For a bridal shoot I was doing. They sent white when I ordered ivory, and wouldn't fix it. I do not recommend ordering that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018395 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 15:05:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2018395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: oh that one is really pretty! and I think that's an asian site.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018392 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 15:03:03 +0000 Anagram 2018392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found this one, that could be tailored to knee length. But JJshouse....never heard of them. <a href="http://www.jjshouse.com/Empire-Sweetheart-Floor-Length-Chiffon-Chiffon-Maternity-Bridesmaid-Dress-With-Cascading-Ruffles-045022461-g22461" rel="nofollow">http://www.jjshouse.com/Empire-Sweetheart-Floor-Length-Chiffon-Chiffon-Maternity-Bridesmaid-Dress-With-Cascading-Ruffles-045022461-g22461</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018391 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 15:02:07 +0000 Anagram 2018391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I should add...the bride is (was?) Mormon, but not really practicing (I guess that makes it a "was". But her whole family will be in attendance, so she told us to think modest. Not sure if illusion necklines are okay? I'm going to message her and ask her. I don't think she'd care...not sure if her family would be offended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018380 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:55:34 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2018380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: You might need strapless...but I wonder if nude straps would work? It's worth seeing if a store near you has it and you could try it on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018377 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:54:05 +0000 Anagram 2018377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: That would might work....except for the illusion part at the top...seems like I'd still need strapless? But I'll explore the DB website....maybe one of their other empire waist dresses will work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018374 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:50:38 +0000 blackbird 2018374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try etsy before that. My friend ordered us bridesmaid dresses from one and she had to go in and alter the skirt herself. If you have any sewing skills at all, I would probably make myself something very simple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018363 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:44:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2018363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about this dress? (in the champagne color) It's a good price, too!<br /> <a href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_illusion-short-sleeve-mesh-dress-f15911_wedding-party-all-bridesmaid-dresses" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_illusion-short-sleeve-mesh-dress-f15911_wedding-party-all-bridesmaid-dresses</a></p> <p>It is not technically maternity, but it would ABSOLUTELY work. I wore a dress almost exactly like this (except it was sleeveless) when I was 32 weeks pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018360 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:42:56 +0000 sarac 2018360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it was hilarious. I wonder if he still has it? But not so funny at the time. This was some years back, so I imagine that the process has improved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018348 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:30:46 +0000 Anagram 2018348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChitownRo: I had to wear an infinity dress years ago in a wedding and could hardly find a plunging strapless bra to wear under it back then--and I was "only" a D at the time. Now, in pregnancy, I'm probably an H. I really need a whole lot of support and those infinity dresses with the thing fabric generally don't cut it for me in the bra area. </p> <p>But maybe I'll find something on Etsy, that's a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018343 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:27:47 +0000 ChitownRo 2018343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a custom dress through ebay (and posted about it on WB) and it went so smoothly. I just made sure to read lots of reviews. What about this vendor on etsy? The infinity dress seems to work for maternity. The vendor has champagne as a color option: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/99977993/coral-bridesmaids-dress-infinity?ref=sr_gallery_11&#038;ga_search_query=maternity+infinity+dress+champagne&#038;ga_order=most_relevant&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_view_type=gallery" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/99977993/coral-bridesmaids-dress-infinity?ref=sr_gallery_11&#038;ga_search_query=maternity+infinity+dress+champagne&#038;ga_order=most_relevant&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_view_type=gallery</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018339 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:15:28 +0000 Anagram 2018339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: haha...that would be insane--shamrock green! I remember back on Wedding bee, there were tons of brides who did the custom bridal dress sites, but I don't have any personal experience with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018328 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 14:08:41 +0000 sarac 2018328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother in law used one for a custom wedding tux. When he got it, it was shamrock green. No joke. They wouldn't refund his money, either. I'd really only use one of those sites if I had a lot of lead time in case it went bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-used-one-of-those-asian-custom-dress-websites#post-2018309 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 13:53:22 +0000 Anagram 2018309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a maternity bridesmaid dress in Champagne.....by March.....and I have a ton of requirements which is making it hard to find.</p> <p>-knee length (not shorter and not long)<br /> -no strapless or skinny straps<br /> -but not crew neck or high necks either<br /> -sleeves or sleeveless is fine, as long as a bra can be worn<br /> -maternity<br /> -champage (this is the hardest part. Am finding blush and gold and ivory but not a lot of champage).</p> <p>So, what about a custom dress? Any recommendations?? </p>
