  A lot of designers only authorize brick-and-mortar stores to sell their dresses, so most websites selling them are fakes.  There are a few websites (Pearl's Place, RK bridal, Jay's Bridal, to name a few) that have physical, brick-and-mortar stores which are authorized to sell the dresses, and then they have websites on top of that to reach a larger market.  THOSE are real dresses. 
  
  A good rule of thumb is to look at the price.  If it's too good to be true, it usually is.  Any website selling dresses for that cheap is selling replicas of the original dress.  Designers usually have a base price at which the retailers can NOT go belowwithout breaking their contract, so that's that.
  
  If you're looking to get an actual designer's dress and not just a replica, and you want to save a lot, I would recommend going through oncewed.com or preownedweddingdresses.com.  Those are girls who are selling their authentic gowns after having worn themo nce (for their wedding) or not at all (got a new dress, called off the wedding, whatever).  You can save a bundle that way.

  I purchased my Casablanca from Jay's (at a discount) and also got a free veil and free shipping.  You should really look on their site.  Also, Maggie's are never sold that cheaply.  Maggie gowns have a bottom price that no salon or website can go under.  Good luck!

  Ignorance is a poor defense.
