I tried on the real thing and really liked it, I just didnt like it as much as my wedding dress, so now i have both dresses that I like! Ill just be using this for my ttd so it doesnt have to be perfect, my wedding dress fits me like a glove and thats what I loved about it, the real RD1044 doesnt really suck you in so thats why I didnt go with that one, but this will be perfect for my ttd session and you certainly cant beat the prices of these knock offs
