    i got my dress off ebay, i asked the seller for their measurements to compare with mine, i had to buy two sizes bigger than i am.

    I am getting married in november. I bought mine off ebay last year....a basic size 14, it was from a shop that sold off ex display dresses. I bought it last november lol so a year ahead, but i fell in love and had to have it. Recently i have given up smoking and piled on a few pounds so realistically more a 16 now. My mum has altered my dress for me (she's a dressmaker) as the side seams had at least an inch surplus, now it fits perfectly. I never thought twice about buying off ebay.....probably as i know mum would have helped out if it didn't fit properly, either way a good seamstress can do wonders, especially if you were desperate for THAT dress, as i was.
    Good luck in finding your perfect dress.
