Photos: The wedding dresses that look stunning online but are hideous in real life

Some angry brides have shared their horror stories on social media of seeing really lovely wedding dresses online and in catalogues, only for them to see something totally different and hideous when they order the gowns and they arrive on their doorstep.

The brides usually order knockoffs from websites that offer copies of the original designer gowns because the real deals are expensive. But the knockoffs are so hideous, some brides had to postpone their weddings..lol. See photos of the original designer gowns and their knockoffs after the cut...

One bride wrote
'Ordered a wedding dress...the thing came in made of God knows what for the lining....weighed a tonne! Never have I put anything (except perhaps the dentist's teeth apron for teeth xrays perhaps) that weighed so much. Trying to get it returned seems to take an act of congress!' Lol

They are buying of Ebay and the likes cos of budget that why. Cos if you go to the actual designer, it is as beautiful as it looks. The first dress in the pic is a Couture, and the real thing is very beautiful depending on your body type,but it's quite pricy

That's serious.....online sales are becoming sth else.....u see sth gorg online and when it is delivered u see sth completely different...its bad.

This happens when you buy your wedding gown from a chinese website/company. They usually use the real designer pictures and then sow their own for the customer.

if you have to buy a wedding dress on line, ensure you send in your measurement with their specification. try using a good tailor that understands the pattern of what YOU want. Size 10 doesn't mean same, we have different body shape..

Did they consider shape? it is part of the fitting measures. If the model has ample bust and booty and your is as flat as pancake how would you expect to get same fitting?
I can only understand if you ordered a thing and you got a different thing. or when the delivery is of wrong specification.
