Don't buy from Honey Bridal Store on Ebay!
Don't waste your time with Honey Bridal Store on ebay. I bought a dress from them thinking I could save a ton of money, but instead I've lost money.
I went to a bridal shop and tried on dresses, found the one I liked and from reading Bridal Bargains, decided to check out ebay to save money. All of them, as far as the people from China, seem to do the same thing - custom dress and custom sizing. So I contacted Honey Bridal Store and sent them pictures of the dress and asked them if they could make that dress for me. They said that they couldn't make it exactly the same, but 90% the same. So I figured that 90% the same will be good enough if it was going to save me hundreds of dollars. So they set up an ebay listing, with the picture from the manufacturer's website of the original dress I wanted, and I bought the dress. Paid for it, then they sent me chart measurements, asked me if I wanted the back of the dress to be corset or zipper, I filled in the chart and what I wanted. Then the "dress" arrived.
I couldn't believe I wasted my time. The dress looked NOTHING like what I wanted. Not only did the dress not look like what I wanted, it wasn't even made properly. They some how managed to make a wedding dress that looked like it had two pockets on the front of it! (I guess for tissues). Then the corset or zipper backing that they asked me what I wanted, I told them corset. So what did they send? A dress that had corset and a zipper. Why did they bother asking what I wanted? The dress looked TERRIBLE! I can send you a picture of the "dress" so you can see for yourself. Oh, and the dress didn't fit either.
So of course, they said before I ordered the dress that if there was problems I would be able to send it back and get my money back. Yeah right. I paid to have the dress shipped back and they are still trying to claim they haven't received it yet. I sent the dress back on November 19, 2008! And don't think by paying with Paypal that they will save you. Because I tried to bring a claim up with paypal and they closed my claim. So I'm out $139.99 plus another $21 to send the "dress" back.
So don't waste your time or money with ebay china seller's ---any of them! Best bet if buying on ebay, is buying from an actual person. Someone who is only selling one dress.

Has anyone bought from Kelly Bridal?
I was wondering if anyone has heard of or had any experiance with Kelly Bridal out of China, www.kellybridal.com. They offered me the Jim Hjelm dress I've been looking for at $250 with shipping included. They sent me the actual pictures from Jim Hjelm's website, so I don't know if that means their factory actually produces his dresses or not. Any advice?

After reading, I want to order my dress online too! Im frustrated with these bridal stores trying to taking advantage of me.

Would I have enough time to order one online? If i dont like it, i want to be able to buy one from the stores in time for my wedding.
any help would be appreciated.

Well.. here we go!
Hey Ladies, I bought a dress from Julius Bridal back on the first week of Feb. The promised the dress by First week of April. Let's see what happens!! here is the link!
IF you do decide to go with Julius, the Ebay listing was cheaper.. btw.. I think if you select a dress from the China's designer website than giving them a picture to copy, I think you may be in better shape. I think when they try to copy off of a picture, there is too much that can go wrong.

Got my ebay dress today!
Ordered on 1/11, received on 2/21 from ebay seller gnut6211. Paid $150 (free shipping). Dress only; no crinoline or accessories. Came in small box so I was scared to open! Looked drabby and wrinkled upon opening box. I took it to a local bridal shop to try it on with 3-hoop crinoline and have the seamstress help me tie it up (corset back). It looks so much better when you add the crinoline (which I bought there for $39. The train is medium length; local seamstress is going to add a bustle for $30. So far I've spent $220. Now all I need is shoes and accessories which I also plan to buy on ebay. It also needs to be steamed because it is so wrinkled.
Here's both pictures. Mine looks slightly different because I asked them to make it all white; no tan. The top look different because of my tire belly! I have 7 more months to work on that! lol

Pictures
I posted my pictures with my ebay dress but it looks like it didn't work. Let me try again:
Once I get it back from the seamstress, I will take closer pictures of the beading and threadwork.

Has anyone bought a dress from "Charm Angell" on Ebay?
I've found a couple of beautiful dresses from their store on Ebay and they have tons of positive feedback (99.3%). I just wanted to get anyone's personal experiences with them. I also see from the message board that 1koo.com is well-regarded too, so I'm going to check them out and see what I can find.
