    Of course they have wonderful reviews, they wouldn't show you anything different. Not everyone agrees about Chinese knock off sites, but I wouldn't chance them, even for bridesmaids dresses.

    DONT DO IT!!!!! I have ordered on Amazon.com from a seller called PacificPlex. I've worn a red dress they had and I thought the quality was great for the price and it was a great dress.

    It's up to you, Tania, if you want to take the risk, by all means. But you have to know it is a risk, you may not get your dream dress, your girls may be out money with no recourse... it's all about research and due diligence. You're better off getting the real dress (or something similar) from a US seller where you CAN at least get your money back, which is not the case with transactions with Chinese knock off sites.

    1 - it was cheap enough that i was able to get it tailored to my liking

    2 - I'm 5'2" so i found it to be really long on me

    3 - I think the size runs a LITTLE larger which was great to have the tailor take it in

    Do NOT order from this site! I am still in the middle of a nightmare experience with them over the wedding shoes I ordered, and I can't imagine how awful it would be for something like a dress. This is a fraudulant, scamming company. Returns are IMPOSSIBLE. They made me send them pictures (which I did) of the defective shoes, and then only offered me 20% coupon for their store to buy more faulty products. Responses take DAYS, staff is incompentent, and if you need to return something I can guarantee you'll just be out your money. I know I'm out $100 for shoes (plus $20 to ship them back). DO NOT CHANCE IT, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SHOP HERE.

    Also, if you read their reviews, you'll notice several grammatical mistakes, similar to the email responses you get from customer service (they're all in China and speak so-so Englihs) ... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if every wonderful review was written by the company!

    And one more note ... it took them 30 days to ship the shoes to me, and 7 days of back and forth emails before they would even agree to give me the information on how to return the product. Can't say enough how awful they are.

    DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DRESSFIRST.com. My experience as a shoe buyer with DressFirst has been horrible and is still in the process of resolution. Thank-God I purchased with PayPal, they advocate for customers. DressFirst sent a pair of shoes two sizes too small and then were rude in their emails claiming that I did not know about European shoe sizing. That made me even more mad because I sent them the requested pictures of the shoes comparing them in the photos with Italian Ferragamos and American Cole Hahn shoes. They offered to give me only 10 cents on the dollar and when I refused to accept that (I really wanted the shoes) they told me that I would be an exception and could send it back to them at my own expense, but Post Office rates to get this back to China are ten times the cost of the shoes. If they were a reputable company they would be offering a pre-paid return label (this is China after all) or alternatively they should ship out the correct size shoe. AVOID THEM!

    Lets put it like this. I am in the same boat as you. My mom found this site. As good as it looks trust me its not worth the hassel. There are a lot of good reviews but the bad ones say poor quality of the dress. Bad customer service. They will chat with you all day if you have NOT bought a dress. Once you buy one they will avoid you. They have no return policy and its in China, the biggest scamming capital of the world. Its your risk but is it a risk you want to take?

    have had customers share their poor experience from dressfirst of not being able to receive any correspondence once they had their money. They have also shared how disappointed they were once they received their dress.

    For anyone wondering whether a website is from China, we have put together a list of over 3000 sites (and counting) that you should stay away from.

    Watch the videos as well to help educate yourself.

    You can also share your experience if you ever ordered from one of these sites on our list and help others.

    I ordered a dress from them. I wish I hadn't. The dress I received bears very little resemblance to the dress I ordered. I ordered this:

    http://www.dressfirst.com/A-Line-Princess-Off-The-Shoulder-Chapel-Train-Satin-Wedding-Dress-With-Ruffle-002011775-g11775

    I tired explaining to them that gentle ruching and folded creases in the fabric are not the same, but it was useless. I would not order from ANY out of the country company at this point.

    And here's a closeup of the bodice of the one I got attached. Buyer beware. And they do not have a return policy. They will only refund part of the money back and that's after I sent multiple pictures highlighting why the dress was not the same.

    Hi there, this may be a bit late, but perhaps you can find a reputable seamstress to make the dresses for you.
