And I was going to say the same thing putney said on the other post,     Ive not heard of one person happy with a wedding dress purchased from China-     so serves you right if you order this (especially for such a special occasion) and it looks like poo.   Another point i get fed up with from Chinese manufacturers is showing pictures of garments you know are made somewhere else and not one picture of the true garment made at their factory.     Recently tried communicating with a chinese manufacturer off Alibaba (there ya go)     Had some beautiful pictures of Isabella Oliver maternity dresses up,  asked them if they could send me a picture of the true garment they made, nope.    I also know that Isabella Oliver garments are made in turkey-   step up from chinese manufacturing IMO.

As far as the competition goes the stuff you are seeing for cheaper might not even be the true product anyway.  Or you are buying from a supplier in Australia who orders from China and puts the cost up heaps but at least they provide you with the quality control.

That being said I did order an electric fly killer from China (cant get it anywhere else,  illigal i think here to sell??)   And I love it   lol.
