    Oh no, what have I done? I've just ordered my wedding dress off ebay. I am crossing my fingers and my toes and my nose. Will keep you updated as to how awful / amazing it is when it eventually arrives. GULP!

    I'm waiting for mine to come, from ebay. I ordered one and sent it back (squished my boobs but fit perfectly everywhere else) though as pretty as it was, it wasn't right for me. Quality was ok, but not amazing. It was a UK seller from Feltham.

    The other one is from jewlz. It's 3x th price of the other one (£205) and fingers tightly crossed, it'll be fine. It was in the sale from their website. I can't justify paying more than 200 or 300 totally max for a dress that I'm going to wear for 2 hours of my life.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    I ordered it from Natalie_bridal its a "bridesmaids dress" (gold) but its far too ornate to be a bridesmaids dress so have ordered it as my wedding dress, its a size 12 but I'm concerned my boobs won't fit in!

    honest opinions, what do you guys think? £115 including postage.

    Just to warn you, its from hong kong BUT she is based in the UK and orders them from there.

    I like that a lot.
    Yeah I agree, far more bride than bridesmaid :)

    thanks paulies_nixie - I was scared it was too much but hey, if you can't go OTT on your wedding day when can you?!?

    I will update you when it eventually arrives as to the quality.

    That's lovely :cool:

    I don't have the figure for it but if I did that's the sort of style I would go for :D

    Nice dress!

    I've ordered mine from Designerbridalbargains on ebay. It's going to take 20 weeks (!) to arrive. So far their communication has been really good. Friendly & professional but I'll update the thread when I receive the dress.

    twenty weeks, wow thats a long time! I hope the time they've spent making it is carefully reflected in the quality :j
