    But look at their feedback

    http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=compass.2009&iid=-1&de=off&items=25&which=negative&interval=365

    Don't forget, that picture doesn't show the actual dress you will get.

    If you love the dress, I'd get a proper dressmaker to make it for you x

    Plus 3 neutral.

    That's the gamble people will take without actually seeing any of the work they do.

    That's a Rosa Clara dress - thought I recognised the model and style of dress. She's a Spanish designer and has beautiful dresses - way out of most peoples' budgets though, so I would have thought that ebay one is a copy!

    Her website is www. rosaclara. es and the dress is under her Rosa Clara collection, 164 Rosal. Can't link directly to the page.

    Hope this helps!

    Ah ha!!! The model. Thought I'd seen her somewhere before.
    Fly, £64 is a weeks shopping so IS a lot to lose. £64 would cover the cost of fabrics so IS a lot to lose.
    Think, MSE!!!!

    Will built in petticoat and corset bodice around the £500 mark. Of course, that is silk! Synthetics don't come in much cheaper. You save around £50
