DO NOT EXPECT TO GET WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PICTURES FROM CHEAP CHINESE KNOCK OFF SITES!!

I'm doing a "Zombie Apocalypse" themed trash the dress. I didn't want to trash my REAL Sottero and Midgley Lucianna dress that I love and made convertible. I bought my "Trash the Dress" Dress from DH gate for ~$150. The link is what they are "sellling" I've included their product photos and me in the dress. Come June 12th when I have my REAL dress in hand and I'll do a side by side comparison. This will have to do for now.

First the Front view: THE FABRIC IS AWFUL. It's like cheap graduation gown material instead of the amazing satin on my real dress. There is NO fluff and all, the tiers are flat and lifeless. The rouching is not even and messy.

    @Cydney J (Cydney M) Yes we're still doing a trash the dress photoshoot, We have all the guns, boots, makeup, etc....someone will be videoing things too but it won't be a "polished" video. Here's me and my knee high leather boots and Air Soft BB Rifle for Killing Zombies!

    @Thanks Ab Z. It'll be even better when I update it with side by side comparisons.

    @Kathleen B. You're right, the top is better than the bottom, But the mismatched rouching is much worse in person as is the wrinkling.

    @Kimberly L. Yes, Sequins like you'd find on a cheap Halloween Flapper costume . Smiley smile

    Thanks @Edna E. I knew it was the dress I wanted before I went into the salon. On my first day shopping I tried it on LAST. That was it, I bought it right then and there. :0)

    Hi Jessica S.... I'm so sorry you got scammed by them.... I had read a few threads here on WW about how bad some of the dresses could be and decided to purchase a real one instead... but we did use the DH gate one for the Zombie Shoot... Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do sometimes but try to send it back or just get a new dress and then do a trash the dress with the Chinese one.
