Why Not to Buy a Fake Designer Wedding Dress
|
Ever done anything unethical, immoral or illegal? If you’ve bought a fake designer wedding dress, you might have done all three. If you haven’t bought one but have been tempted, here’s how to avoid being duped, and why if something seems too good to be true it’s usually because it is.
We all know that replicating designs is against copyright laws and that fake, replica or counterfeit goods are illegal. Many of us have been so seduced by the promise of a designer dress for a ridiculous price that we’ve given in to temptation and parted with our hard earned cash – only to realize too late that we’ve been conned. It is estimated that the market for counterfeit goods could account for as much as 10% of world trade.
Fake Designer Wedding Dress Online
For those who have given in to temptation, their saving is in many cases, their loss as the cheap dress is often very different to the original in terms of material, workmanship and fit. Brides who buy online are unable to see what they’re buying until they’ve parted with the full price of the dress.
Once they receive their dress, assuming they are not horrified by what turns up in the post, the bride is almost certainly going to need to have it altered to fit at a local dressmaker’s, so the £100 price tag that tempted them will have by now probably doubled.
The returns policy on some of these sites is questionable too as only some goods are returnable. The bride will have to foot the bill for any returns or exchanges so if it’s not what they were hoping for then they’ll be out of pocket to the tune of a two-way round the globe shipping cost - with no dress to speak of at the end of it. So their attempt to save money backfires and ends up costing them more in the long run.
Some websites that sell fake show photos of the dresses straight from the designer’s website but their copy of the dress can look very different. They offer reassurances that the reason their prices are so low is because they are selling directly from the factory and do not have large overheads to pay.
The reality is more likely to be that they are using different materials to the high quality materials and workmanship the designer would use. Without this knowledge, when faced with a £1000 designer dress for just £100 – who wouldn’t feel tempted to ‘save’ £900? It’s important to understand that this saving, however, is someone else’s loss and there are better, and certainly more ethical ways to save money.
Affordable bridal gowns are on the high street and not just in your local or city bridal boutiques. There are so many high street shops and department stores that now do beautiful and affordable wedding dresses that you can try on and take home straight away.
