Judd Waddell

Bought my Maggie Sottero wedding dress, but unfortunately fell in love with a dress by Judd Waddell! It`s style #003, white strapless with ivory streams and I need it in a size 14 or 16. I`m brokenhearted, and feel really really stupid for obviously buying too early, but have rationalized that I can buy this dress if I can get it cheap. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

I actually have encountered a problem with the judd waddell dress and i need your help. Did you ever see the actual dress in person. I recently purchased the 003 gown from a truck show. I ordered the dress and i just received the dress in. The dress brought in had the same front but the back o f it was totally different than the one i saw in the truck show. I have argued with my bridal gown compnay and now i have the feeling that i`m going to get stuck with a dress that didn`t order. Please e-mail me back if you have ever seen the back of hte dress. No one seems to have a picture of the back anywhere or has seen it personally. I`m running out of time. Thanks. Sincerely-candy in ohio

Chris- Vows in Newton is the major samples gown outlet in the area. Don`t know how much Waddell they have, but it`s a good place to pick up a cheap designer dress.

Oh my gosh! Today I just tried on & purchased the style #003 Judd Waddell gown. I special ordered mine because I wanted one in satin that was all white. Now I am worried that the back will be different from the sample that I tried on in the store. The back of the dress in the store had a streamer type piece of satin which you could loop through the back or remove & wear the dress without the streamer. What did the back of the dress that you special ordered look like, Candi? I cried at the store when they made me order a size 12 & now I am going to be worried sick that my dress won`t look like the one I tried on. Help!?!?!

Can someone describe the #003 style to me. I`ve tried on a Judd Waddell that I am thinking of purchasing; and I`m wondering if it is the same one. Thanks!

Beth-

Wedding dress sizes have nothing to do with what size you actually wear. They make them up, randomly. I am not even sure they really get larger with as the numbers go up.

Congratulations to all the brides on this site who had to order a dress with a number 2X higher than your normal size. Hope your days are wonderful!

I would like to sell my Judd Waddell, however I`m not sure of the style number. It is a size 14 though! It is strapless with very delicate, beautiful beadwork (crystal beads) on the top, with a drop waist. Does this sound like the one you`re looking for?
I fell in love with it and against my better judgement (and budget) paid the $2200 for it! I have not regrets. It was perfect! I was married on June 14th. The dress has been drycleaned and is in perfect condition.
Please let me know if you`re interested in seeing photos via email.

Amber, if you haven`t sold your Waddell yet, I`d like to see it. Actually I`m also in GR and just got back from paying a 2nd visit to my dream dress at Bridal Elegance in Cascade--it`s a Judd Waddell too (I think the one all the ladies are talking about here). Please let me know if it`s still available and if I could see it. Thanks!

Hi,
The dress is still available and I`d love to show it to you. Bridal Elegance is where I bought it actually. It is at my Mom`s right now b/c I wanted to have it cleaned before bringing it home. If you want to email me at aryerse@yahoo.com we can set up a time to meet if you want too. I hope you like it! It was my dream dress (I went to the shop at tried it on 4 times before I finally just broke down and spent the money....ughghgh).
Hope to hear from you soon,
Amber
