This is my first post in The Dress board.I am very early in my planning and looking for my wedding dress. I heard about websites like netbride.com and pearlsplace.com as selling the same dress in boutiques but cheaper. I don't know they can afford it but I guess due to the sheer volume of orders they can stay in business. I haven't heard anything bad about them yet from any of the boards but I wanted to make sure.Also, I ran across houseofdress.com on another board, and they're based in China and make replicas. They don't scare me like other international imitation dress makers do because their English seems to be good. (Apparently an indication they're more or less professional.) But does anyone have any experience with them? Or have any thoughts?
