Hello All,

I am the most indecisive bride when it comes to my wedding dress. I feel like there are a lot of beautiful dresses out there but there hasn't been one that fits my criteria or or my needs. Plus I'm curvy (not plus size) and with my small waist,big hips and round butt requires me to get a bigger dress that calls for a lot of alterations....$$$$ With that being said I saw on Etsy that there are custom dress makers/designers. Some of them look legit and the dresses are beautiful and others look like they copied pictures from the popular wedding designers and posted them as if it were their own work. After months of research and servral correspondence, I have found my seamstress. They have sent me fabric swatches and answered all my questions. So I guess my question is should I do it? I'm so so nervous like this is my wedding dress! I'm sure everyone agrees that this is like the most important dress that you'll wear in your life! Idk what to do I'm stressed help me out

    Hi there! What was the Etsy shop name? I saw the designer was “Portia” but didn’t see the shop info. Thanks!

    Sorry I didn't see this until now! The shop is TheodoraJames Smiley smile

    I DID actually end up ordering a custom Etsy dress in the end, but I am using PolinaIvanova. I haven't received the dress yet, but she was soooooo sweet and patient and helpful throughout the entire design process. I couldn't recommend her enough! And you can just SEE the super high quality craftsmanship from her and her team in the dresses and in the progress photos on their Instagram. They do incredible things with lace, if that's your thing.
