Soooo I am basically a nutcase & didnt like any dresses I tried on in the 6 bridal shops I visited… So I decided to go the route of having replicas made in China. I currently have 2 dresses in production with Jasmines Bridal Shop that just begun so while I am anxiously waiting, I decided what the hell, why not buy a dress off DHgate.com and see just what kind of quality you can get for a $286 dress.
I was SHOCKED by the quality and how well made it is. It is a little off from the photos and I think its their version of the Inbal Dror, but it is a BEAUTIFUL dress!!! So here it is ladies… What do you think?

@O.My.Heart: Thank you! I was surprised at how nice it is. Its heavy and well made. For brides who cant afford the typical 1-2k dress, this is an option!

@Kings7911: My plan is basically to keep them all, try them all on when I have all 3 and decide then which i love & see what my family thinks. Then I will sell the 2 I dont wear. I run an ebay store selling cosmetics so I am very familiar with Ebay & used to sell my prom dresses on there as a teenager:)

I have been wondering about DHGate.com. Is it all around reputable, or does it kind of depend on the seller? Your dress turned out great.

@EffieTrinket: It all depends on the seller I think. Its sort of like a chinese ebay. So you can get a shittty shitttty dress made, or you can get a nice one. This seller actually has a lot of their own photos of the actual dress on manequins so I felt a bit safer with that. They also have 100% feedback… I will say the dress is NOT 100% like the photo they had… The lace is a bit different and the back is not clasp like the photo — but honestly for $280, the dress could pass as a 1k dress. It is very well made and fits well.

@Barbiestylez: Wow that looks great! I actually like this a lot better than the original! :O How is the boning? Does it feel sturdy? And which user/store on DHgate did you buy it from?

@TessaZ: I didnt notice the boning be hard — It just felt comfortable and literally fit like a glove. I would need minimal measurements:) It does feel sturdy… Just like any dresses I tried on in stores. I used the seller

@heavenslight: Im not sure yet. I have two replicas being made from JBS that I wont receive until probably December-January so when I get them all in I will try them all on and compare. This dress is beautiful though, and I may wear it!! I just cant decide until I see the other dresses in person. I will sell whichever dresses I dont end up wearing though!
