Custom Dress Anyone??

Vivian, on October 7, 2019 at 11:08 PM Posted in Planning 1 27
Hello everyone I am posting a draft sketch of what I MIGHT wear on my wedding day lol. Is there anyone else getting a custom dress? Or buying a dress and having it altered to match their personality?? Lol with me I LOVE so many different elements on different dresses so I felt the best way to go was to have a dress made...... what's your thoughts???

    That’s super cool! Very pretty. I thought about doing this. I decided against it because I ended up finding what I wanted at David’s. How is the process going? The only dress I had custom made was my bridal shower dress. It was made out of my moms dress locally by a seamstress.

    Monique I am loving the process at first u take a quiz on what u like n what you dont like and based on that they give u a generated sketch which is what I posted. I have a phone consultant coming up in November where I can go over the looks and dresses I uploaded on my profile on their site!! But it's funny u said u found a dress at David's because I have an appt with them this upcoming Saturday. I am nervous because it will be my very 1st time trying on wedding dresses.

    The first time trying them on is so fun! Definitely keep your mind open to anything. The dress I chose was definitely not what I figured I would Choose.

    I am keeping my eyes n heart open because I have been reading ALOT on this app from not getting a dress to early/buyer's remorse and of course my fav ladies falling for dresses that werent even on their radar lol so I am keeping an open mind. Everything is just unreal monique to be honest lol in a couple of days I will be trying on the most important dress in my life lol

    I was initially going to have a dress made by Darius Cordell. But then I decided against that plan and everything involved in the process. Mainly because the dress I had in mind wouldn’t fit the venue we selected.

    So instead I purchased a dress online from a bridal salon in Atlanta that was much more simple and fit the venue and wedding style. The funny thing is that I bought it without trying it on. Well actually... I hadn’t tried on ANY dresses and hadn’t gone dress shopping. However I’m in the minority because the dress isn’t a really big deal to me (the decor, details and overall experience is MORE important to me). But I know my body and I know what I like. So the dress is perfect!

    Best wishes on your custom dress making progress !!

    I'm going through Anomalie too! I feel the same about the MIGHT be wearing part lol. I should have it paid off by the end of the month so they can ship it. I'm excited but nervous at the same time.

    I love your dress jasmine by the way!! I have even gotten that far lol I posted my generated sketch my consultation isnt until November to speak with someone. I am more afraid of "buyer's remorse " lol I see A LOT of ladies on here buy dresses and change their minds or put a deposit down and change their mind and lose that money. Weddings are expensive as is so I want to be SURE about the dress portion lol

    Thank you!

    I'm afraid I'll have buyers remorse too. If Anomalie stays true to what they say, you get a full refund if you don't like it. If I end up not liking it, I better see my refund lol and then I'll just use that money to buy another one. I hate thinking like that but I'm also just preparing for the worst.

    Hey sexypoodle!! My actual fav dress designer is Pnina Tornai and in order to get a custom dress from her through Kleinfeld it's a $500 deposit along with a $10,000 dress budget. So for me a dress isnt all that serious for me at all lol. I am ok with spending some money for a dress but NOT thousands of dollars. Decor and FOOD are my biggest things lol I LOVE food and so does my FH I have attached 2 pnina tornai dresses also pics of the venue and a lobster roll lol that my FH wants to have at the wedding. And a possible table setting lol

    Yes ma'am! I love this platform. It's been a tremendous help! I've actually seen a couple of other Anomalie brides on here as well. She loved her dress. I'm just hoping we will too! Please by all means, let me know how it goes for you!

    She makes nice dresses. But I definitely know I wouldn’t spend $10,000 on a dress either. I’ve been married before, so I know the realities when it comes to the wedding dress... how long it’s worn that day and what occurs with it afterward. None of that is worth $10K Lol!

    I really like the first dress you posted... that’s pretty. And the rest of your ideas look like fun

    Thank you that means Alot coming from a person that has been married before. Yes that's what is listed on the Kleinfeld site honey lol $500 deposit and a $10,000 dress budget. I just watched her bridal trunk show the other day and I loved it. Like I said before those dresses I posted that are apart of her "LOVE" collection aren't more than $2500 if that I forgot how much those dresses are. However she has beautiful affordable dresses in her collection. My FMIL just got married last month and she had her dress made by anomalie I dont kno how much she spent BUT if I had to guess it wasnt more than $1200.
