PSA- Chinese Knockoffs (My dress)

Bummer! sorry you had to deal with it...but it's always good to listen to what others say ... especially when it comes to 'knock offs'

I bought this before I came to this site lol

Lol...well darn! I hope you didn't spend too much on it!

I had a friend who purchased her gown off a knock off site too and it looked sadly very similar to yours. :-( luckily she found her dream dress at a boutique and it didn't cost a fortune

Sorry your going trough that...hope you find a dress you love!

I purchased my bridal shower dress from Light in the Box...was not even worth the cost it would take to fix it! I hope you find something better. You know, there are some GREAT consignment shops with dresses that have NOT been worn! Try that if you only want to spend a few hundred. You could walk away with LOTS of bang for your buck!

I bought it for cheap. I cant remember how much but it was under $100. I found two dresses completely different from this that I love AA 2201 and the DB look-a-like lol

Thank goodness! I'm glad your story has a happy ending Jess!

Thanks Cydney

Bump*** Trying to keep this one up top for a little while

There are many, many great consignment shops that specialize in bridals. There is one in NJ that is amazing. It will save you this grief....

I went to a bridal discount shop. It was very affordable because they do not do the alterations. They even had designer dresses for as low as $500 and up. I thought that was a good price since most dresses were Mori Lee. I hope you find your dream dress!

I suggest any place where you can try on the dress and have a legit return policy

Thanks for the heads up! And I hope you can resolve your issue.

Welcome and Im not to worried lol

I am so sorry it happened to you. I hope you find the $$$ to get another dress. Good luck sweetie...thanks for sharing.

Man that sucks - Haley has a good point, would def. work for a Trash the dress shoot! I am looking for a dress for a shoot as we speak. I would buy it from you to donate to your other dress fund, but it looks like you still have a bit of time left until the wedding! Good luck!

PM me if you are interested in it. My dress is the reason we put the wedding off a year

With all the warnings and news stories, why do people keep buying despite the red flags.??

I had no idea about the issues. I really dont watch the news and I had never been to a sight like this when I made this purchase

JessandChris....I am so sorry you had to go through this. Thanks so much for coming on and posting the pics. Imho, pics are far more valuable than soapbox statements with a thousand words.

Re bestbridalprices.com.....I had an experience with them. It didn't work out for me and they refunded my money. If you are going to buy from them, make sure you first try the dress on elsewhere. They are a legitimate authorized dealer for many designers and usually offer great promos if you buy certain designers. They are the online site for Carol Frew Bridals in Illinois. I ordered Cate's cathedral veil(Maggie Sottero Bernadine) from them. The boutique where she bought her dress wanted $520 and I bought it for $198. It will arrive in April, so if it is out of order, I will be posting.
