As someone who just had to do a bunch of online dress shopping for a gala, allow me to try and explain: First, a lot of these sites that send you trash aren’t actually dirt cheap. You can find yourself spending $200-$300 on something only for it to end up looking like that. Second, the way these sites sometimes look is as if they are carriers for lesser known designers. They look like online boutiques and it can be hard to tell it’s just a drop shipping operation out of China. Third, and I think this is most important, especially for those who don’t often have the opportunity to wear expensive clothing, it can be very hard to tell what is a reasonable price to expect for a garment as depicted. There’s a general belief that a lot of expensive clothing has insane markups and so when they see the fake “sale” price with whatever excuse and countdown attached, they think they’re getting themselves a good deal on something that would usually sell for more. Thing is - it IS possible to find nice things from the nameless factories overseas if you understand their pricing. After all, they are the same factories that build a lot of our more expensive brand name clothing. But not everyone has the skills to read between all the lines and figure out what will be good and what wont be.

So if the big social media companies don't give a crap and aren't removing the scammers how is anybody supposed to know or trust if what they're buying is real. I don't even trust half the stuff on Amazon. Have some company names are a bunch of consonants tied together and you can't really trust the reviews.

Ladies , listen to the host and don't be fooled by scammers. I live in Europe, in a post-communist country that was once literally flooded with fakes. That's why we know this topic and women don't fall for such "promotions". We know that a designer dress costs money. They are fooling you because this is a new topic for you! A country flooded with Chinese fakes. Please listen to the sewing master and either save up for something original or sew something from a loyal specialist. As you can see, it doesn't have to be Dior - there are plenty of talented designers who sew on a smaller scale. It pisses me off that so many wonderful women have their important events ruined by scammers and fake deals. So don't be fooled. Be reasonable - don't expect a miracle for pennies! Yes, you can only find it in a second-hand shop.

What goes into most garment costs (basic general overview): - the labour cost of the garment/print design team - the labour cost of the pattern drafter - labour cost of person doing the tech pack (basically, blue-prints & material specs to send to factories for EACH garment - cost of raw materials (fabric, thread, embellishments like beads, etc) - the cost of garment construction labour (fabric weaving/knit factory staff, dye factory staff, cutting staff, sewing staff, etc) - cost of shipping samples back to design company to do quality checks - cost of shipping to wholesale and/or direct retail warehouses - 2x markeup of final cost for wholesale or retail - AND then 2x markup of cost again if there's a wholesale to retail pipeline.... It's usually the labourers in the garment dyeing/construction facilities (& often the farmers of raw materials, like cotton) that get hardcore shafted for pay to ensure that us consumers can afford the price point of a brand's clothing....so you can imagine what the garment workers who make a $150 prom dress were paid. Every. single. garment. in your average mall retail store has to go through this process. Every one on the rack. As a general rule, the more seams a garment has (and the more external decorative elements it has, like embroidery, beads, or pleats) the more costly it is to make. Indie designers who produce most of the labour in their locale tend to get creative to off-set labour costs. Made-to-order and local material sourcing to (reduce shipping costs) are popular work-arounds, to keep the price-point reasonable. Sincerely, a fashion design student.

This is excellent advice. Everyone who shops for clothes online should hear this message. And there is another consideration here as well. If a website is selling you a $2000 dress for $300, then you need to ask yourself, "Under what conditions was this dress made?" This type of fast fashion is usually made in unsafe sweatshops in which women are working 12-hour days and getting paid a pittance. These companies are going for volume of sales. Just sell as many as possible until buyers finally wise up. And where do all those nasty dresses--invariably made of polyester--end up? In landfills where it will take thousands of years for them to finally decompose. These online companies are a nightmare for the environment, for their labor pool and for their naïve customers .

I've actually seen clothing from a U.S fitness influencer that designs active wear. When I went to her website she listed a size 12 as XXL. So we should be mindful of looking at the sizing and size charts (which include measurements) no matter what the item of clothing is. But when it comes to gowns and dresses I'd want to see them in person aka in store.

I have altered SO many dresses where that happened: they thought the gown was bespoke, but no, it was just "off the rack" size even though the fabric may have been custom dyed. Find out what you will get! Also a fine quality gown will have huge seam allowances. If the seams are narrow and serged, beware! order a size up.,

This blows my mind… obviously it was not the original designer, but to think you are getting the “designer “ version for a fraction of the cost would be laughable if it weren’t such a nightmare end result. On the other hand whether the dress is a knock off or custom design who is measuring these gals??? Even before I schedule an appointment I ask a few questions as you did. Like does it fit / zip…. Etc. And what size do you normally wear/ what size is the dress. Just to get a heads up. And request pics as you & most of us in the biz would do. But even a custom dress “is a size”. It might be a 20, with curves… top, bottom or both, shorter waisted… etc. I’ve had gals tell me they wear a med/ lg. depending on style but they weigh about 220+ & very curvy… (By the way I never ask their wt) but can usually come pretty close. If that’s the case they do not wear a med anything!! Only curious do these girls guess their measurements??? No designer/ seamstress/ specialist could be that far off that the dress needs a ft added to it so the wearer can actually breathe let alone zip up…. Just a thought?? As far as the dress … I think you said it was from Africa. It was beautiful fabric, and a very nice design… a little bigger gal w/ curves but she chose wisely & and looked great!! I think the solid color for the corset back seemed an odd choice of color. Obviously not my opinion that counts but the other fabric was such a beautiful color/ print . I would’ve thought that they would’ve picked a color in the print for the back panels and corset. ❤ love your channel… You are a great problem solver❤

Due to the fast fashion explosion over the last 20 years, people got "quality blind". Like barley anyone know what's the difference between a knit and a woven fabric, what's good workmanship, even what "looks" expensive (like here in the video) and the actual costs of making clothes.

Have everyone who buys a knock off sew a dress. Then you understand the time, talent, fabric and vision it takes! If you wannabe paid for your time and creative energy you should pay others as well. Also-buy used!

I have to feel the fabric, and try it on for proper size.

True BUT advertising something and sending something very different is FRAUD. Many online shops do it but that does not make it right. Also, pinching a photo of a designer item is in breach of copyright.

Hard to say she was misled by the photo when it wasn’t even the original designer 🥴

Always check their Email address and tracking. Possibly, the dress came from China .l have learned that the hard way.

You have to be really careful with measurements. Most people don't know how to measure themselves.

Im not saying this to be rude, but all of these is just play stupid games wins stupid prizes. ITS DEFINITELY MORE THAN OKAY if youre using cheaper alternatives, or like dupe bcs thought of $2k is just too much for a dress, its okay. Its NOT OKAY when yall keep buying things out from the official websites with MUCH CHEAPER than the og price (when you know yourself that how much it is cost originally) and then comes forward with how yall not getting what yall want. Yall be paying for $200 for a $2k dress, what do yall expect tbh?

She has no regard for the lives of the people who sew the inexpensive garbage she bought, who are often enslaved, nor the environmental impacts of fast fashion, so I don’t feel a bit sorry for her.
