Has anyone bought bridesmaids dresses from eBay sellers in UK? **Flash**

MrsCase2013, 10 of December of 2011 at 12:55 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hi all,

I have fallen in love with the dress below for my bridesmaids:


Sorry for big image.The only problem is, it's from eBay and I'm a bit worried about it! The seller is called evica dresses, they're based in England and to be fair they do have 99.8% positive feedback, so I know it would probably be okay... But after hearing all the horror stories I'd love some reassurance!

I can't seem to find anything as blingy in shops, and these are a bargain at £70!

What do you think? x

    First of all, that's a lovely dress.

    I've had a look and they do have a website outside of eBay: http://www.evica.co.uk

    But, when you Google Streetview their address it appears to be a block of flats in Croydon. This might mean the dresses are still made abroad and shipped in by this company. Not that that needs to matter - loads of the clothes we wear every day are made abroad.

    ETA: If it was me, I'd order one and see what it's like. They have quite a strict 7 day returns policy so I'd bear that in mind.

    I've seen a few similar dresses (although not in that colour), but not at £70.
    As others have said, it may mean they have been shipped in from overseas, or that the quality isn't the same.

    With the sellers feedback score, I probably wouldn't worry. Although even having 99.9% feedback can mean hundreds of negatives, if they have thousands of transactions overall, so look more into that than the % score and read what the comments say.

    Check the sellers return policy too. You may be able to order and return within a certain period of time if it does not suit.

    Thanks so much for your help girls! What good detective work - I'd never have thought of checking for a website or office on street view!

    I think I will order them (nearer the time - obvs!) Because I can always return them, I hadn't seen they had a return policy.

    You're all the best! x

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I went to an ebays sellers premises today which turned out to be their front room. The dresses were good quality and very nice so I'm going to go for it. The only advice I could give you is that if you buy one then decide to buy the rest at a later date, the colours may not be an exact match. I would do my reasearch and either decide to go for it or not, that way the dresses will be made from the same roll of fabric.

    Good luck xx

    I bought my girls' dresses off ebay and i knew full well they were from China. They made them to the girls measurements and arrived with no flaws and some free jewellery.. Which was brilliant because it was what i wanted to buy them!
