Hand made Bridesmaid dresses

I am getting my bridesmaid dresses made as I couldn't find anything in the shops and anything I did find would have needed alteration for at least one of my girls.

My dresses are £150 each inclusive of everything (fabric, fittings). I would recommend the designer completely but she is based in Essex (http://www.julieellmore.co.uk/) so might be a bit far for you.

Well myself and quite a few others here are using 'The Birmingham Lady' aka Hyuinkitty to make their BM dresses as she can custom make and is very reasonably priced!

She has an ebay shop but with me I sent her a picture of the LK Bennett dress I found and she is copying it for a third of the price and in the colour that I want....I have only just ordered them so don't have anything to flash but I know others Hitchers do have some pics....

My sis had her bridesmaids dresses made and they cost her £160 each, just to give you a rough idea. I'm selling my daughters if anyone is interested (put it on the for sale section) xx

I've had mine made, (along with my own) and they are all ever so slightly different, just slight different details with the neckline, cut, straps etc. to compliment the shape and age of each of my bridesmaids.

But I got them made back in Serbia as it was a lot cheaper.

Thanks Ladies, sounds like getting a dress made and shop prices are about the same. I think i'll keep an eye out for a dressmaker in my area and then i can ask them some questions.

We're planning to get married next September, so have some time to research a dressmaker.

My dress was from the birmingham dress lady - and one her designs, made to measure so I knew it would be right.

Here is a quick flash of me wearing it:
