My Lilac Wedding Dress

swagandmoxie · May 2015

I wanted a dress of color that looked like a wedding dress, not a prom dress or evening gown. So I went the crazy route and ordered my dress over the internet from China ( *! gasp !* I KNOW!) I picked a site that had a "Real Dress Showroom" that showed their version of the dresses they had made. I sent a photo, my color choice and measurements to them 02/06/2015 and my dress came last Friday 05/01. My wedding is a month from today. (My daughters are my Maid and Matron of Honor and a friend's daughter will be a bridesmaid escort for my 12 year old grandson. They are wearing white!) What do you think?

I like the purple.

What Chinese knockoff site did you use?

And thank you southernbelle0915.... I am so happy with it.

You're welcome. I hope it fits and looks nice.

If it does, you probably got lucky. This is more the experience most people have with Chinese knockoff sites: http://www.buzzfeed.com/juliegerstein/heres-why-you-should-never-buy-a-knock-off-wedding-dress-onl#.yt2kWOb0m

It does fit well and I measured tight in February because I've been working out with a trainer. I had seen those awful "knock-off" dresses so I was really careful who I chose to get my dress from and passed on a few places because of that. What I liked about the place I went with is the pictures they showed side by side of their version next to what they were asked to copy. I exchanged emails with them a few times before I gave them my payment info. I can't say it's perfect because I would have liked a paler lilac and I did ask for ivory lace .... the lace on my dress looks pretty white... but after going to David's and 2 higher end stores and the only dress I liked AT ALL was over $1000 I'm really, really happy with my dress and feel it's worth every penny of the $340 I paid.
