    Hi I am wondering the same, the seem to be too good to be true! I also don't know if I could stand the suspense of waiting to see what it was like as they take a long time to arrive!

    I would love to see if anyone here has had one! xx

    I've ordered my flower girls dress from ebay (china) and 2 bridesmaids dresses from DHgate (china) I'll let you know what they're like. I'm so hoping the colours are right and that they fit the girls, I've requested a lace up back rather than a zip back incase the girls grow xx

    I got 1 from china it was really lovely just i went off it when i seen my maggie it was really well made and looked just like the pic. My sister got hers from china and her 4 BM dresses and they was all really nice and well made as well as long as you dont think they are going to be 100% like the pic as there is allways some thing diff about them.

    Hi

    Yea i ordered my bridesmaids dresses from lightinthebox.com and they're great. i'd had real trouble finding the right colour dresses on the high street and found bridal shops charge an absolute fortune for bm dresses so i thought it was worth a gamble

    i chose the made to measure option which was a little more expensive but was worth it, the one i got for my sister fits perfectly (i ordered hers as a trial and have since ordered the remaining dresses). sorry i havent got a photo of her in it, but heres a pick of it so u can see the overall look of it.

    A few girls on here have had dresses made by 'The Birmingham Lady' aka Huiyunkitty. She's fantastic and VERY cheap which is not at all reflected in the final product, the material is superb.

    They worked out £75 each, not as cheap as some high street dresses but still pretty good compared to most places you can get dresses made to measure.

    I didn't email any designs, basically light in the box works a bit differently from the other china websites, the photos on their site are of dresses they've actually made, not the designers photos that they copy. so you choose a dress you like and then choose the colour and perhaps the option of your own measurements.

    as for the ease of it... couldnt be easier... apart from my sister all my BMs live abroad so takin them to the bridal shop for fittings was never an option, so I've just had them send me their measurements and done it all online, it only took 2 weeks for the dress to arrive. ? simples

    the dress i ordered is this one https://www.lightinthebox.com/en/p/a-line-bridesmaid-dress-v-neck-sleeveless-open-back-tea-length-chiffon-with-criss-cross-pleats-beading-2021_p22563.html

    it had some naff sparkles on it which i very carefully picked off now it looks elegant and simple how i like it. i hope this helps xxxx ?
