I have bought my dress! ...From Ebay...! - UPDATED WITH PICS

Mitzi50, 4 August, 2009 at 09:23 Posted on Planning 0 5

I know when I first joined hitched I posted about buying a dress from ebay and some people said go for it and others strongly advised against it. Well since then I found the dress I want in a bridal salon, and it was £1300, I then saw the exact same dress on ebay for £110.00. The lady has sold loads of dresses and has really good feedback, so I figure, in the grand scheme of things its worth a try for £110! And if its rubbish, at least Ive tried and can pay for the shop one. But if its lovely, which i am confident it will be, then what a saving!!! In the bridal salon the woman said that this dress was actually made in china when they order it, so it may even be the same woman making it!

When I ordered it the lady was lovely, lots of contact checking my sizes and checking how i wanted the dress to do up etc, and has told me exactly how long it will take. 4-5 weeks!! So .... watch this space!!

    Well done you!!!! You're right - at £110 you can afford to write it off if it doesn't work out for you.

    have you got any pics?????

    Let us know how you get on.

    Thanks gillsy, I've uploaded pics and will keep everyone up to date. I think there were a few other brides out there who were considering doing it!

    Steff, I think I can help with that, I also got mine off ebay and the seller was great (not the best English but perfectly understandable)...

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/April-Bridal my dress is the 'Rachael' one and the embroidery is amazing!!
