Replica Gowns VS Original Designer Styles

  1. Nothing says it better than seeing pictures! I am an alterations specialist and have had to work on these gowns. Most are just terrible! Inferior workmanship and fabrics is the standard for these replica dresses. Some have stains on them and have an odor.

    The alterations end up costing brides more than what it would have cost to alter the designer original. This is because you have to fix crooked seams, lopsided skirts, replace zippers, re-tack tucks, add gussets to make the too small dress fit,etc. Plus after finishing the alterations the gown still has wrinkles pulls and crinkles that shouldn't be there because of not having the proper under structure. So the bride ends up spending a lot of money on a wedding gown that she will not look her best in for her wedding day!
