Hi, ladies! I’ve been reading your posts for about 2 months, and I’m excited to join in the conversation.

When my fiance and I got engaged the first time, I found a Maggie Sottero dress that I fell head over satin-heels for. That was 4 years ago and the dress is no longer in production.

(Allison, by Maggie Sottero; originally $679 per the boutique I talked to in 2010)

Through my journey of trying on dresses and reading your posts (the pictures have been so helpful!), I’ve determined the dress I wanted 4 years ago is truly the dress I’m meant for. This is where I’m stuck.

Going with a custom designer means I can get the dress in a different fabric (I’m not a huge fan of satin), but I’m worried about trading off the quality of the gown. 

Any advice or recommendations are greatly appreciated! If you have Etsy recommendations/warnings, experience with ordering replica Maggies, ordering a completely different fabric (I’m toying with the idea of champagne-colored organza), I welcome it all.

Thank you for your time, ladies!

Jasmine’s Bridal Shop has numerous threads around here, and you’ll find some very awesomely-made dresses!  They are numbered (with roman numerals), so if you search for them you will find them for sure!

Thank you! Most (all?) of the dresses I’ve seen in those threads have been mermaid/fit n’ flare with incredible trains, so I wasn’t sure if that was like a specialty or if it’s just the style.
