Flower girl dresses from Hong Kong have arrived

My latest bargain buy:

I got two flower girl dresses for £34.98 from Hong Kong on ebay.

It may be a little early but using the theory that over the last two years my two little girls have only grown two inches in chest size I have got two sizes up. Theoretically this should allow growth plus a little room, if not it was only £35 and at that price I am willing to take the risk

Providing all dresses fit (I know mine and my matron of honours will) I will have spent just under £130.00 for my dress, 2 dresses for my matron (identical dresses just different sizes) and two flower girl dresses :money:

I am feeling rather chuffed with myself as none of them look cheap :D

    The seller was paixshop. I have ordered my dress and the flower girl dresses both from Hong Kong (different sellers) and I couldn't be happier but I do know that some people have had horrible experiences.

    The only advice I would give is check the sellers feedback before ordering and ask on here if anyone has had any experiences with them.

    You need to remeber also that some of the photo's will be taken from designers sites so the dress you receive may differ from the picture. That's what happened with my wedding dress, it showed Alfred Angelo 1136 and the dress was based around that design but instead of crystals there were pearls, I'm more than happy with it though so I'm not complaning but it is something to consider.
  • I got mine from ebay/ china and when they came I was so pleased with them seemed good quality. The morning of my wedding came and 1 flowersgirl dress ripped straight away and within half hour the other did too.

    Saying that my sister in law got some and they were perfect lasted well and really well made. She even managed to sell them after so think it really is hitand miss xxx

    I'm going to get my aunt who is a seamstress to have a look over them to make sure this won't happen but from my initial inspection they seem fine (fingers crossed) but I will update if there are any problems.
