Etsy wedding dress

I'm getting married in September. 2nd wedding, early 40s, garden reception...I'm a fairly decently curvy size 16 but bottom heavy and don't have much to fill a cleavage.
I want to wear something green and floral and hippyish and have found some lovely dresses on Etsy but I'm not sure if I can trust them? Will they look like I bought them on wish!?
if anyone has any experience of buying dresses like this on Etsy I'd be very grateful! Or any similar suggestions? Budget up to £300...
thanks!

Etsy has been infiltrated with drop-shippers and the likes, plus a large amount of the artisan crafters that made it what is was 10 years ago have left the platform entirely. That would put me off buying something like this from Etsy. That being said I have no personal experience and there is often lots of reviews.

That's what I'm worried about. Stolen photos and something cheap and vile turning up from china :(

sorry to be negative. To check for stolen photos you could do reverse image search on google, it won't necessarily be 100% accurate but might work. For example, the one you posted seems to be this Teuta Matoshi dress

Google lens the images, see if they're sold elsewhere, even other etsy dropshippers prob have the same dress.

Thank you!
I'll steer clear. They are clearly stolen pics! There are other dresses on Etsy that seem to be properly handmade from the reviews but of course they are more ££.
