I love Ebay!

So, I spent most of my weekend shopping for a wedding dress. Went to 4 stores and tried on over 30 dresses. Had a lot of fun with Matilde, Sin Yen, Michelle, and Kaori. So I find 2-3 dresses that I really like and look good on me. People have told me to go to stores to try on the dress and look on the internet to see if you can get a cheaper price. Well, bridal shops are getting smarter. They don't let you take pictures of the dresses and some of them are cutting out the manufacturer tags so that you can't find the dresses.

So, I start looking at these wedding dresses online to look for the 2-3 dresses that I liked. I was able to find 2 of them in my size on ebay for less than half of what each store quoted me. So, at first I was a little skeptical because I didn't want to buy a used dress, but I found that there are a lot of people who sell new dresses on ebay. One of them was a sample dress that was being sold by a bridal shop. The other was someone who hadn't worn the dress, but couldn't fit into it because she was pregnant and couldn't fit into it anymore. I've also heard of some people that bought a dress and then found another dress and so needed to sell it. Anyway, it just goes to show you how people gauge you when you are planning for a wedding.
