This review may seem a
little out-dated as I have now been married three years, but I recently was
asked for help finding knock-off dresses by a friend and found your blog. I
thought I’d contribute.
I ordered from netbride.com (formerly bridaldiscounters.com),
mainly because they seemed to have what I wanted and were the only BBB
accredited place I could find that did. I was still somewhat trepidatious. But
for the quoted price of $450, I couldn’t help myself. Plus, I couldn’t have
ordered this dress anywhere else because it had been recently discontinued.
The wedding was June
13th, and I was told to order by January 15th to get
it in time. I don’t remember if they offered rush service, as I did not wish to
pay extra for it anyway. I ordered a standard size, thinking that a lace-back
style would give me some extra tightening (I’m pretty skinny) and that with heels,
I shouldn’t have any extra length.
I ordered Bonny 661.
These pics show the full dress. I chose the short-sleeve option.
This is the dress that
arrived (two weeks later than expected, but still within an acceptable window).
It was still a bit loose in the bust as you can see in the pic with my mom, but
the detail was beautiful. I was comfortable and confident moving in it. I ended
up wearing Chuck Taylors beneath the dress, so I did need to stop and adjust
mid-aisle to avoid treading on my own hem, but that was my own no-heel choice
that caused the problem.
Being a seamstress
myself (almost made my own gown), I can say that they did a lovely job; the
dress was well-built and of high-quality for the discounted price.
