I just wanted to share my experience with www.JasminesBridalShop.com making my sister's wedding dress. It's not my 1st time using a chinese replica site. I used Millybridal.com for my wedding dress. For full Milly experience HERE But since I knew that they have delayed many dresses before & they don't stick to their deadlines, I decided to give Jasmine's a try since I haven't found any bad reviews about them except for one which the owner of Jasmine's responded to very professionally. Communication: Excellent. Very quick to respond to your emails, answer questions and their English is excellent. They also ask questions to make sure they understand what you want. Deadlines: They gave me my mid production pictures even before the deadline & also sent the dress before the deadline. They set 10-11 weeks as their standard delivery time yet I got the dress in 9 weeks!! Quality: They have 2 grades for fabric & craftsmanship. I chose premium grade everything (which is the standard quality) and it's just amazing. Like the ones you see in bridal shops. fully lined dress, well boned bodice and a layer of tulle in the skirt lining. Lace and beading were very nice as well. Fit: The dress fits like a glove. no alterations needed what so ever. Only thing it was a little short that we had to remove the underskirt and that did the trick. The inspiration dress photo (Ellis by Sophia Tolli) Jasmine's version They even added a bustle upon my request And the veil (One tier mantilla, off white tulle with white lace just like the dress) My sister in the dress on the day Yes we're from Egypt For Arabic Speaking Brides, Jasmine's have an Arabic page on Facebook to help with the orders. Here's the link to the page: http://www.facebook.com/JasminesBridalShopArabicPage

I actually was sent close ups & the images were more detailed, the lace arrangement isn't the same as the original (as expected) but it's Ok since I won't pay either for Designer grade fabric or craftsmanship because I'm on a very limited budget & Of course I'm not paying the full price tag on the original esp that in my country it's triple the price of the same dress in the US.

Actually they use the pins so that the lace is easy to remove if I want something changed without leaving obvious marks on the fabric. When I approve the lace arrangement they're going to sew the lace in & Then if I want something changed they have to take it off ruining the fabric & I'll pay extra for alteration. About the color, I asked about that & they said it's the light in the room that gives that effect, also I saw many posts of other brides who said that I shouldn't judge the color based on their photos.

$444 USD including underskirt & shipping

Now, I ordered a Duarte dress (La Sposa) in Diamond white from Jasmine's bridal shop.. I have few concerns regarding my mid production photos. 1) The color: I think it's a bit darker than the color I wanted but I know that computer screens lie about colors. Also I know that they don't use flash when taking photos, that way they show more details. but I'll ask Lisa about that to be sure. 2) Layers: I think the skirt in the original dress had more tulle layers between the top layer ( that contains lace) and the lining. I can't see the seems of the lining in the original while I see them clearly in the replica. 3) Lace arrangement on the top: In the replica, it doesn't have that nice circular arrangement on the top as the original, it seems more random to me.

It's from Jasmine's Bridal shop. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.207696839355912.47180.121989811259949&type=3 Here's where you can buy it directly from the website: http://www.jasminesbridalshop.com/index.php?task=productdetail&id=9873

you're welcome I think you should go try on dresses 1st, decide which type of dress you like best & suits you best. Then order as soon as you can because sometimes time isn't a friend in overseas knock off world. I think you can wait till the begining of January to order but get your heart set on a dress & start trying on dresses now. Also decide on the veil.

I know that Jasmine does have a great variety of lace options & the lace on the dress I had from them as well as the lace on the veil are amazing. Here're their lace options: http://www.jasminesbridalshop.com/index.php?task=fabriclist&classid=10
