Spontaneous me! I bought a dress without ever trying it on or seeing it in person!!! I came across the deal of a lifetime & couldn't pass it up.
I had been looking through bridal magazines & searching for brands I saw that I liked on ebay. So I did an ebay search for Sottero & Midgley because I liked her couture line. Up comes a few dresses, and one completely caught my eye. Looking at it brought me a peace, and it looked like everything I ever pictured since a small girl. It was different than the all lace mermaid look I've been looking for, but staring at it made me so happy. I couldn't find any stores with the dress so I could actually see it or try it on before I bought it.
The dress was an ebay listing that allowed to send your best offer. So I offered a low offer, and the seller accepted!!! I suggest anyone looking for a dress at a great price, try http://stores.ebay.com/Half-Off-Bridal they sell their store samples, but it's odd because my dress is a new style from the designer and is featured in theknot winter 08 Spring 09 isssue, it arrived quickly and in perfect condition, looks like it was never tried on!!! They also had the maggie sottero evita, which I have in a post below.
It arrived yesterday!!!! I'm in love with it and it makes me sooooooooo teary eyed, and I can't believe it's mine. It has made me forget about all other dresses.
My HAUTE COUTURE, lol it says that on the tag. Fun. It needs taken in a few inches so as to hug my curves, but the length is perfect.
I'm in love with my dress!!!
Now that I know someone else is as crazy as me I am soooo relieved LOL
Can you tell me if the broach comes off?
Someone asked me where did I get my dress from, I told them I had it made, and they were in shock, and I paid less than $100 for it too. They want the info to order their dress from them too. I was so glad I did that instead paying $1,000.00 for my dress.
