I'd recommend if you dont want a heavy dress, try taffeta or chiffon.  I found that as soon as I tried on dresses made of these,instead of satin, I was sold on it!!! It's so much lighter, and depending on the time of year of your wedding the last thing you want is a big heavy dress if its hot!

nice too see some more people from boston.....im from boston too

they don't do maggie sottero but they have loads of gorgeous dresses and you can take bits of one dress and put them on another if that makes sense.

I'm going wedding dress shopping a week from tomorrow, I'm so excited I can't wait!!!  I'll be very pleased if I find one for approx £495, I think thats very reasonable, especially it being custom made and all!!!!!!!!!

Grantham is not far from me, i'm in Boston. I think that is a fantastic price. Do you know if they have Maggie Sottero dresses there? I am totally in love with The Michelle dress and want to try it on!

lol i said the same about the weight

thats a good price coz altering can cost over £100

i still need mine altered but im waiting till closer the time coz i wanna lose more weight

been trying dresses on in grantham today and my god i didn't realalise how heavy weddding dresses are! my body is aching from the weight of the dresses! So i've decided i'm having a bead free dress! or one with hardly any beading. I found 2 that i really like and the woman in the shop said that because they make their own dresses she could combine the 2 for me and change the colours for me. So i can have a white satin fishtail dress with a decent length train, and a red sash around my natural waist. I won't need to have it altered as its made to measure. and she only wants £495 for it.

What do you think to the price? Personally i don't think its bad for a custom made dress.
