Thinking about Buying a dress online? Think again!!

Buying is a dress online is not something I would normally do, but the deals seemed good and I figured, "What do I have to lose? I could always return it right?"
So I ordered a dress from Weddingdresses100.com. (also known as Flora's Dresses) I'm generally not very naive, but they dress looked nice and I was shocked to see dresses that I had seen on J.Crew were on this wed site as well. Well.....come to find out, after I purchased my dress that they are knockoffs and they are all made and shipped directly from China. I felt like such a fool! I really should have known better; that it was too good to be true. Besides that, the dress was poorly made, there was loose beading everywhere and worse there was a small stain right on the front of the dress.
When I inquired about returning the dress, they asked for pictures of the problems, which I gladly sent twice. Of course they were unable to see any problem and that I was not able to return the dress, plus according to them they said that they never offer full refunds. I searched everywhere and it did not state this on their site. Again, I pointed out all the flaws and their response was that I could sew the beading back on myself and they would refund me $50 to clean the dress (which I didn't understanding because they said they saw no stain.) I was upset, but more at myself for thinking this was a good idea!!! I'm just thankful that I didn't spend a lot. BUYER BEWARE, don't make the same mistake I did!

  • I'm not going to use the dress. I'm glad I didn't spend too much. I'm going to actually go shop in bridal salons now. I think I learned my lesson. Good luck!
