Default I must be nuts!!
I've just bought my wedding dress on ebay! I was looking for something a bit different... I think it's utterly gorgeous... but please back me up, because I haven't told OH yet and he might not like it!!

What do you think??

That's gorgeous! I'm a huge fan of the 40s and 50s so I've made a note of that site!

Love it!

My friend did exactly the same thing last year. She bought her origional one in a shop quite early on as normal but then fell in love with one on Ebay & bought that too! she had to have it adjusted loads to make it fit but it was gorgeous & looked stunning.

Thats beautiful BW!!
I'm getting my dress off ebay too. I know a couple of people who have and were absolutely thrilled with them.
Don't forget to post photos of you wearing it!

If its the dress you want BW then its the one you get . its your wedding day so if you like it - stuff what everyone else thinks.
And as Hazel at the Hill says - your other half won't see it till its to late so his opinion don't count anyway.

Looks good to me- go for it and have a great day.

It's gorgeous. My daughter bought hers off ebay last year and I have to admit that I was horrified. - I'd thought we'd do the whole mother and daughter 'shop for the frock' thing - but when it arrived it was stunning, fitted perfectly and, what with the bridesmaids dresses coming from the same supplier, she saved enough to put a fair amount towards the honeymoon.
