    Thank franny, I was trying to avoid the chinese ones but sometimes they r well disguised! I agree, it might be worth an e-mail to ask what price they wud accept? no way are they gonna get that much

    Yes, they are :mad: It gets around the UK only filter which annoys the heck out of me, and caught Shel out before. Its not on because unless you are aware of the style of listing, you see a UK address and feel reassured :mad:

    No I have decided to not email her on that one Im not to keen on the bust but Thank you anyway hun xx

    And yes it is bloody annoying how they try to get around the fact that they are from china I was a fool to have ordered that dress but I have now learnt my lesson and should have just got one from the shop....and poor people who dont know any of this go and order the dress thinking they have a good deal when in the end they have to lower their dress budget
    sorry rant over Lol
    Its better to have loved and lost than not loved at all

    No problem, did think you may not be keen on the top, however I do think it would look lovely on, the seller is not doing herself any favours with those photos.

    Once you get used to style of posting its easy to spot the china sellers being sneaky, however chances are most people looking for a wedding dress won't have been looking for long on ebay and easily conned :mad:

    Either buy your dress at a shop - start looking in March because the shops will start clearing their rails ready for the new stock that they will be buying at the trade fair in Harrogate in March. Another alternative would be to find a dressmaker who could make the dress for you - that way you will know that it has been made properly and it will fit you unlike some dresses from chinese companies.

    Linda on here, is a dress maker. Here is her site
    http://dressesatno9.co.uk/default.aspx
    She's made quite a few things for people on here, may be worth having a chat to her about what you want.

    Shel - with dressmakers you have fittings so you can try it on during the making process.

    Linda is great and becoming busier by the day.
