Has anyone seen a good knock off dress?

I made the mistake of falling in love with a 1,800 dress annnnd a 3,000 dress...Watters Bevan skirt Marlow corset with the lining and Watters Odette. My girlfriend told me to look into knock off because she has her bandage dresses made in China and they look flawless; however, a little scarier with the most important dress of your life. I found a website that has actual pictures of the dresses they've made, althoug
h they don't have pictures of the ones I want and they're only 500. I know it's a gamble and thought worst case I can get another dress last minute, but didn't want to lose on a chance to have my dream dress and was just wondering if anyone has ever seen a GOOD knock off, I know some are terrible!

I have never seen a good knockoff dress.  I've seen some good knockoff veils, but those aren't nearly as complicated.  

If you spend $500.00 on it, and still have to buy a replacement dress, will you still feel like it is worth it?

I have not and I would never buy one off a knock off site for multiple reasons. You may get lucky, but you are also contributing to the horrible working conditions some of these people have to endure.

Keep your money here.

Have you actually tried on these dresses you are in love with? Or anything similar in style? I would go to a salon, with a price point, and try on dresses, than decide.

Please don't buy knockoffs.  You are not only contributing to child labor and horrific working conditions (most likely mob connected businesses as well), but you are also causing the USA industries to raise their prices as a whole as well.

Add that to the fact that your dress may arrive as a complete disaster, and you have a whole lot of negativity attached to a garment that is supposed to be a symbol of joy.

Bridaldreamdress.com    I ordered my dress from there and it looks perfect!! It takes about 3 months to arrive because they make it by hand, but I wouldnt steer you wrong. And you can give them your measurements so less alteration costs.

That's called ordering a 'size'.
