    that photo would have started out on an original designers website and the dress will be hundreds of pounds, what that website does is copy designer dresses, very cheaply so cheap material, not as good eye for detail etc
    I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p

    Indeed, there are tons of similar dress 'knock-off' sites out there which make 'fake' designer dresses for a fraction of the price. You could certainly take the risk if you're trying to be MS, but you may end up with an absolute shocker - and from what I read while I was looking into buying my dress, the more complex/delicate the design, the worse the end result tends to be. That said, I've also seen some good ones - but you are gambling with your money (and it can be quite hard to get your money back sometimes from these sites, it seems).

    I personally also have an issue in principle with these sites as they are effectively ripping off the designers, but that's an aside. ;)

    Thank you - I have no real issue with them 'robbing' deisgners - I feel £1000 + for a dress is a 'rip off' too! That aside, I really can not decide. I do know of a couple of people who have ordered on the internet with no problems, but I was trying to find someone who has ordered specifically from this site.

    I'm gonig to try some dresses on in a real shop on Friday, maybe that will persuade me differently!
