Has anyone bought a replica wedding dress online? From DHGate.com?

I have discovered DHGATE from a wedding blog I was reading about wedding dress scams. They said this is one of the recommended sites for discounted gowns. It is like ebay but I believe it's based out of Asia. There have gorgeous dresses in the $150 range, the particular seller I was looking at was Earlybird01, he has over 700 reviews at 100% so if it is like ebay then that sounds promising to me. I think how it works is that he finds dresses online and makes them himself or "his team" There are ton's of sellers online and I read the reviews some were really bad so I wouldn't go with them, Earlybird had the most and best revews...So has anyone used this site and what was your experience?

I have some mad money so I'm thinking the $150 is worth the risk. What do you think??

Post pics if you have them!

    What does it look like underneath? Is the bottom detachable? I think it's pretty!

    I would just be careful with online chinese shops, I have ordered from 2 and ended up super unhappy and out of money after ordering from them. I didn't order from DHgate, I would just look at reviews that have photos so you can see that the dress truly looks like the photos. Also some unsolicited advice, stay away from Hebeos, I ordered 2 dresses from them in hopes that one of them would work out, the dresses I received were completely different looking dresses- MAYBE same kind of style but not the exact dress. Light in the Box is also scammy, I would stay away from them for sure..

    That was me, I wasted money on 2 dresses from Hebeos- there went 400 dollars. Then I ordered a dress from Amazon- there went 100 dollars, then ordered a dress from Light in the Box and canceled before it even shipped and there went 61 dollars because they only refunded a part of the money. I then went and bought a dress at a sample sale that I absolutely fell in love with and spent 740 dollars (Orginally 1700 dollars). I wish I would have just gone to a bridal shop from the get go instead of wasting quite a bit of money at these Chinese chop shops..

    I have not but beware of Rebegown.com! Do NOT buy from this company!! I placed a CUSTOM order for a wedding dress with EXACT measurements & paid extra for this service to ensure there would be no problems with the dress fitting. Custom measurements should fit perfectly! Once I received it & tried on, i was baffled at how bad it fit. I ordered a 2 piece dress. The top wouldn’t button all the way up, skirt was 2 inches too long even with my heels on, the lace had been sewn together in the arms improperly. Not to mention, the dress doesn’t look like the pics on their website. I contacted them right away & they asked for pictures so I sent them. After a week & 1/2 back & forth with customer service, I was on a time crunch so had to get a dress elsewhere. Asked for a refund & they told me no since the dress had already been shipped. I even read their return policy prior & they state no refunds if you “don’t like the dress or change mind”...this was neither case for me, their tailor didn’t make the dress according to measurements provided which was no fault of my own but the company itself! The dress fit terribly with no way of fixing since fabric would’ve had to be added. This place is a SCAM & had no intent to make things right. Also, customer service is horrible & nowhere is the customer informed they’re based out of China until AFTER you purchase! That cost me more money due to having to pay rush shipping. BUYER BEWARE!! If you want a stress free wedding or event & not get ripped off, DONT ORDER FROM REBEGOWN.COM!! Scammers!! I’m leaving this review everywhere possible so others won’t be just as disappointed as me.

    I ordered a custom sized wedding dress from Dhgate on Friday the 11th of this year I sent them my measurements and I would ask them if they could make the dress in burgundy as well as giving them an Idea of what I want done to the dress. The seller I purchased the dress from are nice caring and they are always answer my questions and they send updates on how far along they are on my dress I can't wait for it to arrive once i get it I will post a picture of it the name of the seller I bought from is Lindaxu90 on Dhgate she is awesome.
