    OK so I finally send my measurements and money to Milly bridal shop . I was able to chat with one of the representitive and she said the dress will be made in 65 Days ... A long time !! My wedding is March 6 2010 and she assured me i will have it by feb 10. I am a little freaked out. another thing is that I thought that once i send the payment i was done .. and my dress was on its way to make... well she told me before that she was going to send me some questions by e-mail and then I had to answered and then she was going to process it!! which means its taking up more days.. Has any of you Hives, ordered from them before... Please let me know how it goes, and the steps you did ... It will make me feel better because in this moment I am freaking out !!

    Hi!
    I haven't gotten too deep into dress searching yet but i can tell you that if I decide to go the custom route Milly Bridal is at the top of the list!
    If you go to their site and customer testimonials there are many real brides that post about their experiences.

    I don't think you should worry that they are asking you questions, I would worry if they didn't and just assume a lot of the things. From what I undrestand they regularly send you progress pictures of YOUR dress to make sure you are satisfied.

    I think that you have a pretty good chance you will get your dress before Feb 10 because Chinese New Year is February 14 this year and everything shuts down for CNY. So I imagine they will be working alot of OT beforehand to get orders out the door.

    Best of Luck!

    I have talked to a few brides that have done this and it sounds very typical. Did you send in all your measurements? Afterwards they will send you an email asking your preferences for color, materials, lace, beading, etc. Then after that they start making the pattern. 65 days is not a long time at all, it's a shorter time then most bridal shop take when ordering a dress, but in your situation it WOULD make me nervous to be so close to the big day.  How have you been chatting with the representative? email? live chat? No matter what they ask you via email, I'd be sure to put in bold letters the date of your wedding and when you need the dress and maybe even scoot the wedding date up a week or two so they think it's earlier...

     

    I'm sure it will all work out, but good luck and try not to worry too much!

    hey Phannie Im getting the Monique luo style ch 515. I am totally in love with that dress. The first time i saw it was when my sister went to go try her dress on in july , this lady tried it on and that was love at first sight. I didnt think i was going to get married anytime soon since i wasnt engaged...but a month later i got engaged and my now fiance was like ok we are getting married in March :-)  so i tried it on .... and it fit just great...When i saw the price i knew it was going to be impossible so  i searched to see if someone was selling it ... but the sizes were tooo small... but then i heard of millys bridal and thats it i am confident that the dress is going to be as beautiful. they are great on e-mailing me. so far so good.

    @2010bride2bee-- I just got my pattern work done today, they send me some pictures of the test dress and OMG its looking Beautiful... i am so excited, they are doing exactly what i want. So far the length of the tail is perfect. Cant wait to see the bead work.

    @Blessedchild-- like i told 2010bride2bee my test dress is made.. now they will start on the details and beads. they are so on point. At first I was a little nervous, but its working out well. Go for it its worth the money and wait. Also make sure you order it a little more ahead then me. My dress gets here about 3 weeks before the wedding which is ok to get it fixed but i wish i would of have ordered it sooner. Good luck let me know what you do :-)

    Glad to hear this... I ordered mine 1/25 and have been worried about how long it is going to take, can you please PM some pics? and the total time it took to get your dress from ordering to having it at your house?

    Thanks!
