ebay bridesmaid dress success stories please!!

mrsrobinsontobe2016, 27 July, 2015 at 15:26 Posted on Planning 0 14

So we are getting married next june 2016 eeek so excited!! we are doing so on a budget so have been looking at ebay for bridesmaid dresses.

1st problem is I want bright pink, like hot pink. the fashion seems to be baby pink at the moment so not many hot pink dresses on the highstreet

2nd problem I don't want to pay traditional bridesmaid dress (from a bridal boutique) prices as I cant afford to!

3rd problem iv seen some really bad horror stories on the wedding pages on facebook

basically id like to have hot pink long dresses preferably with a little bit of bling but not important, don't like two straps so either strapless or one shoulder and don't like the lace top ones everyone seems to be getting from ebay at the moment

anyone had any success stories they can share with me?? id love to see piccies and know who the seller was pls

id love to buy from a uk seller but there doesn't seem to be many on ebay!!

HELP ME PLEASE!!

    Hi,

    Have you tried the high street, i ended getting mine from asos, and as i got them in the sale they only ended up costing me £21 each. I know a lot of ladies who have got theirs from H&M Quiz, and even Tesco's.

    Good Luck

    My aunties got their wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses from eBay but I'm not sure where.

    The he one thing I would say Is you've got plenty of time to look, wait till the seasons change and see what comes in, I don't think you need to worry till next year.

    I cant recommend an ebay supplier but several on here have used light in the box with success. I personally would prefer to be able to try it on, check the colour/fit etc in a high street store. I found this for £49. It says pink, but you might need to look up close because online pics can be deceptive with colour:

    This one is £20!

    I know you don't want 2 sleves, but these too are on sale:

    http://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-frances-jersey-maxi-dress-pink/p1817076

    This one is £169, so might be outside the budget.

    http://www.johnlewis.com/jacques-vert-diamante-one-shoulder-dress-bright-pink/p1929278

    This one is multiway, so can be strapless/1 shoulder/both shouders etc and only £35

    I don't know what you're budget is, but I just wore a bridesmaid dress from queeniebridesmaid.com and it was approx £75 and it was good quality! There's loads of styles and loads of different colours.

    I bought my dresses off an eBay seller based in the UK. She was fab, and let us exchange dresses for the right size. I paid about £35 each. Mine are blue, but she may do pink too.

    This is the item number of the dress I bought: ****

    Hope this helps in some way.

    Tbh, I'm not sure about the import tax? My friend never mentioned anything and I'm sure she would have.. I would ask her but she's on honeymoon, sorry.. I'll try and find out when's she back.

    There is a possibility of having to pay import tax an anything over £15 which is imported from outside the EU.

    i got a few bits from China for my wedding, some things I got a tax charge and some things I didn't. First time I got a tax charge I mentioned it To Lightinthebox and they refunded me 50% of it.

    I did get my bridesmaid dress for my sisters wedding from eBay and although it was lovely, it was from China and I had to pay import tax

    Hiya,

    I got mine from here:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-shoulder-Full-Length-Chiffon-Party-Evening-Wedding-Bridesmaid-Dress-JS03-/280716212717?var=&hash=item870d0e6542

    I had the same issue, wanted Fuchsia pink....

    they were only £50 each, great quality, came within a couple of days and it's a UK supplier on Ebay.

    Good Luck Smiley smile

    I don't know where you are based, but I got my BM dresses from sexyher in Croydon. You go try the dresses on to get an idea of the style and, although they keep some colours in stock, you can order virtually in any colour. The dresses are made in China but the quality is excellent (as you have a shop 'fronting' the operation) and don't have to worry about import tax. They have a website and if you do go remember to make an appointment. The dresses are more expensive than buying direct from China but then you do have the assurance that you will get a good quality dress with no hidden charges. Good luck.

    Not a BM dress, but my mum bought her mother of the bride outfit from a china ebayer the other week, it came in about 10 days and the quality was excellent, exactly like the picture, couldn't fault it. Seller was augus2008. Hope this helps Smiley smile
