Ordering Wedding Dress from Ebay??

I think this is a natural course of temptation for brides to be - myself included.

Most of them come from China, I do believe, and they are just copies of the dresses that you see on the website. Some reviews have been fantastic, but some have been abysmal. Terrible quality, terrible fit, terrible craftsmanship. Also, there is the Import fees, which are not mentioned in the large print. A lot of unhappy customers also stressed that they had terrible trouble getting their money back when they were presented with shoddy goods.

I personally was put off by all the terrible reviews I had read, (too much to go wrong) and opted for an inexpensive dress from House of Fraser, which I loved.

I didn't think it was worth taking the risk, but like I have said, some reviews I read have been absolutely glowing. It's a risk, I think.

Hi Laura,

Dresses on ebay from other reviews I have read are very much hit & miss , buy at your own risk.

You've said your expecting, when is the baby due ? If possible you might want to avoid buying your dress before you have the baby to avoid pressure of loosing baby weight to fit into a dress you've bought previously. There are a few brides on here including myself that have bought their dresses off the peg or from sale ranges so this might be an option if you don't have time before your big day to order a dress after the baby has arrived.

Good Luck

Im due in 9 weeks so Im not going to order as yet but Im wanting to buy in a smaller size so I have the inspiration to lose the baby weight :-)

I didnt realise about the import charges so thank you for this! x

As an aside, if you are worried about the budget, you can get some beautiful dresses at a snip of the cost of boutique dresses in Coast, Phase 8, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Monsoon (is a favourite), even BHS, thesedays. And you can "Try before you Buy" with those as well.

Good luck with baby.

The dress shops will tell you they order in the size of the largest part f your body then take it in. Good news is that most shops recommend ordering 6/7 months before your big day so lots of time to lose any baby weight you want to before ordering.

Hi Laura,

I am getting married in July 2014 and have already got my dress! I ordered it from here: https://marketplace.asos.com/seller/weiweik/collection.

I know I have mentioned this place a few times, but I can't rate them high enough. The dress was £72 and delivery was £25. Instead of being made to measure, they have standard sizes (which I ignored) and the measurements of each size next to them. It fit me perfectly! I can honestly say it is exactly like the picture shows!

Good luck

OMG this is amazing! Ive just seen the dress of my dreams on here!! Did you have to pay an import charge as well as the delivery charge??

No import charge! This is the one I got:

Their amazing!!! How are they so cheap?! O_O

Hi

What size did you get and what size are you usually?

I have to say I have fallen in love with a dress that I may take a chance on

Hi,

I am usually a size 14/16 and ordered an 18 based on their measurements, but they do allow 5/6 cm in the hem for alterations! Mine actually fits perfectly.

I would totally recommend it!! which one??

They only have it in the biggest a 14 though and I am usually 12/14

It is beautiful!

If you look at the description it does say they can make it for you according to your measurements. It might be worth emailing them to ask the size of a 14?

I am waiting for a reply t an email I have sent them.

Its either that or I lose a lot of weight (which wouldn't be a bad thing)

Ha me to!!

I can't imagine it couldn't be taken out slightly. Like I said mine has a leeway of 5-6cm in the hem!

Is the lace on yours decent?



Sorry - taking over the thread a bit

Yeah really lovely! Just don't wear it with a charm bracelet (like I did!) lol

I think at that price, I might buy two! One for the day and one for the night lol x

They have sent me requested photos of a dress that they have made and it looks pretty good for the price.
I think I may take the plunge. But I will wait until my other dress arrives first ?

Am ordering through here, cant flash which one as H2B next to me on sofa
