Gown Quandary!

My fellow knotties :) - I'm not sure if what i'm about to ask is taboo in any form but i'm in serious need of advice! I have this great book called "Bridal Bargains" which offers a lot of good wedding resources. One of its suggestions is to consider ordering your gown from China, as you'll get a similar quality to the lower end of the bridal gown spectrum like David's or Alfred Angelo. Just this morning I found a gorgeous re-creation of a Carolina Herrerra dress that would've set me back a cool 3 g's but on the website is offered for the low, low price of 500! So in your wise and honest opinions, should I take the risk and buy this awesome dress or go for an authentic gown? Has anyone had experience purchasing a dress from overseas?Meg

  • I had a HORRIBLE experience with a dress from China dn have heard NOTHING but bad things from brides who have gone that route. :(

  • Honestly, I don't think a lot of the dresses from China look like they would be the same quality as Davids or AA. You can look for a seamstress in your area to see how much it would cost to have one custom made for you - it usually isn't as much as you think.
