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


Recommended Posts

I think it looks great. The only real difference I see is the colour. I`m now toying with the idea of buying my beloved Adorae and finding an ebay seller to make my short reception or TTD. For under 200 you can`t go wrong. I love this website.

She found a seller on dhgate called Bestdavid. Bestdavid has 98% positive feedback. Bestdavid was selling the dress for $128  canadian dollars and free shipping so she ordered from best david after she did a live chat with them. She order this dress on January 11, 2012 and recieved the dress today January 18, 2012. Overall, my mum is very happy about this dress. The quality of this dress is amazing. The craftmanship is stunning. The dress is fully lined and stitched beautifully. The flowers on this dress is stunning. Her only complainst are the color of the dress is a little darker and that the bust is a little tight. I think the bust size is 1inch too small and she is not used to wearing a built in bra. I think it will be okay once she tries it on a couple more times. She can't gain any weight in the next 4 months lol. In real life the dress doesn't look tight at all and she has a lot of room to move around. This is the dress right out of the bag! I think this dress is perfect for my wedding in May and she can wear it again after my wedding.

My mum did custom measurements. They made the bust 2 inches too small. we compared the measurements she inputted and the measurement of the dress and the dress is wrong not her measurements. When i ordered my wedding dress from dressilyme i did custom measurements as well and it fits like a glove. my mum's dress fits her like a glove every where but the bust. I think the problem is the built in bra cups. the build in bra cups are too small. My mum is a full D cup and don't think they have big boobs in china lol

There is a great site called Rue La La that has deals from different clothing retailers and today they have a shop called Style I DO with killer deals on reception dresses, gowns, shoes, veils, etc! http://www.ruelala.com/invite/msbdw  Also is you click on Women and then Final Sale Act 2, they have some Nicole Miller dresses.  Hope you find something!

 

FYI the sales are only for a few days...

Here's my honest opinion. The dress looks well made, but the lining of the bra cups through her dress is unflattering. I would suggest alterations to remove the bra cups and a price adjustment since the bust was made 2 inches too small.

Ugh Ladies I need you help! I sooo want the Lazaro 3819 floral embroidered dress. Of course its out of my budget and I am hoping to find one of these companies that can make me a replica. The only problem is that its so detailed with embroidery and consists of multiple colors that most cant do it =( I appreciate their honesty but I am still hopeful to find a company that feels confident enough to take on this job. I dont have permissions to upload so here is the link to the dress as I want it.

Try searching some of their names on Facebook.  I know Jasmines and Shades of Pale had pictures posted of work they had done, long and short.
