***Caution***Got my dress and veil from china! Pic heavy!

Lalita, on June 15, 2011 at 1:15 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 42

What a let down, they are willing after many emails to refund my money but I have to pay for return shipping. Once they receive it they will return my money within a week! So they say...

Def got what I paid for, LOL

Torn lace, lots of holes, patches on some holes, falling beading, uneven seams, droopy dress in general.

Veil needs a lot of TLC.

Ladies be careful... guess I wont be one of the lucky girls who got the great dress online.

On the upside I get to go shopping again. Probably will keep it fix it up as much as I can and use it for a Trash the dress session with my kids they will love that! I know I will Smiley winking

    Yes, site and photos of what you thought you were getting, and what you received. I would like to be able to share it with any future brides asking.

    Did you buy this with your credit card? I would contest it through them before I spent anymore money in relation to this outfit in China. You did not get what you paid for. (Well, in reality, yeah, you did, but officially you paid for a new-condition, custom-made dress that you did not get.) If they want the dress back, THEY should pay for return shipping.

    I would say otherwise if this was just you changing your mind, but that's about as good as them sending you a box of rocks instead of a dress and then insisting that you ship the box of rocks back at your own cost before they will refund your money.

    @ Glenn S. You are so right that's what I get for being a cheap a@#. Hopefully this will help other brides not support these websites. Smiley winking

    I am sorry that this happened to you. I was lucky enough that both of mine came in just perfect, no issues whatsoever. Hopefully you will find something in your price range.

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish you had been on WW sooner and posted you were looking at doing this. Too many brides are being screwed over by these companies!

    Look at your dress- it's not even the same. Sleeveless? Nope- the one you wanted has cap sleeves.

    It's actually quite normal for chinese wholesaler dresses to have 'good bones.' They are often made in the same factories as the brand name dresses. However, it is the details that lack. Cheap, crappy crystals-not lined up perfectly. Low quality lace, often with holes (as you have seen), etc.

    I really hope you can save at least one other bride from making the same mistake!

    Sorry it didn't have a happy ending. Good luck getting your money back. I wonder if you can fight it with your credit card, it is not what was presented to you when you made your purchase.

    Thanks for the picture references. Good luck finding the dress of your dreams.

    @Glenn - 8 yr old.... LOL

    That is true- one of our brides is selling that dress. If I remember correctly, it's a size 8. I can message her on facebook and tell her to check in here.
