    yes this is the one and you can get it in all sizes its perfict to wot i want but am a bit weary of it dont know if i order it n i get it its nothing like the picture so am a bit wurridd but thats the one it is gorgus lol

    Their feedback is good, and price is good! I would be inclined to try and find it from a UK seller first, currently trying to find the dress they copied it from!

    My Sister got hers from China and it was fine - the only issue that I would highlight is that they absolutely scrimp on fabric, so you need to either order your dress a bit bigger, or make sure you don't put on any weight!!!

    Concerns me as if you give them measurements, how the heck can the dress be too small?

    If you go down this route know the potential pitfalls, do a lot of research, and order with lots and lots of time

  • I saw a dress very similar to this in debenhams today - I can't find it online though. Might be worth a trip in if it's not too far away. (Sorry I didn't see the price though).

    I ordered from Ebay it stated a UK seller but they had ordered it from china as I later found out when the dress came in the wrong size wrong colour the beading was wrong it was all wrong I was told to send bk to China thats when I knew I had been done over! I read good reviews about my seller and also my friend had had her bridesmaid dresses made by the same seller and they was so nice but just my luck I got the rotten egg

    So please do be careful here is the link to my thread about the dress I had ordered

    Maybe it was because my sister measured herself...and then decided that it would be ok cos she was on a diet to make it a bit smaller....
    The diet didn't work (not enough anyway!!) and so a last minute adjustment was needed.

    I got 2 from eBay china, first one was awful and hit sent back. Sec one was perfect and fit perfectly and the beading and quality is stunning

    Ah, this is when the sizing can be wrong!
    Trusty tape measure must be believed and no sucking in tummy's. Like any wedding dress, order what it says on the tape measure to your current size. If you diet, take it in, if you don't loose the weight, wedding dress fits!
    Hope all worked out in the end. x
