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


Recommended Posts

I decided at the last minute not to go with Shades of Pale and am sending my measurements Monday to Gianinar Bridal instead.  Thank you to Campbellk81 for the warning with Shades of Pale.  Very glad I saw your post before I sent them any money.

 

I will post with pictures once I receive proofs from Gianinar Bridal.

 

Thanks to all the brides who posted.

My wedding is this SATURDAY!! I am so excited. I got my dress from Shades of Pale about a month ago.. Its amazing. Exactly the dress I wanted and great fabric. I would go with them again in a heartbeat! Just letting all you brides out there know. That with them if your wedding is in may tell them it in March. I told them my wedding was the first week of april and I got the dress 2 days before my "wedding day" which would of left no time for alterations and the dresses will always need alterations. I sent my exact measurments and when I asked why it wasnt fitting me right I was told because they make everything like an inch to big. Mine was so big that the seamstress took it from a corset back to a zipper half way up. But I would def. do it all again with SOP. You just have to give them a deadline 2 months before your wedding day!

They both loved them!

Hi, ladies well it has taken me awhile to make my first post. I purchased my wedding dress well 2 wedding dresses now going on 3 from babyonline from dhgate. This has been a painful process. My inspiration dress was a lazaro pictures to follow. Now first dress was ordered over the chinese new year dress was sent with out the pictures I requested made me nervous right away. Dress finally arrived and we missing the one thing I loved the most the train, no sweetheart neckline as well beading to me looked a little cheap. So emailed right away they began the process to work out deal with me So instead of returning the first dress I was given second dress at discounted price ( afraid to return and wind up with no dress) Now process starts again once again no pictures camera was broken so I told her just inspect dress make sure there is a train she says yes there is I told her to send dress. Received dress train there but lovely black marker on dress. The skirt also does not lay flat so thats another problem. I left negative feedback I actually recieved a call from China asking me to remove and they will give me free dress (catch I have to pay for shipping) picked different dress and now in 2 weeks we will see how it turns out.

Well, my wedding dress from Shades of Pale arrived today and it was not good.  Keep in mind that I paid for "highest accuracy", which they describe as 97-99% like the inspiration dress - and this basically doubles the price from the "normal accuracy" cost.

I'm not sure how clear it is in the photos, but there are some real problems:

- The sleeves are not half-length, but full-length (and flimsy as heck, the left one has a small run in it already)

- The beading is different (this wouldn't have bothered me too much if it weren't for the other problems)

- The skirt isn't centered - it's off by at least an inch

- The shoulders were sewn onto the outside of the dress - you can see it more clearly in the image below:

That is such an unprofessional rookie mistake - I was shocked when I saw it!

 

 

Now, had I paid the normal accuracy rate I would pretty much expect what I got.  But for what I paid I think this is completely unacceptable - especially since the dress arrived past my wedding deadline of May 9th!!!  It'll be extremely expensive to get altered here, and I doubt they'd be able to finish on time.

 

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING SHADES OF PALE, I HOPE THAT YOU'LL EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.

    • 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!
    • 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!
