    The website is definitely not dodgy. It's a marketplace site so lots of different sellers selling their handmade or vintage products.

    Obviously you're dealing with individual sellers - like eBay there will be some sellers better than others.

    I love Etsy! I bought my wedding jewellery there and will buy my hair accessories when I decide what I want. I would buy everything from there - however, to do so would cost more money than I'm spending so attempting to be my own etsy by DIYing.

    You could ask to contact happy customers or just get one dress and if you're happy with it get the rest.

    Love the bottom one, so pretty. Just check the reviews before you buy maybe. I'm looking at bridesmaids dresses on Etsy too with the seller Coralie Beatrix, but I'm just stuck on colours. ?

    Etsy is amazing, especially for cute crafty things Smiley smile Legit site, can't speak for individual sellers but the payment will be secure!

    You do realise its not a direct website? Its a site which Sellers can use to sell their merchandise. With that in mind, there is a risk, much like EBay, but the site has a good reputation. I bought my jewellery from a seller on Etsy and it was fab. I couldn't fault the seller!

    Hi hon. They are beautiful. I have had some bride have bad experiences China. it might be worth looking at the pictures in this post. The main problems are:

    1: fabric quality.
    2. Size generally massively oversized (From my brides)
    3. Import Costs (Tax and admin costs)

    Overall the feed back was its not worth it. As a photographer I use Etsy alot ofr props etc. which have been excellent. I have been stung myself buy clothes from america. Almost doubling the cost.
