Just got home...really I am afraid of Ebay or anything on Ebay it's like putting your money into a black money!
You mean a black hole, right?
the seller of your dress has a feedback rating of like 13000 or something - NYCCHICK got her FG dresses from her. If you sign up for Paypal you can use your credit card and dispute the charges if you find the dresses aren't what you wanted. Just put in Flower Girl dress for search and you should see your dress right there.
But if the person you're buying from is selling them for a good price, then go with that. But I don't think they'll beat $22.95.
eBay is a bride's heaven. I've gotten so much stuff I can't even tell you. You save so much money! I also sold on there for awhile.

Re: AFRICAN-AMERICAN BRIDES
Oh, here's my dress - my mom's making it, accents will be silver:
I bought all FOUR (yes 4) FG dresses on Ebay. All brand new. 2 were identical to each other...and the other 2 were identical to each other. (you DO understand what I'm trying to say, right?? )
I paid like $12 bucks for one, $14 for the other...and then the other two were 24.95 a piece.
My middle name is EBAY.
NS...I love your dress!
Not a good picture...but hopefully you can get an idea.

My little sister. She's a cosmetologist and very good. Of course, I'm biased. But I can't recommend her to anyone until after the wedding when I have pics.
