Help Finding this Dress

KarlaJudithZ

This is my perfect dress. I found it online for $189.00. That sounds so incredibly sketchy. Plus I also read reviews on the website and saw many brides complain because they were stealing images from other websites and sending wrong sizes, all kinds of headaches. I really need help finding a shop or boutique that sells this. (I'm located in San Diego, CA. So anywhere here or in LA would be accessible to me.)

Or even if someone could help me find that brand or designer and I could work from that way. I just really want to be able to go to a place and actually try it on to see how it looks on me so I can know if it really is the one I want. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

That is a Jim Hjelm so that $189 was definitely too good to be true.

Here is a link to the real dress:

Jim Hjelms are going to run around $2500-3500 I think, so yeah, that's too good to be true.

I'm sure it's a chinese knockoff site.  Check out the link below for examples of knockoffs. They rarely end up looking like the dress in the picture or the original designer dress.

You might want to check Allure Bridals and Casablanca.  They are more budget friendly options, and Allure has a ton of beautiful lace dresses.  Mori Lee is a good option as well.  They will run you in the $900-1500.00ish range.

There are some budget friendly similar dresses from Davids Bridal

I don't know what your dress budget it, but if you want that dress you can save some money by buying it used or purchasing a sample from a store.

DON'T DO IT!!! It's a cheap fake. It's impossible to get a dress like that for $189. I almost made that mistake but lucky for me, I got some advice and in the end I did buy my dress online but from a site in Ireland and it was amazing quality.
