Buying a dress from Aliexpress

Fredelyne, on March 5, 2019 at 1:31 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 18
Hello my fellow brides!!!!
I have a dilemma about my wedding dress!!!!! Well I found my dream dress on Instagram and the boutique is in Australia and it would cost me $6000 to get it here!!!!! I couldn’t justify in any way shape or form of my father spending that kind of money and also the fitting of the dress!!!! I found a replica of the dress for a 1/3 of the price on Aliexpress!!!!!!! But....... I’m very scared to order it because I don’t know if I can get a dress like that and I have gone to every bridal shop in my area. What do I do???

    I’d caution you ordering from China to have high expectations. I’ve researched this obsessively and I bought from a seller on DH gate I researched a ton and unfortunately it didn’t work out. I am now ordering through Cocomelody if I can afford it. Otherwise I’m stuck with a dress that’s falling apart. I am running out of time and heartbroken and stressed about it.
    if you do plan to order on aliexpress I’d only order through Rose Moda, they seem to have wonderful reviews and quality and have been great at communication with me.
    But if you can order through somewhere more reputable like Jjs house, Cocomelody or azazie I would! And give yourself ample time to plan for a failed dress. And if you order fromDH gate or aliexpress be ready to say goodbye to that money no matter the dress quality.

    I would caution as well. These can be a hit or miss and you don't want to spend money you can't get back or may have a headache trying to get back. Check preownedweddingdresses.com or other sites that have reputable pre-owned dresses.

    I would definitely use caution because I've personally bout a dress there that hasnt fit well for me (a regular dress so it wasnt a big blow haha). My friend bought her wedding dress from there and loved hers.

    I would say it's like Russian Roulette lol. If you have money, maybe it's worth a shot buying your dream dress, but I definitely wouldnt reccomend it if you are on a tight budget

    Don't do it! Alieexpress is 100% knock offs that are poor quality. The return policy is a nightmare and their shipping is SUPER slow so by the time it would get to you you'd be scrambling to find a replacement.

    I bought my reception dress from AliExpress, but only after reading all the reviews and seeing all the pictures of the actual product received by actual consumers. I was able to send in my measurements and customize the color, neckline, sleeves or no sleeves, and train length! It was $200 and it fits perfectly!

    I suggest you read all the reviews and look at the pictures from consumers. I only saw like 3 dresses in the style I liked that had good enough reviews. Also make sure it has a good amount of reviews as well, like 100.
