    look on ebay! the ones from Asia are so cheap it's cheaper to buy a size there and alter it to fit perfectly in ireland.

    Lyndak082, ebay is supposed to be a better bet as the feedback on lightinthebox is made up whereas it is independent on ebay. I've bought lots of dresses from China on ebay and they have all been perfect. Didn't do it for my wedding dress as the one I wanted was elsewhere.

    hi there :) i'm actually a wedding singer and have a photographer and we've done many weddings with dresses bought on ebay. I'll show u some pics as there are similar ones on ebay. i had a lady with a fuller figure so probably better fitting on less busty ladies but here it goes:

    http://weddingcentre.info/gal/W25.html - thats the actual picture of the lady in it. let me know if you need any more pics i'll post you one more with the whole dress on it.

    http://www.etsy.com/

    i didn't buy my dress there, but i bought my invitations and lots of other things over the years. etsy is geat as you have direct contact with the seller and you'll find beautiful, often unusual, handmade dresses for great prices. it's worth having a look around on there :)

    we are also on a tight budget so I ordered mine wedding dress from www.lightinthebox.com and got it over a month ago now... cost me €87 delivered to my door and it is flawless. Exactly like it looks in pic and the sewing is perfect, hand beaded detail too... Same style dress is here in Limerick dress shop for €700. I got me a bargain!! I couldn't be happier. :D

    My sister is getting married in september and we're ordering our bridesmaids dresses from the site tomorrow evening! well worth it!
