It didn't turn out well!! the seller used jasmine's pictures and guaranteed it to look exactly as pictured. the kind of got the bodice right but definitely not the skirt. they tried twice and failed both times. i believe i posted pictures here already. they did refund my money though.

I was just looking at her dresses on etsy! i'm thinking about buying a gemma replica from her after my dhgate failure. Can you tell me how the fabric is after you receive it?

I think it's the enzoani diana

Yes i've been through this thread up and down and I've seen all their great reviews. The point is they did not make Kittyinheels dress correctly and don't want to take responsibility for it. The flaws may be small, but they could have owned up to it and admitted it wasn't designer grade work. So in the end if I were in the same situation I would file a dispute because their great reviews are not going to fix the problems of my dress. And having ruching and embellishments to hide flaws doesn't make me feel any better about jasmines. Also I didn't buy from them because they were too expensive, not because I was super worried about the quality of the dress I wanted since they made it before. Though Kittyinheels makes me a bit wary about their designer grade quality and craftsmanship.

i wrote a long post this morning regarding my dhgate seller with pictures and it went to moderation. ive never had posts go there? is it because of the pictures?

So I received my red gemma knock off pics from my DHGate seller. Though the bodice looks great, the skirt is kind of a mess! Hahahaha I guess that's what I get for trying to find a cheaper dress. Though this seller used Jasmine's pictures, but could not deliver the same dress. I asked too, because I knew the pictures were Jasmine's and they said they could make it 100% the same. Though the seller was very patient and super nice, they really shouldn't advertise what they can't deliver, especially since I asked specifically. If they had said they could make it about 100% in the bodice and 50% in the skirt like the picture then I would have gone in w/ those expectations and been satisfied, but my expectation was 100% and they did not meet those expectations. Also she said she couldn't give me a refund on her end, I would have to start the process, but DHGate has no mechanism for this on my side unless I actually receive the item. I think it's a load of BS. I just filed a dispute w/ my CC, the seller should confirm it. Thank god this was not my real dress!!! Hahahahaa I would be super pissed off right now, but it was just a reception dress. I may just end up not wearing on and keeping my wedding dress on all night. So beware!!

Wow I almost went w/ them for a reception dress from all the great reviews! But they were too cost prohibitive. If it's w/in 6 months and you paid through credit card I would call your credit company and dispute $300 of the charge. They misrepresented their product in my opinion and are trying to blame you. You can send your cc company all those photos as proof. The shoddy sewing I would expect from a ebayed dress but not for 600 bucks.

no i never got it made. i was going to use an etsy seller that i think could have done a decent job, but it was going to cost $900. it was going to be my reception dress so my limit was around $300. i ended up going w/ a gemma replica from a dhgate seller. it's still in the process of being made.

Have you tried DH Gate? I've heard good things about babyonline (a seller on there). I'm considering them for my TTD shoot too. But I've not seen pictures of their lace dresses so I'm a bit hesitant. Their other work seems okay though.

Has anyone ordered a lace dress from babyonline before? How's the quality? I'm thinking about going through them for my TTD shoot because they are so cheap, but I don't want the lace to look like crap! Thanks!

Wow that is really almost identical. I'd say only that the pleating on the bodice seems less stiff and a bit more delicate on the original, but I think i like the ruffles more on the replica! you look great!

Wow great dress!! i've been looking at their gemma replica as well and deciding whether I need to do the upgrade or not. Thanks for posting pics of standard quality!

looks great! thanks for posting!

Thats odd why cant i see the attachment. I get an error saying i dont have the right permissions?

What photographer did you use?? I'm not having a destination wedding, but would love to do a trash the dress shoot at a cenote, they're awesome! I figure if I can't resell the dress a few months after the wedding I'd do the shoot!

I totally had this problem too! Which is why I i always knew i would only buy a strapless dress, because anything w/ straps or any V neck type of dress, it's impossible to tell what it would look like. You really are taking a gamble!

I've been stalking this forum and also wedding bee for a seamstress to make a Lazaro 3201 inspired gown: http://www.jlmcouture.com/Lazaro/Bridal/Spring/2012/Style-3201 So for I think I've talked to every chinese company on this board. Coral's and Dressilyme said they couldn't do it. Milly's, Jasmine, Vivian, and Fabulous U all said they could. I'm leaning toward Fabulous U because Tony's been so responsive, but I'm not sure how the dress will turn out. I've also spoken to Etsy sellers Tami and Wendy both also said they could make the dress too, but at a much higher cost than the chinese companies. I'm just not sure what to do! Especially since this is going to be my reception dress and not my main dress. I might end up scrapping the whole idea and just buying a Gemma replica since those seem to have been done very well. Help!!!

I'm absolutely in love with the lazaro 3102 from the spring collection for my reception dress. And I've looked around to have it replicated. http://www.jlmcouture.com/Lazaro/Bridal/Spring/2012/Style-3201 I've contacted Jasmine, Duosheng, Milly's, Dressilyme, Fabulous U and Coral's. I though Coral's was my best shot since they look like they have really good lace on their site and they've made a similar skirt but they said they couldn't do it. Dressilyme also said they could not make the dress. Everyone else said they could. I just don't know whom to go with. Anyone know which shop is better w/ alencon lace and textured skirts? Also I wanted it made in a deep red...

My original budget was around 1800. But then I knocked it up to 3k because I found a paloma that was perfect! But when I tried it on, it just wasn't it. Then I found my dress the enzoani fatima for 2600. That dress knocked out even this 5k lazaro that had everything I wanted. I'm glad I didn't buy it that day though because I found a cheaper version of it from enzoani's blue line. So my dress actually ended up being 1600, but I spent another 300 on this awesome belt from enzoani! So I pretty much stuck to my budget even though I went back and forth a bit. So I'd say shop around for a designer's cheaper line because they come out with similar dresses. The only difference between the 2 enzoanis was that the fatima had more tulle so it was a slightly fuller skirt (which can be easily fixed w/ a slip) and the dress I ordered add some pleating around the waist which I liked more than the fatima.
