Tea Length Dress on Ebay (£79)...

Gorgeous! Buy it! Did Kharv have this dress?

EDIT: Oh hang on, just looked at the listing and saw it will be coming from China. How much time have you got before the wedding? Perhaps you could get in touch with Kharv and ask her where she got hers?

I don't know? Did she?

*Looks about for Kharv*

Is it a copy then?

The first dress I got is a copy of an Angela Faccenda dress, it's lovely, but the 4 times I've tried it on it's scared me as, even with hoop, it's very difficult to walk in!

I love the top half (the skirt looks to have quite a harsh bottom edge but that might be me). I'm not sure I'd risk it though. Unless in your head you can deal with possibly writing off the £79?

Have you tried honeypie boutique?

Ooh hello! No, mine was different but had similarities.

There are good reviews, but it says 40-52 WORKING days, which I'd say is cutting it close, leaving little room for last minute fixes should anything go wrong. Try looking on here: http://www.forherandforhim.com. They have several dresses which when translated to GBP, would be in your price range. I just learned about this website. It's backed by several wedding websites; they provide free worldwide shipping; and I think they are a US company. Personally, within your time frame, I'd rather work with a reputable corporate outfit than a lone person in China.

Cross posted!

Yes, I wasn't overly keen on them as only one had the sleeves I wanted, but not the right back.

I love a couple of these Allfordresses, but I'm scared to order as they're so much and also done in China. (So a 6wk wait).

Link won't work..?.

Kharvo had the dress that this one is based on.

Doesnt seem too bad, although it doesn't include the petticoat and all that jazz so you may end up spending double the money on getting all the bits to go with it.

Phase Eight have some lovely tea length dresses at the mo, around the £150 mark...

Just seen you want sleeves...my ideas don't help much!

It's ok, thanks anyway! My day dress is strapless and wanted different style top.

I'll look at that site now MAG, thank you ?

these dresses are lovely i wore the sleeveless version for my evening reception there really well made and comfortable

Have you tried etsy? There are lots of dressmakers on there x

I've just ordered one from eBay, made in London here is the item number **** I can seem to post a link

Ill let you know what it's like when it arrives

As so how to I add image from iPad?

HTH

Yep, in Liverpool. I guess I could look in there couldn't I. I'd feel nicer in a new dress though I think. Man, I feel like I'm being dead fussy and without the money to be!

The BHS ones look okay actually. I wonder if you could put a bigger petticoat under to bulk them out abit at the bottom?

Yes, let us know Who-Me, checked their shop, but nothing really that suits ☹️

*Trots off to Etsy*

Whats your budget?

Originally?

Maybe £400, now realistically, £150 (or £200 if I cancel our magician ️?️)

What about VoH or Honeypie boutique?

Hmm, have you looked at HoneyPie boutique? Vivian of Holloway? Joanne Fleming does Tea Lengths, normally they are made to measure so are quite dear but I got mine as a sample so it was much cheaper, you could contact her and find out?

I couldn't see anything I *loved* on HPB, and I thought JF was expensive??

I'll check Vivien out now, thanks gals, appreciate it. I'm going Google stir crazy...

Don't know it they have anything in budget but there is Cutting Edge brides as well.

Ahhhh??!!

What did you bloody show me them for!!!

?

?

Out of budget by £200. but absolutely fabulous and totally what I'm after!!

Call them and have a chat, lorna is really nice she may have samples or be able to suggest something - think they offer a hitched discount too

I've just emailed them then (crying poverty ?) how embarrassing ha!

Fingers crossed, aye.

Atleast I'm only after the second cheapest!

Similar in style to the Cutting Edge brides one, but a bit cheaper? https://www.marstonpowerequipment.com/

Ah, you've a good eye, Nicky. I looked at that one for a while last week. Wasn't keen on the plain zip back though.

*Is a fussy bugger*

Have you heard of http://www.forherandforhim.com/little-white-dress_c87.html? Those are some of their shorter white wedding dresses. I just saw them profiled on Style Me Pretty. They seem reputable, and the US prices translate to within your budget. Provide free worldwide shipping as well. And their timeframe seems to be 10-14 days.

Hi, This is gorgeous. You will look stunning. Such a great price too.

I have little fascinators with veils if you need one.

Saw this on Ebay - its a UK seller (bristol) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/wedding-dress-bridal-gown-short-60s-50s-1950s-vintage-c268-lace-tea-length-new-/280790115258?pt=UK_Wedding_Dresses&hash=item41606523ba - slightly over budget at £228........

Thank for replies...

Couldn't see what I'm looking for on the the him Ad her website.

I don't think I'll be able to stretch to a fascinator too, but I'll have a look

Sian, I love that and one of her others, but it is a Chinese seller. She's based in the Wirral and ships from China. It says 7-8wks on delivery on that ad too

Sorry didnt see that

God i want to go dress shopping again! Might have to prance around in my dress at home when i get in from work.

Hahaha you should...give your OH the fright of his life!!? Thanks for looking and pasting the links, I've already ruled out most of them though unfortunately...

1st and 3rd are China dresses, 2nd one a size 16, 4th one I'm already watching and the 5th and 6th ones are strapless. Burt thank you anyway!!

No worries, gives me something to do. I thought number 1 was ok as postage is 4-7 days. Oh well, was just a thought.

Love the tea length style dresses, esp the 4th one - its so cute!

How about this?
