    Hello hive! I've just had a revelation that I thought I should share. Like thousands of brides before me, I was obsessed with the dress. I went to salon after salon looking for THE dress. I eventually found Maggie Sottero's Rhianna Royale at a whopping 1,200 price tag. I talked myself into making payments on it even though our wedding budget is 6,000 dollars and I am a poor college student. After months of payments, I still had'nt hit the 50% down order mark, and the second guessing began. Everyone sings the praises of Etsy for obvious reasons, so I thought I would do a search to see what they offered for wedding gowns. I have to admit, I was dissapointed with what it had to offer...until I saw it. THE dress. It was a beautiful hand-made dress that had a detachable bottom for the reception made of VINTAGE lace. The best part is. . . $500!

    I have been working with daniellemariedesigns for a month now, and she is just great. She has met every request with more than enough enthusiasm and skill. I would highly reccomend her. She was actually willing to hold my check and ship the dress she made to me just so I could try it on. 

    If you want a custom made dress, if you are on a budget, or if you just want the gradification of having a dress made by someone being paid a fair wage, go with daniellemariedesigns. You won't be disapointed.

    Yay! I'm glad you found THE dress. I'm curious... what happened with the first dress?

     Well, I ended up getting my money back. As sad as I felt about the whole situation, I cannot tell you how reassured I am to be able to talk to someone about every little nit-picky thing that I feel like changing or adding.

    Custom making a dress is a great way to go. I had a Jim Hjelm replica made. It turned out FABULOUS!!
