I want it, I want it...I want it!

There's a dress on ebay for sale, it's absolutely gorgeous, but we're not getting married til winter 2011, so it's way too early. Am I right? It doesn't end on ebay for a couple of days, but it's stunning! https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150406145458&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en


What should I do???? arghhhh!

 

[Kimboowee]

Dooooo ittttt!!!

 

[toffee87]

My concerns are:

-that I'll change my mind
-I've not tried any one yet, so how do I know?
-ivory won't suit me, although I think it will I'm a brunette!

I say go for it too

I bought my dress in August and we get married in September but we hadnt even book the venue when I bought it x

 

[toffee87]

damn yooooou! I might just HAVE to bid (last minute so I get a bargain). From what I can see they don't tend to go for all that much, which is great! I refuse to pay £600 if I can get a perfect condition one for £100! Will have words with OH when he gets in from work. He'll probably think it's too early, but I want it hehe. Do you think it'd suit this venue : https://www.northophallhotel.co.uk/weddings.php

They do really good package deals, obviously we'll have to look, but it seems perfect. Not too posh, it's elegant and low key

 

[pinkmummy]

That venue looks gorgeous hun xx

 

[toffee87]

Thank you

I think the dress would match the venue, I hope so anyway. I just hope OH isn't against me getting it now...

 

[Kimboowee]

Venues gorgeous! If it don't suit you you can always sell it on! And stay away from anywhere that contains wedding dresses incase you find something else!

 

[toffee87]

hehe, I know

If you love it then get it. You'd kick yourself if you didint and never found one like it agagin. If you change your mind you would easily get £100 back again

I did the exact thing your about to do but then when I tried on one which was over 5 times the price, I feel in love with it and couldn't imagine myself in anything else. So then I didn't like it and will likely loose money - it was £600 sample dress, all because I'd found my dream dress in a shop.

For £95 you can't go wrong, and even if you do see another one - which it IS still worth looking to make sure, then you can sell it as said above.

i'd do it, it seems a great price at the moment.
it's a lovely dress too!

I tried on a variety of dresses one day and didn't know exactly what I wanted, then my mom and I went to Value Village just to have a gander because I'd seen a dress or two there recently. Well, I bought my wedding dress at Value Village of all places. lol I really loved it when I tried it on! and it was super duper affordable, just needed to taken in a bit.

After I had the dress I'd spend time hemming and hawing and feeling like I was missing out because in truth there are sooooo many gorgeous dresses out there! I love dressing up! I kept thinking "but what if there was another dress I'd love more, etc etc." But everytime I put my wedding dress on for fittings (or just because lol) I fell in love with it all over again!!

 

[toffee87]

I'm so confused! My friend says it's gorg and it'd suit me (as much as she can tell) but she's against buying a wedding dress off ebay, which i understand...but....i like it!

 

[lu-is]

hmmm.. well consider the scary parts of buying from E-bay:

-The item never arrives: You can file complaints through E-bay and if paid through Paypal there is insurance on the item for 30-45 days (I don't remember the exact length)

-The item does not fit or meet description, or is just plain ugly: Does the seller have a return/refund policy listed? if you can return it than you'll maybe only be out shipping costs, or as someone else mentioned if you change your mind you can always resell it online.

*buying a dress from a store is no guarantee either: what if they measure you wrong and the dress comes in too small (happened to my maid of honour); and since some places make you sign a form or "waiver" stating you agree with the size they chose you can still have crazy stupid issues of finding a seamstress..

 

[Libra Mariah]

That dress is beautiful! If I were you I would buy it. If you don't buy it now, the dress might get sold to some one else. If it doesn't sale the seller may decide to not relist it. If you do decide to buy it and later see a better dress, you can always put it back on Ebay your self. Therefore if you buy the dress it's a win win situation. Hope this helps!
