AndreeaMarsh Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Is the mermaid bridal gown appropriate for chubby ladies? no,as far as i know...mermaid gowns are tight..they are highlighting your body silhouette..so i think it`s not appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alib28 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I got my dress yesterday!! Sorry, I am very excited... The main reason I am posting though is that I just wanted to offer a recommendation for Emily Bridal which is where I bought my dress from. The dress itself was amazing but even if I hadn't found 'the one' there I would still be recommending that people visit because the service was amazing. It was Saturday and obviously busy but I never felt rushed, there didn't seem to be a limit on how many dresses I could try on (when I had narrowed it down to two they were happy to let me try them both on again), and I was made to feel really really special. Also I am a curvy 14 and even though a couple of the samples were a bit too small for me I was not made to feel like this was a problem. My 'entourage' was treated really well too, with coffee etc. When I found the one I liked they spent ages making suggestions of how I could personalise it a bit. The changing area was really lovely, and private. I had another appointment in another bridal shop straight after and so I decided to not commit to the dress until I had been in another shop, I went to the other shop and found nothing even remotely as amazing so I went back to Emily and they even let me try on the dress again, despite having other people to see to, and gave me and my ladies champagne to celebrate! I felt amazing the whole time I was there, and the whole experience was exactly what you would hope for for this special day. And no, I don't work for them and I'm not related to them! A place I certainly won't be recommending to people is Pronuptia - tried on quite a few dresses here but the samples were dirty and torn (and seemed quite out of date too), the changing area was a tiny curtained-off booth and they kept bringing people through the area where I was trying dresses on. I felt rushed here, I know it was a Saturday and its a busy time of year, but buying a wedding dress is a massive decision, and I won't be inclined to buy one anywhere I felt rushed. A friend of mine has had a bad experience with them after ordering her dress from there and yesterday really did nothing to change my mind about them. Good luck to everyone looking for their dress!

j.orpen Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm looking for a wedding dress to hire, does anyone know of any shops that provide this instead of buying a dress? We are getting married 18 months earlier than expected due to family circumstances so our budget is very tight and can't afford to buy an expensive dress. I have looked at several dresses from debenhams etc which have been nice and reasonable money, however I'm just wondering if I could get a dress that's a bit more special by hiring it rather than buying? Any help is appreciated as this is all a lot quicker than I anticipated and don't really know where to start at the moment! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53 Deluxe Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hiya My friend runs a bridal shop and they are having a massive sale at Tapton Hall i think its on the 15th of April. The dresses are going to be really cheap, like from £150. They are all ex samples but it might mean you can more for your money and you could always sell it on afterwards?!

Thanks Not exactly a hire dress company - but they are very reasonable and can get a made to measure dress for you in 4-6 weeks after submitting your measurements - they also have ex-display/sample dresses in their Ebay shop Bespoke collection of dresses, but with just a few I found it hard to chose! http://www.eclecticenglishbridal.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schong2111 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is the mermaid bridal gown appropriate for chubby ladies? I say wear any dress you want. If you want a mermaid dress, then you try out a mermaid dress, If you feel confident and happy in it then thats all that matters. no,as far as i know...mermaid gowns are tight..they are highlighting your body silhouette..so i think it`s not appropriate Don't let people like the above commenter decide what is and isn't appropriate, its you who will be wearing the dress at the end of the day, who gives a stuff about what anyone else thinks?

claiireee Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Just wondering if you're able to go and 'look' in wedding dress shops without an appointment. I'm not ready to try any on, but I wouldn't mind a browse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alib28 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A lot of shops are really funny about that sort of thing, I think you would still be best off ringing in advance to say you just want to browse - stupid I know! You are also more likely to be able to walk in and browse on a weekday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
