My dress, an authentic Bonny dress, came from Waves Bridal on eBay.

I looked at dresses on ebay.  I haven't bought anything yet, but a few things that stand out.

1) Sometimes, they are authentic dresses that are either already worn by happy brides or from stores/sellers getting rid of floor samples or older stock.  (Sometimes need dry cleaning, which can run around $200, at least in Ottawa.)

2) The shipping is often insanely inflated.  READ THE SMALL PRINT.  TWICE!!  Especially with the China/Hong Kong sellers.  And I don't mean that as any kind of racial slur, but IME, they're more likely to add extra charges, on top of the shipping charges.

3) If it's too good to be true, it just might be.  If you want to go for it, do it, but be aware and prepared for the risk you're taking

don't hesitate a minute - marry him!

Bought mine off of ebay for 47.00 from the US not in yet, will let you know.  I also bought another dress off of ebay, it was beautiful but wasn't the right colour.

Check the SHIPPING COST!  You can get burned there.
