Wholesale Wedding Dresses

d&k2013

Hey!

Has anyone ever bought a wholesale dress? I'm debating on it (I haven't looked at any dresses in stores but I would go there, then look online). Has anyone ever done this? Would you suggest or NOT suggest doing it? Also, what website?  Thanks!

Also, I'm from Oklahoma City... Anyone have any suggestions for a church that is pretty, reasonable, you don't have to be a member, and holds about 400 people? Thanks!

I think by wholesale, you mean, online knockoffs.  Don't do it.  Read the sticky at the top of the page about buying from chinese "wholesalers".  You will likely regret that decision.

if you are on a budget, consider buying a preowned dress.

If you scroll down just a little bit, read the post from another bride for weddingdressbee.com disaster!    People have really horrible experiences with these knockoff gowns.    The dress in the picture on the website isn't what you actually receive. It is a seamstress in a factory in china somewhere trying to recreate the dress based on a photo.  

You will likely end up with a dress that is ill fitting, very poor fabric quality, often, half finished.

you will likely end up spending a couple hundred dollars and have to go out and buy a new dress anyway because the one you bought from China are unwearable.
