It’s crunch time and you’re on a budget! Where to turn? Online, of course!

In search of the perfect dress, you find a deal too good to be true. Unfortunately, it probably is. The internet can be your best friend or your worst nightmare when it comes to dress shopping. While there are a few online retailers and boutiques that will give you what is promised, a lot of counterfeit websites exist just to take your money.

Take a look at these gowns from Knock off Nightmares!

 

Honestly, we could discuss everything wrong with the dresess sent to the customer, but at the end of the day, scammers gonna scam. When ladies receive dresses like this, most of the time they cannot return it and, unfortunately, most of these counterfeit dresses are beyond repair. They’re stuck with an ugly dress, down $500, and still without something to wear.

Don’t find yourself in this situation! If you must shop online, find a reputable bridal boutique, online or in person. Here’s our recommendation: Shop Bridal Cottage!
