Experience on off the peg dresses

I have been to a few bridal shops and found some gorgeous gowns but I am curious at these bridal,factory outlets before I commit to a shop. There is one I am visiting tomorrow and all gowns are new and under ??500. Has anyone been to these factory places and bought a dress. I am trying to price up extra costs such as alterations possible dry cleaning and steaming of the dress if its been hung up for ages. Iam all for getting a bargain but the bridal shops take the burden off you. Just wondered if anyone has got any good/bad experiences and did the cost turn put the same as a shop in the end

didnt want to read and run. i have never heard of a factory shopsound like it could give you quite a bargin! suppose it will depend on what they have and if you find 'the one' there. I would have thought alterations will be about the same via a bridal shop or if you find a local person yourself. The bridal shop has to be making a profit so there is def money to be saved by nor using them but like you say you get asupport and expertisie from them. let us know hoe you get on!
sounds good! im going to google search see if there are any down south! x
Did you find someone to steam gthe dress and make alterations in Manchester?
My dress was for sale between £950 and £1300. I got it off the peg for £500 in a weekend sample sale. Yes, it will need taking in. But I think it's definitely worth looking at these outlets or consider buying off the peg, as providing you can find a good seamstress if necessary, you can end up saving hundreds of pounds and no one would even know!
