Wow that's gorgeous! I love it! Good price too.
P.S. I can relate - just got off work and had to hop on Weddingbee before hitting the hay. :)
Wow, that dress is gorgeous! If I had the body to pull it off, I would buy it.
I've considered getting my dress custom made on Etsy but I'm a little uneasy about it.
I've been considering having one custom made through etsy as well, but like you said, I'm a little uneasy too!
I've heard both good and bad about Etsy, and the general consensus comes down to waht seller you go with, but I still haven't found anything I *love* enough to take the plunge, or so to speak.
@the OP that's a cute dress :)
I decided to have my dress custom made through etsy! I will update the bee on how the process goes! I had too hard of a time finding a dress that was modest yet still beautiful!
Hopefully this will work out!
I have since found out that this dress is actually made by a company called Coniefox and is not handmade by this unethical Etsy seller.
I apolgize for posting incorrect information.
Ugh. I had a feeling of that because the dress (and many of the same pictures) was actually listed on another Etsy page. Do you know if this is a knock-off gown? I can't stop thinking about it! It's so beautiful.
Can you PM me with more information?
ladies, just want to let you know.. I saw the same dress from a Hong Kong auction site: http://hk.f1.page.auctions.yahoo.com/hk/auction/1124580268?u=florencecheng222
If you convert the HKD to USD, actually it is the same as the one on etsy, so I suspect that they are the same seller (very likely)... and someone asked the seller if the she has a store/ showroom, she said no and she got all the products directly from a factory. She said that her products are mainly for exporting to overseas.
I can say 99% sure that the factory she means is located in China.
Hope this info is useful to you.
@missmouse29: If you and CaitMarae are interested in custom dresses, but are worried about Etsy, you could always do what I'm doing--which is finding a regular seamstress (in my case, a historical corset and costume maker, but that was my preference based on the sort of dress I want) and work with her to come up with the perfect design. You can go for fittings and see the dress as it's being made, and basically have total control over the process. And it can be quite reasonable in price, depending on who you go with and the sort of dress you want and the materials it incorporates and so on. There's no big-name/store mark-up! The only costs are materials and labor. I'm really psyched about the process. I found the woman who will make my dress by contacting the local Theatrical Wardrobe Union. You could try looking for your local garment workers' union and go from there, or check with friends to see if they have recommendations, or just cold call from the yellow pages to local seamstresses and see if the work they've done is up to snuff for you!
Sorry to blather and get off topic, I'm just really excited about the process and I LOVE seeing really personalized touches in weddings, and I know everybody's crazy for DIY these days but few women seem to be turning towards custom dresses, which makes me a bit sad!
I second what veganglam said, I found a dressmaker that used to work in a factory that made wedding dresses, so she has lots of experience. She said the dearest part usually, is all the embellishments/embroidery/swarovski crystals etc. My dress is quite simple, so it should take uner four weeks. We're buying fabric in Feb, then the process starts at the beginning of March, leaving plenty of time for adjustments as necessary.
Thanks for the suggestion, ladies. I don't know if working with a dressmaker is an option for me, though. I'm in school so I move 9 hours away in the summer and will be moving from this dead area next year. I don't think I have the time or resources to work with one.
Is it very time intensive? If I did go this route, I would have to work with someone not in my area. Are you working with someone in your immediate area?
That dress is not their dress! I make wedding gowns on Etsy and I have had a request for this dress and contacted the actual designer. This shop is a china based wholesaler,, I have a convo from them admitting it. They make cheap knock offs, I don't see how they still have a shop on Etsy and why they are not closed down?. The dress was made by a designer named Ting and she has sent me photos of the dress for reference in the dress I am making for my client.
