I bought a dress!

[lisamarie84]

I feel a little silly since I''m not quite engaged yet (he has the ring). I love it! It''s quite simple in the front, but the back is beautiful!! It was on ebay and I bought it for less than 25% of what it retails for! It was too good of a deal to pass up

And the back:

You have to post a pic once you get it!!

The mermaid style is beautiful! If he''s got the ring then you know you''re going to need a dress, so don''t feel too silly, think more along the lines of practical!

 

[Snickerdoodle]

I wish I was tall enough to pull off a mermaid dress!

 

[sunnyd]

I''m certainly not tall. I''m 5''3"...so about 5''5"-5''6" with heels on. I still love the mermaid/trumpet style.

I''ve purchased a few dresses from this seller before and I think it took about a week last time. I can''t wait!!!

Thank you! It''s ivory...the color is called "candlelight". It also comes in white and a white/candlelight combo.

So beautiful and very elegant. I love it! I can''t wait to see pictures of you in it! I wouldn''t feel weird about buying it because you know he has the ring - its just good planning!

Thanks!! I just wish he''d propose already!! It feels like he''s had the ring for years and it''s only been ~2mos. I guess that''s part of LIW-itis.

I absolutely love the back, its so pretty. That''s what I am going to go for when it''s time to dress shop! Congrats on the find!

OMG! You know I have to go buy this dress now, right? I love it!!!

Can I ask who the seller is? I have been looking to purchase my dress on ebay, but I get nervous buying from someone who has not been personally recommended to me. I just don't trust the user ratings!!!!

Her username on ebay is shrimptoast79. I think her auctions ended today, but she usually puts things up regularly. I think she owns a bridal boutique.

I bought 6 white/ivory bridesmaid/informal wedding gowns (they were sample gowns) from her a few months ago. I'll probably use 1 or 2 of them for trash the dress pictures. She's pretty honest about damage/stains so I felt comfortable buying from her again. Hope that helps! Good luck with your search!!!
