To buy a dress or have it made?

I'm in love with a dress from Pallas Couture but I really don't want to spend 8k plus on a dress I'll wear once. However, I'm worried if I get it made, it just won't look the same and I'm contemplating forking out the money to have the exact dress I want. Any great dressmakers in NSW who have made similar dresses ?

What to wear for my second wedding

I dont wish to wear a wedding dress - I'm trying to not choose to young style nor something with the older lace. My figure has changed from a model figure to now an apple due to early menopause. I have no idea what style to choose. my partner is wearing navy.

Help! I have an issue with my dress fitting. What do I do?

Hi there, My wedding dress is a strapless sweetheart neckline design that fits like a glove but I am quite concerned about the gapping at top bust area, especially when I team it up with a strapless push up bra. I am thin on top and god has given me very little in terms of cleavage. I have tried wearing the dress without a bra and the gapping is less as I'm able to tie the corset back tighter. However I look flat with no cleavage. What to do?

How far off from the wedding date should I start looking for dresses?

I have no idea when to start looking for my dream dress. I'm someone who is well organised and ideally I'm trying to have everything for the big day sorted 12 - 8 months prior to the date however I'm stuck on when to start looking for my dress. I'm worried that if I leave it too close to the date then I'll stress out and rush the process and then on the other hand I'm worried I pick too early and want to change the dress.!! I might add that I also hate shopping and can never decide on things from clothes to dinner ha! Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I found a dress, but I'm worried I won't be warm enough?

My wedding is outside, and I don't want to freeze while we have our photos done... it only has cap sleeves.
