My co-worker bought this dress on ebay last night for her daughter. It''s silk, and looks like it could be designer, but the seller said the tags had all been removed. Anyone recignize what it might be? It was most likely a store sample, and is probably a few years old. I can''t wait to see it when it arrives!

No idea, sorry I''m no help, but the girl in the pictures looks so young and a little scary!

$50 for a dress! that''s my kind of deal! hehe

Don''t recognize it, but it''s very pretty and looks from the pictures to be nice quality. I''m interested to see what you think of it when it arrives.

I think it''ll look great on the girl, and you can''t beat the price! I did just sell a Kenneth Pool gown on ebay, so at least I know what "real" quality is now. It should be here by the weekend, I hope to get pictures of the bride in the dress, I''ll post what I think after that. I hope she likes it! She has a hard time looking at pictures and seeing herself in the dresses. I went with them to David''s a few weeks ago, and this dress is pretty similar to the styles she liked, but it should be much nicer.

That''s a size 12 gown? What size am I? 58?!?!?!?

I don''t get the whole "bridal sizes run small" thing either! You would think the 1 piece of clothing you would like to have a small size on the tag would be a wedding dress! It should be the other way, a 12 would equal a 14-16. My dress was a 10, and I normally wear a 6!

Bridal sizes don''t run small, they run traditional. It''s the clothing manufacturers that have been steadily "downsizing" with the result that you now have girls striving to be a "0," or even a "00." Years ago your current size 6 would have been a 10 or 12. (Most pattern companies for home sewers run closer to traditional sizing.)

Back to the topic at hand, the skirt on that dress looks very much like the one on Robbie''s dress...

I don''t know about the pattern thing, my mom made me many clothes for dances and such in high school, and we normally had to make a smaller size and even take it in some...
