So, I got my dress in the mail yesterday that I was so excited about….

The fuchsia from the bottom of the dress bled on to the crochet top during shipping or while sitting at the warehouse. Even if it wasn't ruined I'm not sure that I would've liked it 100% anyway. It has the open back and the pop of color that I want on my dress, but it just isn't IT. Im going to contact the company to see if I can return it even though there were 'no returns' on the dress since the top is ruined and I won't be able to wear it for another occasion.

Has anyone used DHgate.com for their wedding dress? Its kind of sketchy and I've read some reviews on some of the dresses I like, but would like some first had reviews about people's experience with the site.

My other thought is trying to find a cheap vintage dress that has details I like and having a seamstress fix it up for me. My goal is to stay under $200 with alterations though, which would make this option difficult.

Back to the drawing board for my dress!
