Very nice dress Koko! Are you going to wear a black dress for your wedding?

Bonnie, Your dress looks amazing and fits perfectly!

Misskim, I understand your anxiety and I don't know when your are getting married, but Babyonline is going to send your dress. They always do. However sometimes it takes a little longer than 18 days. Hope you'll have some good news and beautiful dress foor you wedding day!

jbmarch and ginger1961, both your dresses look very beautiful!

Blackkinu, I understand your happiness, it's beautiful! It looks much more delicate without the sequins.

I received my Babyonline dress! It was send by DHL and I actually received it the day after Babyonline send it and gave me my shipping number. I had to pay some tax (€ 25) and I didn’t have the cash, so I had to go to the DHL service point to fetch it.

When I unwrapped it, I found it was nicely packed and folded. They included a crinoline hoop( I didn’t even know they would) so I tried it on, and first thought there was something wrong with the sizing, but then I knew it was the hoop, that widened directly from the waist and made me look pregnant. I changed the hoop for one I already ordered and immediately it felt better. I think the dress is pretty good value for money!

When I checked it more carefully I found some flaws. For example there were some stains in the back and one layer of organza in the skirt has been sown inside out, but no one will notice. I asked Babyonline to send me some pictures before shipping and they didn’t. But I wouldn’t have notices these things anyway. I don’t think the girls I communicated with actually saw the dress, because I don’t think they work anywhere near the factory. But off course I could be totally wrong.

My mum was positively surprised, because she thought I was going to wear some shiny polyester dress that felt like plastic, but it feels pretty soft actually. It is a pretty plain dress and I am very happy with it, also considering the price (total $ 225 = dress $165+ $30 tax and $30 crinoline hoop).

I hope this information is helping other girls to decide whether or not to buy knock off, I found this thread quite helpful. And sorry my English is far from perfect, but I am not using it very much and certainly not all the wedding vocabulary…

Mocha,

Your dress looks great! It fits perfectly. Stop thinking about a seam no one will notice and start enjoying your beautiful dress that arrived just in time,

Mocha, I think prettypigpig is right, it will fit perfectly and then you can relax, more positive vibes!

Mocha, any news on your dress? Did you track it? I received my tracking number form Babyonline today, without them sending me any pictures of my dress, as promised. The tracking number seems real, so I just hope for the best.

That's really awful sweetiemuchkin. Did you contact them already? May be they can make you a new dress? It's obviously their mistake!

It looks absolutely fabulous. Thanks for the inspiration!

Mocha, SO happy for you! Can't wait to see it.

Blackkinu, love both your dresses. Fits perfectly!

Beachy, could we please see some pictures of your dress? I have also ordered my dress from Babyonline and seeing a beautiful dress would help me relax a little bit!

Mocha, very sorry to hear about your dress, It's awful, waiting for your wedding dress and not even be able to alter it before your wedding day. Are you still waiting, or did they ship your dress by now? I hope it will be in time.

Love the dress, court, and I am nothing like conservative! Maybe you can try this(sophia tolli) dress on somewehere? I think it is pretty similar.

Ginger1961,

There are knock off shoes. I know Duosheng has a dress factory and a shoe factory. You could ask a quotation by sending them a picture. I have no experience in ordering shoes myself, but I have seen a nice looking pair somewhere in this thread. Materials are probably very different and I don't think they would be as comfortable as the original de la renta's!

Gracimurano, I think your dress looks very beautiful. I know the waiting is awful. After reading this thread I have also ordered my wedding dress with babyonline. It's my only dress, so I hope it's just as amazing as your dress!
