A while back I referred to a questionable listing on a wedding dress website to show my loyal readers how to exercise caution when buying your precious wedding dress online from individual sellers.
Whilst there are some superb buys on these websites, some sellers unfortunately do not seem to see anything wrong with being less than truthful in their listings.
The most recent example is one seller who proclaimed her dress as "(Name of designer) - New". When you read the listing (and see the photographs) it is clear that the dress was worn by the seller on her wedding day and it is therefore not new at all.
When considering buying a dress online, read the listing VERY carefully. If the seller is advertising it as worn once - look for wedding photos on the listing. If she has not provided any, that is indicative that it is being sold before the seller herself has actually worn it. In an earlier post, I have already listing the problems with buying such a gown.
If the seller is advertising it as new and she provides wedding photos of herself in the dress and makes reference to the dress having been dry cleaned, then you know that it is not new at all but second hand.
I will keep posting listings that I have analysed thoroughly with dresses that in my opinion are excellent value for money.
