I recently decided to wear a reception dress other than my wedding dress. I ordered my wedding dress with Milly bridal, and since I only have 3 months left before my wedding. It's not a good idea to order my reception dress with them, so I decided to order it with Dressilyme. I emailed them the inspiration picture and asked for a quote. But they replied saying they can't make this dress, I really feel a little disappointed. Do all of you have any suggestion of where can I get this dress made? I really love it and really want to wear it for my reception. Here is the dress.

why can't they make it?

Oh that's a beautiful dress KKyo.  I'm sorry they can't make it for you, but I wonder why they said that.   Even if you sent them pictures of the design up close?    I would ask them if you could show them close ups pics.  Do you have close ups of it?  Its seems as if they can make almost anything, so I'm rather shocked myself that they can't do it.

It's a gorgeous dress. I think it's the amount of sewing that dress will take to make. It looks like there's a ton of small strips of fabric sewed on in s floral pattern. Since that kind of sewing cannot be done by machine, it has to be hand done and that equals man hours. I think they can make it for you, but they may not want to.

Don't feel down! I would honestly be relieved that they told the truth that they could not replicate that gown. This will save you any heart ache down the road b/c they couldn't make it the way the original looks.

Ladies, you are right, this is a difficult dress to make. It's good dressilyme is being honest about this. I guess I will  have to find something else for my reception.

i had sent them just a dress like this,, and they told me the same.. i think its because of the fabric of the bottem of the dress.. well there are allot of dresses that look just like these.. try to choose another style ? i did as well.. you can look at la sposa/pronovias they do dresses like this.. good luck

hi there, i really agree with the ladies here, dressilyme was honest and thats a good thing. if you still want the dress from china i would try these companies:

www.landybridal.com

www.duosheng.cn

they are famos in german and australian forums and also made beautiful and good quality dresses!

you have to find out what fabric that dress has. is this an expensive brand?

I also agree that I'd be happy they were honest and didn't try to reproduce something they know they can't do. That was the proper way to handle this if they weren't confident in their ability to make a dress close enough to the inspiration dress. Sorry it didn't work out for you though.
