I've done it and taken the chance!

Thanks CompBunny, I will take pictures this afternoon and post them.

I bought the other dress on ebay from a seller called women_world888. It is the dress referenced LACE UP BACK PROM WEDDING DRESS GOWN. She has been very reliable, responded to all my messages within 24 hours. I think it took 5 or 6 weeks max all together.

I've finally got my dresses back this morning! Am trying to follow CompBunny's directions (if it fails, it is my wedding brain at work!). And poor quality of picture is me and my lack of photographic skill (gave up on attempting to take a picture of myself wearing the dresses!).

This is the main dress bought from ebay from above seller with some amendments made (mainly made shorter, changed bow material and colour, and few other minor amendments)

Front:


Closer up:


back (bow obviously looks fuller when dress is worn):


And my evening dress (from lightinthebox):
The back is the same length, it is just how it holds on the hanger!


And closer:


Hope it works! It is probably a bit late for those who posted at the time, but if it can help future bridesmaid considering whether to attempt buying directly from China!

FBaby

Not sure why the last one doesn't work (thought I was doing well!

Trying again

FBaby

OK, definitely need some photography lessons If anyone does want some more closer ones, let me know and I'll try to do better!

2 lovely dresses, what a bargain!

TopQuark

Thanks so much FBaby! I'm going to order my dress from light in the box, so this has given me confidence to go ahead!

Have a great day

I'm so glad you got nice dresses I have also ordered from a Chinese seller and got an email this morning saying that its been shipped. Fingers crossed

FBaby

Thank you for your kind words. Sazzarella and TopQuark, hope you too have a good experience from ordering directly from China. Let us know.

TopQuark

Will do!

Well done for posting the pictures Fbaby! They really look great, especially for the price you paid I'm tempted to order from Dressilyme, if I do so I will post pics and a review...looking forwards to seeing the experiences of others too!
