I've found some beatiful gowns offered through online retailers for a fraction of the cost. I realize they are knock offs but am wondering if anyone has personal experiences. I've found one dress that would be less than $200. I'm not getting married until sept. 2012 so i have time. I'm thinking of going to try on dresses similar to the one i'm in love with to see if the style suits me. If I order it and it's not what I expected, i'm only out $200, and maybe it will be just perfect and will save myself over $1000. On the other hand, my fiance says there's a better chance that I'll be unsatisfied and then we're out an extra $200 that could have went to the chair covers I really want to get and that I should just go with the real, sure thing, even if it costs $1500. What is your opinion, worth the risk?
