Every Dress i Like is From China

Light, on September 2, 2019 at 11:15 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 20
Every since dress I’ve picked out seems to be from a Chinese seller. Me and my bridesmaids have tried to reverse search and ask around, but it seems they are no where else to be found. They aren’t unreasonable prices the $250- $400, but I’m anxious about even trying to buy from one of these sites!

anyone have any experience with this?

    Why don’t you just try searching reputable sites like DB, Azazie, Lulu’s, etc instead of Googling or Pinteresting “bridesmaids dresses.” That way you’re not opening yourself up to the opportunity of falling in love with a dress from a sketchy seller.

    In my tradition we don’t wear white dresses, to be honest I’ve looked, but I haven’t found anything I like. Sadly, Lavender dresses that incorporate nature are in short supply.

    Does it have to be lavender and nature themed? That’s some tight criteria.

    I would look at custom Etsy dresses before ordering from those retailers. They often come completely different from the picture, if at all (in my experience).

    What sort of nature theme are you referring to? Is it something you could DIY yourself once you find a dress or take for alterations?

    My 👰👗came from China.

    I had no problems.

    However, I placed my order in May 2018. My Wedding is in 18 days now.

    I had to order it to get the one that I wanted.

    Honestly your best bet to find a more formal lavender dress is to hit up the stores around Homecoming time when they are packed full of all sorts of formal dresses.

    I dreaded dress shopping. I didn't want to spend a lot on a dress and every "bridal" gown I found that I actually liked was pushing 5k. My friend planned the dress shopping trip. We hit up T.J. Maxx, Nordstrom Rack, and had others planned such as Banana Republic, Forever XXI, Marshalls, Macy's Express, H&M, J. Crew, Gap, etc., but I found something great at Nordstrom. It ticked a lot of boxes. It was my size, it wasn't white, it wasn't revealing, it was an a-line cut, etc.


    If you're looking for "non-traditional" dresses I recommend stores that don't advertise themselves as bridal stores.


    I hope you find your dress!

    I got my dress from a local bridal shop and it was made and shipped from China. It took 6 months to come in and I had no issues. The owner of the shop said the majority of dresses come from China now.

    Hello,

    Everyone, I was looking for something with 3D flowers. I'm a big fan of off the shoulder or dresses with sleeves. I have no skills as a seamstress so editing my own dress would probaly go horribly. I will check around some of the non-traditional stores. I never thought the wedding dress part would be this hard.

    How about this? It’s from China bit it’s sold on Etsy so you would have the buyer protection in case something goes wrong.

    Oh wow, that’s beautiful. I’ve never dealt with Etsy before, have you had a good experience with them overall?

    I have bought a lot from Etsy without much issue. Another bride on here bought her dress from Etsy and loves it. I bought mine from China through Amazon and love it but I did a ton of research including every review and picture I could get my hands on.

    I buy stuff on Etsy all the time but every store is different, you have to check reviews. Most buyers post photos of what they bought so you know what it looks like.

    Here’s the link to that dress. The shop has numerous good reviews and photos from buyers. It looks legit.
