If you've ever been tempted by those WAY off-price shopping sites.....lol...

I admit it...sometimes I run across one of those internet shops set up with promises of gorgeous clothes that are priced a LOT lower than what you can find here. Thank goodness I was never more interested than tempted and didn't purchase anything.
But for anyone who may be tempted....hm...just as I suspected...:cheesygrin:

Behold: the promise...and what actually arrived...

This dusty pink number appeared subtle and classy (left) however in reality it was a shade of bubble gum pink with plastic crystals

This Edwardian dress appeared opulent with a full bodied shirt online (left), however in reality it was lackluster

Did this get put in the wash with the green socks? A case of colour confusion when this dress arrived,

This multicoloured gown appeared to make a statement (left) but the version that was delivered barely made a whisper

What the bride expected. Right: What arrived on the doorstep. The lace sleeves are missing the lace
Really??!! That's all?? How about it's missing the bottom skirting!! :eek: What this gal got was a shift dress!!

Anyhoodles.....good for a giggle, I hope! :)

haha

yuck and very disappointing for the buyers. I'll be sure to stay away from the temptation of ordering from any of those wanna be shops.

Lol. Thanks for sharing these pics. I have been tempted to order some gorgeous dresses(they show beautiful pictures online) online but never actually ordered any. Now these pictures proved that I made the best online decisions of my life. Lol

Oy! I know of stories of women purchasing wedding dresses, especially. The photo on the site will show the designer dress, but the knockoff is nothing like it.

Always buyer beware!

thank`s for sharing Lynn, when it's too good to be true....

It's sad to think those buyers did not get what they ordered. On the plus side. I ordered my wedding dress online (from China, it arrived in a very tiny package) and it was beautiful!!! Slightly different than what I thought it would look like, but the lace, the beading, the length, everything I loved was there... Will see if I can post a picture

Your dress was (is) gorgeous Brasileira. :thumbs_up:

And some of the other knock off dresses are so funny. Lauhed a lot seeing these pics. :lol:

@Brasileira - your dress was beautiful; so nice to know it sometimes works out so well!

This is a great site, and so interesting to read the comments

and, oh, if there are any crafters, you know what the bottom pics are - but what was ordered was the bouquet shown at the top.

Thank you Ladies :)
That Facebook page is hilarious, very sad for those who didn't have enough time to buy a replacement, but very funny
