Hi girls! I bought a real Maggie Settoro before I knew there were knock offs. I love my dress to death so I'm not too upset about it. The dress I bought was showcased here: http://www.dhgate.com/store/product/2013-new-sexy-strapless-satin-full-bustled/78695482.html#sshot_2539-10-null Judging from my dress vs pictures of knock off, I can see lots of similarities, but quite a few differences (like the placement of flowers, the size of flowers on the back, how the fabric looks on the train). To some girls, that's no biggie since you save TONS of money from a dress that you may wear for...oh less than 24 hours? To others, if the dress comes in looking 80% of what they imagined it to be...and alterations are expensive...is it worthwhile? I think if brides can live with the differences from the knock off, it really doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, the dress is an accessory to the bride...not the other way around.
