Hello
My inspiration dress was Tara Keely 2056 and I ordered from Jasmines Bridal Shop. It cost about $600 with designer's grade lace, added length train and also veil with matching lace.
Inspiration dress

my replica dress

Here is replica dress. I made some changes, as I wanted no crystals, add a button detail on front. I bought mine from the designer Jeff Liu after I read about him in a bridal book. He is the seller on ebay April's Bridal.
He nailed my dress & I LOVED it! But, one thing I always tell girls before they buy from China, is that lace dresses, or dresses with alot of beading are VERY hard to replicate. Jeff Liu was able to do such a great job on my dress because he followed the silhouette. If I would of wanted it like the orinal, the crystals would of been whatever he could find, and the dress wouldn't of looked like the original.
Here is my wedding dress for $183!!!
First is the orginal (with the crystals) then mine hanging & on the wedding day.



I had a replica made. My dress was the Cosmobella 7413:

This is what I wore on that day. I had the dress done in a champagne color and a deep v back.

I have to say the quality of the dress is superb!
gorgeous dresses!!! Jasmine's seems to do an incredible job. Thank you so much for starting this thread, brilliant!
@ay_rad: i think your replica looks so stunning compare to original dress:))
Ok I am going to do a thread revival cos I was just looking at a model vs real thread and was like hmmmm can't join in maybe I should start one for replicas and lo and behold there already was one. :)
Ok here's my inspiration:

And my replica: (never mind the bunched up dress that was cos it was stinking hot and I wanted in and out if the dress quickly... I do have much more flattering pics of it just not on this computer :))
Sorry for some reason I couldn't upload all the pics in one post?? Crazy computer hahaha
@amooney3: It's not from Jasmine. It's from Taobao. A China based website here's the website for it
@YSQueen: Where did you purchase your dress? It looks AMAZING!
@daiday003: My replica was done by IeIe Bridal. They are actually located here in the US.
Here is the original Maggie Sottero Reese followed by my Jasmine's Bridal replica

I see a lot of brides ordering replica dresses, and I'm curious about it myself for when the time comes, but it makes me a little nervous not knowing what the quality will be like. For you ladies that have already gotten replica dresses, please post pictures of the inspiration dress and what you received! And please say which replica company you chose as well!
