PSA- Chinese Knockoffs (My dress)

Wow, thanks for sharing for those who have ever considered buying overseas. Are you getting it fixed or just taking it as a loss and purchasing another one?

Since it isnt too bad if I cant get the money to get the dress I want Im going to get it fixed. Im trying to post more but my computer wont let me

Hem

Thanks Jess

~ Ugh ~ That dress is a wreck. Sorry you got stuck with it.

It could work for a trash the dress. If you do work with it, I hope it isn't too much money to fix.

So, how about the image that was on the site.... I'm dying to know what you "Thought" you were getting.

Oh yea duh let me find it lol

Jess, that's brave. I hope you find something you'll like.

Here is the one from the seller. I found a dress at AA and DB that Im trying to save money for

The train is supposed to lay all ruffly and hold shape it looks like a silk bed sheet.

Bump****

And which site is this you ordered from? Because I have been on lightinthebox and they have some pretty good reviews. Just asking.

It was an ebay seller. She has a different store than the one I ordered from now. (Her own separate site) Lightinthebox.com is not a reputable site. Go to hayley's profile she has info on knockoffs and good cheaper sites

I'm wondering who writes those reviews.

Me too! The reviews on this dress were amazing! I bought it two years ago and the reviews were raving and all 5 stars

Ok Thanks. @Mrs.S, I was wondering the same thing, but I was only reading the ones that had pictures to go along with the review. But thanks I will take a look at Hayley's post.

So Jess, did you get it on eBay or the seller's other store? Because eBay is usually pretty good at resolving stuff like this.

The seller's other store. It wasnt on ebay it was its own site and now its gone. I cant find it at all but now she is on ebay. I found her on there when I was searching BM dresses

I read my first comment about ebay and I didnt write it right lol

Crystal- I bought it so long ago when FH and I were engaged but not publicly and I couldnt do anything now

I was thinking of buying my dress from a chinese site but we decided not to. Bestbridalprices.com had my dress fro a couple hundred cheaper than the stores though. And they're the real dresses! However, be careful with color selection because they had the wrong color choices on their website for my dress. But the dress turned out great!

If you already tried on the dress, know your size, & the designer of the dress, check out pre-owned sites. Some are never worn. Be sure you are shorter & smaller than original bride to take dress in

***You need to go to a STORE and try on dresses. Your dream dress in photos might look horrible on. Once you know what silhouette fits you you can start on-line shopping. ****

Lightinthebox - disappointment in material quality and shipping issues

Chandler's Heart- Lightinthebox is one of the worst offenders out there. I've ordered from them twice. The first dress was a disaster, but I was stupid enough to try it again. I NEVER recieved the second dress. They aren't subject to US consumer protection laws, including the protection offered by your credit card.

For those considering this route- You could hire a local seamstress to custom make a dress for you for not much more, and you have a quality guarantee!
