The maggiesottero original will more than likely be in 100% pure Duchess satin (which retails around £30-£40 per meter)And there is a MASSIVE differencde to this silk fabric opposed to synthetic. It is thick and luxurious. When ordering copies, what you normally get is a copy of the style. Many of these big designers have fabric houses that are exclusive to them so having the exact "sparkle" on your gown will undoubtedly be different. Similar, but different. Much like embroideries, laces etc. They are not redily available to the general public/manufactures.

Thanks Linda

I've seen it on eBay and im tempted to buy the original second hand as at least i know its going to be exactly the same as the one in the shop!!

number 3 is lighter than the bottom right but darker than bottom left.
The milly swatch for burgundy is the same as bottom right.

Number 3 on the actual landy chart is much darker than on the picture of the landy chart.

Jay jay what did you think of the Milly swatches? Are the colours good?

Lindaweiwei I would like to see your pics of the dress you received and the real one if possible. Please put them on here if you can?

Madfrenchgirl thanks for posting your swatch and getting JayJay to look at it. The bottom right colour is what I am after from Milly so feeling a bit more confident about the colours now, Tiger x

they're okay, i prefer the landy ones though as there's more of a variety of colours.
The milly swatches are good but there is no happy medium between the reds with milly, with landy there are a few different reds (as with all the colours) to choose from for me.

lindaweiwei you don't have to post the same thing in every landy thread.. it seems a bit like spamming.
If you're a genuine user you may want to stop posting in every landy post about how "bad" they are.

Flippin eck I thought you were talking about me then? lol.

I orded one dress from Landy, but I have to say the quality and service is so-so. Since international department didn't reply my email in few days, then i called them and turned to national department(I'm chinese) to order one dress.

After 2 months waiting, i received the pics from Landy before they shipped it out. THen the nightmare started. I was so shock that the dress was changed so much, it didn't look like the original pic at all!!! I even didn't recegnize it when I saw the pics. And the belt was dark grey, who will use this color on the ivory wedding dress!! And also other small problems, of course, i complained a lot, then Landy promised me that they would adjust the dress and change the belt, then they spent ONE month...when i received it, I realised that What all Landy did during ONE month was only changing the belt...but the belt still had problem, one side was higher than the other side...Then i also found that in the front there was one flower at right side but nothing at left side. I hope no body could really see the difference on my wedding this June.

However, I even paid more than the price on the website just for what they said--brand quality...(because i was told clearly that the price on the website was just for standard quality, if i want something better, they had brand quality. It sounds good, so i went for brand quality) then you know what happened, when i received the dress, i was informed by DHL to pay import tax and VAT, because they put one commercial invoice inside the pakage but told me that nothing in the package, which mentions value 43 USD..Nobody trusts this value, but pretty sure this is the commodity already, then i need to prove how much i paid, then pay the import tax!!!112euros.

OK, these are all not big deal, but i have to say the service is so bad, you never know what happened, you always need to ask them whether it is shipped out or not, otherwise, you never get the trading code.

I'm not telling something bad at back of Landy, honestly, I have seen many good comments. So maybe I am just unlucky. If anyone wants, I could send you pics to show you how different between the real dress and original pic.

Ok, lets pick this one apart.

Quality and service so so. Well, no offence but if you don't want to pay the full price for the original, you aint gonna get something of mega high quality for peanuts. (no offence ladies because I know your views on this)

If the dress was changed to a degree it was not what you ordered then you are entitled to a full refund. if you do not order swatches and simply rely on the colours on screen, your not gonna get what it says on the tin. Not rocket science.

Import taxes, again not rocket science, you need to do your homework on this as many ladies here have.

Basically, many ladies here order from Landy because of the prices. Nothing wrong in that, but, if you want the best, you gotta go where the best is being sold. And as much as there are bad reviews about Landy/milly there are good ones, much like there are good/bad reviews about Pronuptia and I guess, top designers too.

Thanks honey , yes they do have fewer colours, the 1's you got from milly, were they like they look online? I've ordered our my dress in lavender and my dd's in baby pink, we will be so girly.

I wonder if lindaweiwei might be along soon to advise us of a better place to order from, I will be surprised if the pic's requested materialise, I do apologise if you are genuine, but there seems a lot of spammers around at the moment.

xJayJayx

i agree i also apologise if you are not a spammer, i was waiting for her to give us a better company haha.

Yes the reds were almost identical, but it depends on the resolution of your screen really hun. I hope your dresses turn out how you want them x

Glad it wasn't just me JayJay. Thanks for the info re the colours. I'm sure I will keep you updated in the next few month's re the dresses. I keep looking at the pic's of the flowergirl dress I asked them to copy & I absolutely love it so will be on tenterhooks till I get them.
