Online qipao vendors

I was wondering whether anyone had bought theirs online and recommended any particular online vendors.  Goodorient.com and http://www.oriental-cheongsam.com/ look like reputable sites to me whereas other sites I'm not so sure of.  The prices seem a lot better than what you can buy in a real store in the states though I have a feeling that the fabric is probably of lesser quality.  I looked in Flushing and the prices seem to be $250 and up, and online $150 and down.  I don't think it matters so much to me as I'll wear it only for a few hours.Any suggestions?

    That's funny because I posted something similar sometime ago. Here it is if you would like to read people's responses: [url]http://chineseweddings.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=60214222[/url] I ended up going with efushop.com and I love how it turned out. They have a nice range of fabrics and patterns online and have really great communication. I paid $121, and will need slight alterations since the hip was a bit wide (I believe that was because my seamstress measured me over my jeans). So the alterations will cost another $30. Overall I am thrilled - I think you would be hard pressed to find a physical store that will sell you a custom dress with your selected fabric, style, and measurements for under $150 in NY.

    i ordered from EFUSHOP too and i loved my cheongsam! there are a few pics in bio for your reference.  they shipped my dress to me faster than expected and the quality was great.  overall my dress was a lil loose but that's b/c my mom measured my waist a bit loose , but it wasn't a big difference and my tailor easily took it in. i spent about $120 also.
