I bought my 1st ebay dress
from the seller wonderland0559. It arrived quickly and dd loves it! It looks wonderful on her. Then today, I decided to bid on a dress from China. I've been considering it for over a year and after seeing a few reviews of China dresses here and after seeing a few at dd's rink, I decided to take the plunge! This dress will likely be a practice dress or back up comp dress. I paid 31.xx for it! Not bad! Anyway, I am excited to see what it is like when it arrives. Now I get to wait. The bad thing about finding out how much I like(or might like!) these ebay dresses is how cheaply I can buy them. I am going to have a difficult time trying NOT to buy dresses now that I have discovered I can find nice dresses for not much money. Reign me in!!!
Anyway, for those who have ordered dresses from China, how long did it take for your dress to arrive? I am guessing it will take about 2-3 weeks for dd's dress to arrive. Anyone want to share their experiences?

Between 10 days and 3 weeks (when I ordered around Xmas). I live in Oz so the delivery times might be different for you. Hope you love the dress when it arrives!

Thanks!! We're in the US, so I guess we'll see how long it will take for the dress to arrive. At any rate, I know it won't be super fast and that's ok! I AM anxious and cannot wait to see it.

How do the sequins look on the wonderland dress? I've been considering buying one for my short program, but am unsure as to how the seuqins will "read" on the ice.

I ordered a dress from her as well!! I havent got it yet but will post when I do. She changed the colour on my request and no extra charges. The only extras are the rush shipping fees since I need it pretty quick. I decided to get one made to my measurements and it cost a bit more but far less then what I would pay locally. I'm excited to see it as I've only heard positives about her work

This is the dress I bought for my daughter who will be 11 in May: We're very happy with the dress. I don't see anything wrong with sequins but that's just me. Like I said, my daughter is really just beginning to get competitive, so I might not be the best person to ask about this.

Good luck deciding. If you do take the plunge, I hope you like yours as much as we like ours!

I hope you love it! It's always scary to order something like this and wonder if it will turn out like you planned. I was relieved when this dress fit my dd. I didn't want to start over!

I JUST got my dress from wonderland 0559 and it is SOOOOOOOOOOO pretty. It is spectacular. It far exceeds my expectations. Everyone loves it and it fits perfect. Its a little roomie, but better that then too tight (I was a bit generous on the measurements just to be on the safe side.)
The skirt on the dress is a perfect length for an adult skater...not too short and by far not too long. The entire outfit is lined which is wonderful. Honestly, I can't stop staring at it. I'll be a repeat customer and I highly recommend her work. I'll post a pic when I get my camera in order |

Which Chinese seller did you buy from? I've heard different things about the Chinese dresses, so it would be good to know which sellers are recommended.

Another mom has purchased 2 of her dd's dresses from the seller yibei_shop. I have seen those dresses and they are also quite nice. This is the back of my daughter's dress. She's standing kinda funny here...lol. This is what the front of her dress looks like.

Very cute!
Good to know; thanks for the heads up on these dresses. Maybe I will order from here in the future. |

Very pretty dress! Are the crystals good quality? I'm sure they don't use Swarovski for the price they charge.

They are OK quality. They definately are not swarovski crystals! They aren't bad, but if you want something more sparkly, you'll have to add your own crystals. I think another poster on this board has ordered her dresses undecorated and then decorates them herself. Personally, I don't mind these crystals. Like I said, they aren't as sparkly as swarovski crystals but for the level my dd competes at, I think these crystals are fine.

Great dress! It fits her well and it looks like a good color on her. I agree with you, no need to overdo the glitz at her age and level. Sometimes in the elite comps, I feel the costumes are so overdone they are distracting.

Anyway... I definately plan to do this again. I think this dress looks great on her and I think she could use it for testing too. Oh and I agree... at her age and level, too much glitz is not good. I am going to add a few more blue crystals to this dress, but it will still remain very simple. Dd's dresses are all very simple. I am sure when the music calls for it, there will be times we will need to be a little less simple, but for now, I think simple is good! I like simple but elegant looking dresses on elite skaters too! I don't think you need to go overboard to make a statement. KWIM?

Yup! I don't recall what level your daughter is at, but when she startes doing Moves In The Field (MIF) tests (if not already), I would consider a simple, well fitted dress in a solid color. If she's testing Freestyle at the same time, that's different, but I think simpler is better for moves. JMO
