 'proper' bridal shop?

Does she do any style?

Sorry for all the questions [:I]

They are good quality and good price- i got 3 for just under £100. but mine took 11 weeks to get to me as she completly messed up the order. this was instead of the quoted 5 weeks.

also she is off in feb- so if you want to order, bear that in mind

the quality is good- good heavy lining

Oh sammy_wheeler she never told me that

hope she gets my order sorted - just means ive got longer to wait i guess pfftt

also were wedding date twins

Ohh wedding date twin! hi!!

yeh i think the quality of the dresses are great. and im so glad i ordered early. part of me would recommend her the other part says dont lol

ohh so how are you doing? 6 months on sunday!!!

Does she make anything?? I know what I want but its not on her site

Oh my goodness so it is ! Arghh lol

well ive still got the girls dresses to order and get a dress fr my FG

i need to get the rest of the lads measured up for their suits - we've picked and paid lol

need to finalse things with the decorations and the venue , as were no longer having a sit down meal ( ive been ill so had to cut things down due to finances )

oh yes and i suppose the most important is to get a dress - not been dress shopping at all , as ive been il having panic attacks and they've been restriciting me from going out but thats another story lol

how about you ?

katie x

Yeh she does pompey

If you send her a message on eBay she usually gets back to you pretty quickly but I'm sure she will do other styles!

Yes they really were £32.99 each and £5.99 postage each. I would highly recommend her; she's brilliant and for that price you really can't grumble.

Yeh things ok with me! just need: to sort out invites (my uncle is making them, he is a printer) so i just need to tell him what i want. am going to be sending them out in march ish time.

picking up wedding rings in the morn

the only thing i asked hubby2be to do was sort the suits- of course he hasnt done it yet- so will be hassling to do them- but we know we are hiring from moss bros so thats a start lol

getting my dress altered in march- i got that march 2010 lol

then its just best man, usher and my dad gifts and i think that about it

we arent having a sit down meal either. we are getting married at 4pm and having a buffett,

Us too lol

we were originally getting married at 2 and having the full works

but we've pushed it back to 4pm ourselves now

are you providing some food for your day guests - as our buffet isnt being served till 9 so were going to have to provide something

how long did your dress take to order ?

I ordered my first one on 17 Nov and it came Dec 24. The other two I ordered on Jan 2 and they came this Tuesday x

My plan at the moment is:

4pm cermoney

4.30 photos, and poker table, giant jenga and giant connect4. in this time guests can get drinks from bar. also we are having a sweet table (homemade) dj playing background music

6.30 maybe 7- evening guest arrive (we are only having about 7 extra)

7ish speeches, cutting the cake (we are having one tier, and cupcakes)

7.30 open buffet

8.30 first dance and then open dance floor

12 dj leaves and guests leave- or go to other bar if they are staying

we are having a civil cermoney in a hotel- it has 25 rooms, so far 15 of them are booked by our guests so we should have the whole hotel.

re my dress- there is a story there-! well i saw an ad in the local paper from a hospice who had been donated a brand new designer dress, in order to get the hospice more well known. and i brought it!- it was £250! so i am taking it to a dress makers in march, i took it to her in july last year- but have been on a diet since so it may need alterating

Thats a good story to tell the grandkids lol

thats lovely !

your day sounds amazing , we have 70 day guests , and the evening doesnt kick off till 7-7:730 when we add add 120 guests to the evening lol - although i know not everyone will turn up

whats your dress like ?

Hi yes I did.

She is blooming amazing!!

Just give make sure you give yourself plenty of time as since I put my original post on here she is one hell of a busy lady lol

Heres my adult bridesmaids (sorry about quality of photo though)

This is my younger sis in hers but I added a bit to much on to the measurements!?

Thanks Sammy - i'll have to wait a while because one of my BMs (my sister) is having a baby!! Due in May so I may get the other after that lol

Yep she will make dresses from photo's too

Im just waiting for my junior brdiesmaids to be made as we speak

I sent her this photo and asked for them in purple

BTW Mrs t2b they are just fab!!

The colour is so rich. Great dress!!

So glad your pleased!!
