I have been having a browse, I love vintage style with a bit of difference and I have known for a long time that I do not want a big dress, It's not very me, I am a bit of a girly hippy! I have fallen in love with this dress:
The only problem is that it comes with a WHOPPING price tag and if I save now, I might be able to get it in 2014! It is Ellie from Halfpenny London, It's either going to be £1500 or £2500. The first is if it is a vintage dress and the latter if it is the Halfpenny Collection, which I assume it is!!
Can anyone justify this? My initial aim was to go to shops and have the whole bridal experience with my Mum, find THE dress and then look for it on Ebay instead. Nice and cheap but I feel deflated when ever I see other dresses as they just do not match up to this one! It's completely me!
I have enquired at a couple of dress makers as well, I have had a rough quote for work and fabric on top of that which comes to £1150, all adjustments and fittings included. Does anyone know of any, preferably in London or the Midlands, I would rather find the right seamstress so I draw the line at Scotland and further!
Has anyone had a dress made for them? Do you have any pictures? Was it what you wanted?
Now, we do not have a date set, just in around 2-3 years. We have had a bit of bad news in the family and will be having a huge engagement party as unfortunately a very special member of the family will not be able to attend the wedding. This has meant that we don't have to have the wedding sooner as we originally had thought, so can save for things for a bit longer should we need to.
I just need opinions and help, I am totally willing to save up, but I know my family will think I am completely barmy! (and so will i)
