Can you come back & update us? I'm looking for a bargain dress at the moment and have been looking at that site. I'd love to know if the dresses are any good.

atruth - yes i will let you know when I have it. im sick with stress now over it. i hope ive done the right thing. i do know someone else who ordered from there and they were thirilled with their dress so fingers crossed.

That's a beautiful dress Smile. I've been looking at that site myself, but I only looked at the wedding dress section, didn't think to look in other sections.

I think you were wise to go for a medium, I've ordered from a few Chinese outlets on ebay and a Small is always tiny by Western standards!

Do be aware that with these Chinese companies, you may get stung by tax on arrival. I ordered from a different company but also based in China, but I know that I will probably have to pay tax on delivery but I've factored that into the cost and it still works out much cheaper than buying a dress over here, even if you have to pay for alterations as well.

I've looked into reviews for different Chinese wedding dress companies and the ones for LITB seem mixed, I think many people complain because they didn't realise that they had to pay import tax and the returns policy, but there are just as many happy customers too.

atruth forgot to update you - you probably dont care now! the dress arrived and its lovely. the sizing was fine and i didnt get stung for tax (im in ireland so not sure if that would make a difference). its presently hanging in my spare bedroom just waiting patiently to be worn in october.
