Not bad for £60 a pop
And not overly dissimilar to the designer pictures - especially for the money.
I'm almost decided on using this seller myself - I'll let you all know how it turns out.....Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!0 -
Hi could you tell me the name of the seller
Many thanks x0 -
I don't know whether I'm allowed to on the forum?
Perhaps one of the more seasoned posters could tell me whether this would be frowned upon or not?
Meantime Chiararuby1986, I've PM'd you - hope that's ok?
I've decided to go with this seller myself - just ordered the chiffon colour sample chart a few days ago - chewin' my nails waiting for it to arrive
Will let you know whether the product/service matches up to my stepsister's experience.....Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!0 -
Hiya EvilOlive, I think its absolutely fine to post the sellers name! I mention DressilyMe (where I got my dress) all the time, and on the BB cream thread we were frequently sharing the names of trusted ebay sellers
Go for it, it will be useful for other brides!

OK, thanks Compbunny, seller's ebay user name is rose-love99
Like I said before though, I have only my stepsister's experience to go by so far, so, at your own risk, do your own research, make your own decision blah blah blah, etc etc etc
Will let you know how it turns out for me in due course.....Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!0 -

Hi runawaybride,
I haven't actually ordered the dresses yet - I was waiting to get the chiffon colour samples as the standard colours weren't any good for my 'theme'.
The samples did take a long time to arrive, but, in fairness, the seller did send them within a day of my order and gave me a tracking number. I tracked them all across China on the website and the holdup was actually once they'd reached England - they sat at Heathrow airport for nearly 2 weeks! My sister works for the post office and says that this often happens - they often get backlogs at customs who don't care when your wedding is
The lady said it should take around 9-14 days and it would have arrived in about 10 if they hadn't got stuck at Heathrow. Obviously that was just samples so you'd need to factor in the time it'll take them to make the dress before they can send it but I think you should be just about OK even if your dresses get held up like my samples.
Would love to see pics when they arrive?Don’t try to keep up with the Jones’s. They are broke!0
