    Ok so I have tried to take some good pictures but I am a bit rubbish lol.

    First this is the picture I took on Saturday when my bridesmaid tried on the dress. The picture is really bad quality (from a mobile) but the dress looked nicer on and fit well.

    And then here are the pictures that I just took. The dress does not look this "shiny" in real life, I think it is due to the flash.
    Front of the dress:

    And the inside:

    which is fully lined with the bra support straps.

    This is the original listing:

    It is item number 834. The necklace shown is not the one you get free ROFL.

    Yes. I wasnt at first when it first arrived as it was vacuum packed and all screwed up and I thought it looked terrible! But after hanging overnight and hanging in a bathroom with steam, a lot of the creases have dropped out so it looks much better. Plus it looked good on and was a really good fit. I certainly cannot complain at the price - £65 delivered, made to measure with a lace up back (and free necklace which as mentioned above is not great lol).

    Although I like pink, I am hoping that it is not too much lol!

    Upload them onto an image hosting site such as photobucket or flickr then copy the URL from that site for the picture you want to upload, click on the icon in reply that looks like 2 mountains and paste the link in there, but delete the bit at the start and end of the link.  Sorry, I'm not too good at explaining these things!

    I used Terminal730-uk for my bridesmaid dresses. They arrived last week. Worked out at £65 each including postage (and a free necklace - but the necklace is hideous lol). When the dresses first arrived I thought my god they are hideous as they were all crumpled from the packaging but after hanging them up overnight, I now think that they are lovely. They looked even better on the bridesmaids too.

    Overall I would recommend them, good comms and price but they did take a few weeks longer than they estimated.

    I was thinking about ordering from them, based on your experience but I'm getting a little more wary.. they've had 15 negative feedbacks in the last month...

    Does anyone here have experience of ordering bridal gowns from Light in the box? I've seen one that's very similar to a really expensive one that I liked on the D!sney Bridal site (lol, I don't think I'll ever grow out of disney :) ) and was wondering what their quality/ customer service is like?
