I originally wrote a post about my experience with purchasing my dress on eBay.
So if you didn't know, now you do! I purchased my Pronovias wedding dress off eBay and it was one of my best purchases of the whole wedding. It was called Dolomita and was part of the 2013 Glamour Collection. It was Tulle with chantilly lace application a-line gown with a sheer neckline.

I had the typical bride moment coming up to the wedding where I thought I looked horrible in it, but i'm pretty sure that it is a common thing. In the end I was really happy with it, here are some cool photos!

| I liked the way the back of the dress looked in this, all swooshy! |
On a side note I was wearing my sisters veil with a pearl and crystal brooch I bought from a local wedding jewelry store. I also had a hoop skirt underneath which is pretty much a must, but luckily I also borrowed that from my sister!
Also this is an awesome photo of the dress at the Fairmont Banff Springs.
Takeaway
You don't have to spend a fortune to get an amazing dress that you love, look around you might get lucky like me.
I am not keeping my dress which seems to get me a lot of grief from people. I don't understand why I would pack it away in a box and let it sit there for the next 50 years. I have decided to try and sell mine second hand online. I figure if someone can't afford to buy one brand new then why not give the option to get a beautiful dress like this online and have something fabulous on their wedding day that they might not otherwise be able to have! If I don't sell it, no big deal, but if I do, I know someone has an amazing dress and I have a bit of money to put towards a dress I can wear all the time (or maybe a holiday or something!).
Share the love people, don't let a beautiful creation rot in a box.
