Shenanigans or what? you be the judge.

Ladies,

I just got an actual picture of my dress that the bridal salon said they had (a sample) the actual gown and not a replica. Here is a link of the dress.

And here are the pictures they sent me without the detachable train:











Please help me decide if this is the same dress or a knockoff?

    The front looks pretty dead on from what I can see.  Can't tell from the back.  Carla, have you checked this place out with the Better Business Bureau?  See if they have any complaints against them.  That might help a little.

    From what I can see it looks the same too... but I agree with Simbidi to check with the BBB and see what the say. Whats the name of the place? Maybe one of us knows something about them...

    Also, did you try that place TyBoyd talks about, Pearl Place? You may have already posted about this and I just need to read down...

    Thanks Ladies,

    I called Pearl's Place and they do not carry the Christina Wu line. I will see if I can find reviews and check BBB.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Ms. April,

    For some reason the wedding wire page always crashes but I read the other reviews. The BBB gave them an A- rating ranging from A to F. Not bad! And most of the negative reviews where about customer service and not the quality of the dresses.

    I just want to be really careful ordering a dress. I've read so many horrer stories.

    Maybe post on the Cali board to see if any of those knotties have dealt with the store? I did that before when I was looking at a dress in NC and everyone was very helpful
