lets flash-dresses you wanted &what you ended up with!!

I wanted and was >< close to buying:

papillon by jenny packham

but ended up getting:

a pic of me in isola by augusta jones (photo taken by eliza claire photography on my treasure the dress shoot!)

tina teaspoon, i can't see your dress - which one is it?

some lovely dresses on here.

I love seeing your dress Bluey - I remember your treasure the dress shoot... am I right in saying there was one of you on an escalator? Was fab.

Kooks, I love your dress, and theycallmelaura's.

This is the dress I always wanted and with me trying it on (I'm stood on a box, I'm a midget really!)

and this is the one I bought (don't have a photo of the model as it looks nothing like on the website as removed lace jacket, changed tosweetheart neckline and added a sash!)

My fittings

and me on the day

yes there was, but i can't find it on liz's blog - think it's on my facebook? initials LM, friends with raef, profile pic is one from the same shoot.

here's one of me on the tube!

They are awesome, Bluewater! Would love to have mine done in London (Terrriiiiiiii, pretty please?!).

Any excuse to flash ?

K i not gettting married for 19mths but this is what id like:

and what il end up with:

lololo

This is the first one I loved:

I then actually bought this one:

But after a fitting disaster ended up with this one which I ❤️

Can I ask who these dresses are by please? They are gorgeous. x

Its dizzie lizzie ss13 I think! And It was a bargain at only £375

Really?! Jeez! The one I tried on in Berketex Brides was soooo similar and was over my budget at £1375!!!

I'll go investigate cause I'd rather save and spend the money elsewhere.

Thank you!! xxx

Now that looks like a Hollywood Dreams dress to me!!! If that's what you love then you go get it girl! Can you tell i'm a Hollywood Dreams bride to be!??? lol

Haha bit out of my price range at *gulp* £2,700!!!!

Ditto!! But it's my only luxury! I know no other dress would have compared.

The dress i liked the most of all the 50+ i had tried on

And the dress i have bought even though it has completely blown my budget. I don't care because i just love it!!!!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh the dresssssss!!! is that the colour you having? its gorgeous! i want the pinky one! im actually being naughty and going to view one on my lunch break on tuesday

I'm having it in ivory, but to be honest there isn't a huge amount of difference in the shades.

I will warn you if you try it on you will want to buy it. I ooomed and aaarghed for about 3 weeks because of the price as i didn't feel i could justify spending that much money. But once i put it on again in another shop i just knew it was THE ONE!!!

This is the dress I was really close to ordering

Then I tried on this one and there was no choice to make as it was THE one, it is also completely different to anything I thought I would for but if you can't dress like princess on your wedding day when can you ?

I love these dress styles above; whereabouts did you see the last one in your line up?

Lisaloulou, who are those dresses by please? They are gorgeous.x

Aw, really? It's Maggie's Caprice, link here to the website in case the pic is missing for anyone else: /maggie-sottero?style=A3321

I love your dress Bluewater, it suits you so much, you look gorgeous.

Whoop! Love this thread!!

Ok, I started out wanting to make my own dress based on this:

THEN I freaked out about making my own dress, went browsing online and fell in love with this:

THHEEEEEENNN I went dress shopping, tried on 20-odd gowns and ended up in this (this is me in it):

Ah thank you!

The first one was my Forget Me Not and it was called Jennifer and comes with a lace bolero http://www.forgetmenotdesigns.co.uk/signature-collection/signature-home.html (I've just seen they do a dress called LouLouBelle too!!!!)

My dress was called Niceas from Rosa Clara, a Spanish company. Their website is hard to navigate and it looks nothing like it did on the website as it had a backwards lace jacket!

If it's lace dresses you like, this old thread might help https://www.hitched.co.uk/Chat/forums/t/36327.aspx?PageIndex=1

Wanted this, but noone stocked it locally:-

I liked too many but this what I had:

Thanks, I have heard the same about it.

I will have to go and have a look at your dress, love the detail, is it more A-line.

This is the dress I have but i have it in teal. I didnt even try anything else on because it just felt right

Surreylass beautiful dresses! I'm in love with the first one, who's it by??
