    Please be careful - the feedback is 46 and includes 3 recent negatives. The scores for p&p, etc, are low and they are at risk from being removed/suspended from ebay as a non performing seller.

    First time i have posted a picture, so hopefully this will work. I have taken a quick picture of me in the dress... it is a corset style dress and i am unable to do up the lacing to the back on my own!! Hence it does look a tad strange around the waist! I have tried to pull it in the best i can to give you the idea. I am wearing a 3 hooped petticoat with it as well, and i think it might look a bit ''puffy'', so i may well change this to a 2 hooped version!

    Hope this helps

    Personally, I think you need the 3 hoop. You look very pretty. x

    Thank you Linda, and thanks for your advice about the hoop. I think when the dress is done up properly, my waist will be a bit more visible so the 3 hoop ill look nice. I just look like a big ball in the picture as i have no definition around the waist area!!

  • 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?

    this is untrue

    when you win a paypal dispute all money paid is refunded including postage.

    what is not refunded is the return postage
