Post all "Knock Off Wedding Dress" questions/comments here


Recommended Posts

We rush ordered because my mom was late deciding. So they arrived in three weeks.  No pictures were exchanged mainly because i liked the dress as it was listed and had made no specifications. My TTD dress is really plain and simple ivory strapless chiffon.  I was impressed! When my mom saw it after alterations she was like so why did we buy the other from the bridal store?  I laughed and said because you bought my sisters from the bridal store lol !!

Thank you for posting the pics of these dresses! I have been trying to find a dress that I love and I think I just fell in love with the second dress! :)

 

Less is More, how long did it take for you to get the dress? Did they send you pictures during the process?

NHKinNegril and Less Is More-

Thank you for sharing your experiences and hints with the chiffon dresses through inweddingdress.com!  This definitely gives me a bit more confidence as I'm finalizing my decision :)

 

Primavera-

I figured out Dress #2 is an Ella gown # 5487- http://www.ellabridals.com/dress-5487  It's such a beautiful dress and has a nice balance of femininity and classic-sexiness. Now, if I could only figure out the designer for dress #1... I'm having a hard time choosing between the two dresses without seeing pictures straight-on of the front and the back of #1.  Good luck with your dress!!

Thank you to all the b2b that have posted a lot of helpful information on here! I was hesitant to order online until I began to read your posts and see the pics. I even found a seamstress in my town who said to order from China but wasn't sure which sellers/sites. She had three dresses in her shop and I went to look at them and I was amazed! After seeing the work first hand and reading about everyone here I opted to order from dhgate.com. I was affraid I may get back ordered bc of the holiday but the seller responded right away. I'm going for a simple dress since we are going to elope on the beach, just FI, our son and my folks and of course me! I only paid $105 for this dress and I did order it big because its a strapless and I want it customized by my seamstress. I just hope what I get looks as good as the pic!

I can't find a price online for the Ella 5487 gown, The Knot has it in the $600-$1500 bracket. However, a local boutique has a sample in stock and I'm setting up an appointment to try it on tomorrow.  I'll be going alone so I doubt I'll be able to sneak any pictures, but at least I'll be able to pass on a price to you :)

Dress #1 is a Cymbeline Comtesse ('09-'10 collection), and runs around $3000 new, and $1500-$2000 used. The lace is fuller on a real person than on the model- http://www.whitexchange.com/dress/4080  But I wonder if inweddingdress.com could make the lace lay flatter...  *head explodes*

 

Hopefully some day this will all come together cheesy.gif

Oh, that is great! how did you find a sample? Did you just call the different resellers in your area? I would love to know how it feels on, so please give me all the details when you get back! :)


Dress #1 looks a lot different on a real bride. Still pretty but I would also want the layers lay flatter.

 

When are you planning to order your dress?
