    was reasonable enough I felt

    Lightinthebox.com, or various other companies on ebay will make a dress to your measurements and chosen colour and design. I got one last year, €50 including delivery.

    Amazing, a dressmaker friend of mine studied the dress for 2 hours because she said she had never seen one as well made and wanted to copy some of their techniques. It was stunning and so well made. The colour I wanted was out of stock so they told me to send them examples from the internet of the colour I wanted and they would make it, such good service! :) If anyone wants the seller's name PM me, I have to send a link because their name is weird and can't find it on ebay if you just search it.

    I wouldnt recommend lightinthebox, they come from China and are poorly made, I altered one and the hem of the dress was so crooked, it was about 3 inches shorter on one side than the other, also, I altered 3 blue bridesmaid dresses, they were supposed to be the same dress but they were noticebly different shades of blue and seams were puckered especially around the zip.

    I ordered 4 dresses from them for my bridesmaids, they were extremely well made and just what I ordered. One had to be altered due to weight loss closer to the wedding and the seamstress commented on how well they were made.
    I would highly recommend them.
