Wedding Dresses online

Hi just wondering has anyone ever purchased from JJshouse.com?? Unbelievable prices, but are they to good to be true??

They're knock-offs. So they're based on designer dresses, but they'll be made from much cheaper material, they'll have less boning, the fit won't be as good and there's likely to be loose threads and things. But if you were on a tight budget, you could chance it and you'd probably get a dress that looks pretty good to the untrained eye.

I was going to, but I didn't in the end. I just couldn't bear the thought of getting my dress and it not being perfect.

not always though, i bought a "knock off" dress from china, my grandmother is a dressmaker and was shocked when she saw it, it fit like a glove (but they asked for the strangest of measurements and lots of them) it was real good quality lace, real good quality silk, and not a stitch out of place, she did have to press it to get the wrinkles out though as it was tightly packed up, so if you or someone you know isn't good at that sort of thing i wouldn't recommend it.

i also bought mine the year before so i had time (and the budget) to back it up if it didn't work out, and since it did work out for me i got my gorgeous perfect wedding dress for €100. (also makes it handy for when you are never going to wear it again like me) i even used the spare budget to buy a second slightly more expensive but lighter and more comfortable evening dress from monsoon.

so when it comes to online buying i say,

be prepared for it not working out,
give it plenty of time in case it doesn't work out
budget for it not working out,
and if it does work out enjoy the quality bargain

Interesting! Do you mind if I asked where you got it from (Don't mind a PM if you don't want to say it online) as there are so so many different shops etc

its long gone now, that was in 2010.... but they probably set up under a new name/on a different website, my point is its random luck if it works or not, so don't be afraid to try just because you think you will get a lesser quality dress because sometimes you get a perfect one, so if you have the time and the money and won't be too upset if it doesn't work out i would say go for it.

I bought mine from china on ebay. The dress is chiffon, I said that I had to buy it to see and if it didn't work out I wouldn't be too much out of pocket. Dress isn't 100% the same but definitely 95%! Very impressed seeing as I only paid €38 for the actual dress and €80 in postage lol! Very happy with it, just a couple of changes like adding a small bit of detail to shoulder and taken up but that's it!

Would recommend to anyone! You can sell it on if not happy

I got a little Tea length white dress from China, I have my actual Wedding dress ordered from a shop here but I wanted something to change into late in the evening..

The only complaint I have is that the sizing is a bit off.. I ordered a 10 but what I got feels more like a 12-14.

The dress itself looks absolutely no different to the picture on the website and the quality of the fabric and detail is beautiful.. There's actually more beading and detail on it than I expected.

I'd have no problem recommending the site but order to your exact measurements.
