Buying a wedding dress from China via Ebay?

[Aimz]

Just thought I would share my experience...

My best friend bought her wedding dress from eBay and it was a disaster to say the least.

The beads weren't sewn on - they were GLUED on ... and there were still remnants of glue from the glue gun on the material. The stitching was done in such a rush that it started to come undone just by her holding it against her body.

She tried to get her money back but the seller was no longer listed.

She ended up getting a dress made for more than the China dress but at least it was good quality!! It's your wedding day - skimp on anything BUT the dress

Wow, well I once tried to sell my wedding gown on Ebay but didn't get anywhere, so if nothing else I'm learning what not to do as far as Ebay sales go.

Ahhhh don't do it!!!! I bought a wedding dress off ebay from China, and it was foul, nothing like the photo, shoddily sewed, cheap fabric etc etc. I had to fight them to get my money back, and lost the postage costs both way. Ugh!

I think that if you want to buy an ebay dress you're better off buying a second hand one from a local seller. You can ask to see it or try it on before bidding so you know what you're getting.
I'd rather have a quality second hand dress (it's only been worn once after all) than a shonky new one.
