For those who are thinking of buying their dress from China

I just had to say how impressed i am with this lady, who i have bought my wedding dress from. I purchased it from ebay for the grand sum of £82 including postage and packing, from a Chinese company. I sent her my measurements and just 3 weeks after placing my order, the brand new, made to measure dress has finally arrived.

It is stunning, extremely high quality and fits like a glove. The length is perfect and the detail is exactly as shown in the pictures. It came very well packaged and a hooped petticoat and shawl were also included ( at no extra charge)

I am gobsmacked.... if anyone is thinking about purchasing from the internet, then it is highly recommended

    Yes, mega high. Sadly gives the impression the dress is worth peanuts but the shipping costs a bomb. No offence Rebchappers, am happy you are delighted with your gown.

    I believe the reason for high postage is that you dont pay ebay fees on postage!! For example, i paid £5.50 for the dress and £77 shipping... the buyer gets the full amount but only pays a selling fee based on the £5.50... which would be approx 5p. If they sold the dress for £70 with shipping at £12, they would still only get £82 ish but would have to pay ebay fees on the £70 ( Which would be about £8)... its just a way of getting rid of the ebay fees

    Anyhoo... i am on cloud nine, and just wanted to make others aware and help them make any decisions if they were thinking of using them!!

    A word of caution, Paypal will only refund the price paid for the item not the postage so if anything was untoward and a paypal dispute was opened you would only get the minimal cost paid for the dress refunded.
    A risk worth taking?

    But luckily, everything has gone through fine - swings and roundabouts i guess!!

    I don't have a proposal (yet) but browsing through her shop I think I may just have found my wedding dress! :D
