Oh also, another "flaw" I noticed this weekend was that the corset back I had (instead of the zipper on the real one) went down farther than my lower back (onto my butt basically) which caused it to bunch up a bit and make my a$$ look bigger. Not sure if they can fix it now but you might want to measure your torso and have them check the length of the corset back....

Hi, i order my dress from dresillyme a month ago. It came this morning and i'm pretty happy with the result. This is the pictures from the web, dress design originally from Essense of Australia.

Ok because I had such a hard time finding info on buying a Chinese knock off I want to post a detailed review. This dress is gorgeous. Really well made. Great details, there are little beading details

Okay ladies, got it on, and it fits perfectly! Maybe needs a little tweaking around the bust...but nothing really! I will attach a few pictures of it, don't mind my lovely hair do!!

I was quoted 120$ for this dress. They were confident they could replicate the dress almost exactly. In the end its never going to be the original dress, its about 85% close to the maggie...but its 100% the dress I want (or will be when the changes have been made) for an unbelievable price.... I'm very happy I chose gianinarbridal.
Medecash I love the dress! I think once you get it and work with it it will be PERFECT! I'm glad you're happy with it, as you should be! :) Keep us posted when it arrives! :)

You ladies have successfully convinced me to get a dress made from a vendor in China.

 

Your dresses all look SO freaking beautiful!!

 

I have a small budget and want something beautiful. My only option here would be a davids bridal dress, and while some of them are very pretty, I can get a more detailed/beautiful dress for the same cost.

 

Did you ladies go shopping and try on the styles you wanted before ordering the lookalike?

 

I am going to have to, I don't know what styles will look good on my body. I may be falling in love online with a dress that wont look right on me.

Ethics Smethics!!

 

If you are buying a dress from a regular retailer, chances are that it is made in China anyway! Why do you think it takes 3-6 months to have it shipped in? I think people are being naive if they think that they are paying more for a dress to be 'creatively designed and sewn by a well-paid seamstress in the USA or Canada'

 

The wedding industry is a lucrative business and supplies outsource their labour all the time to make the most bang for their buck!

 

So, in my opinion ... if you can get a 'knock off' dress that you like online ... DO IT!

 

My girlfriend actually ended up ordering a Maggie Sottero from a retailer in China or Hong Kong. The dress was regularly $1800 CND and she got it for about $200 (alterations included) ... that is bargain shopping!

That's exactly what I did!!! And I went to Kleinfeld's!! I knew what style I wanted but with that style certain dresses still look different. I love the mermaid style but the bottom part of the dress has to full. I tried one and it had a plain simple bottom and I hated it!! So now I know exactly what I want and how it will look on me. But it will save me over $2000!!!

it is one from dhgate. PM me and I can give you the details.
It is a manufacturer from China that exports to Europe and USA. You can send pics and she will tell you if she can make it or not. The materials and craftmanship are excellent, you can see from the album pics, no pin marks or...assymetric bust or weird proportion that I ve seen here on this thread.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
