on 3/31/11We are thinking of ordering bridesmaid dresses from here anyone have any reviews?
Thanks!
We, too, are thinking of ordering a wedding gown from dresstimes.com but can't find anyone that's done business with them or at least have reviewed their dealings. They have responded to emails within the timeframe they state on the website, however, when trying to order they say PayPal is an option but it doesn't offer that option when finalizing the sale.
Anyone have ANY info at all?
Oops, typo... I mean "ordering a dress in another country."
In their defense under the FAQ section of their website they do state that the dresses are replicas.
"How you are able to provide low prices?
All the dresses are the replicas. We will use the similar fabric to produce the dresses with our own factory."
"What exactly do you mean by reproduction/replica?
Our dresses are replicas, the fabric is similar and some details are simliar. But we promise the dresses will be more than 90% similar with the pictures."
Although, I read on a Yahoo posting that it is illegal for dresstime to be posting the designers pictures on their website.
I also saw that someone wrote, "We have not had great experience with them. I would just spend a bit more and buy something else. One bridesmaid has gotten her dress and she said that it is super cheap with excess fabric, cheap zippers and can not get much money back in return."
I'm curious to hear how things go for you in March, Jimi P. Please up date us when you recieve your dress. I hope it is identical to what you wanted.
I've ordered a bridesmaid dress from dresstimes. It's beautiful. The material is quite good. Most of all, they can make the dress more fit me. The price is cheap, so it deserves the money.
Hi Jimi,
Can I see a picture of the dress? I want to see the details and fabric. Did they make the beadings and laces the same as the original dress? Hope to hear from you soon.
I just emailed them for the dress I'd like to order with custom changes - very quick reply - I'd also love to see your pics to see how your dresslooks compared to original. Definitely saving the site for my dress :)
Opps typo error... its hotmail.com
Hi, Jimi P.
I would like pictures of any dress purchased from Dresstimes.com, it would help me decide if I should purchase from them, especially for those kind of prices! Please, email me the pictures. Here's my address... kls06e@gmail.com
Hello Jimi P.,
I am also looking at an OC dress. Could you please email me the pics? My email is chris.rashad@yahoo.com
Hello Jimi!
I've been hearing that Dress Timis a scam. Why is PayPal not a payment option? Could you please send me pictures of your dress? lelya.ua@hotmail.com
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experiences ordering through Dress Times! I really want to order through them but have been too nervous. I feel so much better now! For the price, I think it's worth the risk for me.
What color dress did everyone order? I would like to order it in ivory, but I am a little worried about the color. The online color swatches make ivory look a little weird, so maybe white would be better. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Hi everyone... i ordered my wedding gown from dress times with much apprehension. I wasn't sure how the dress would turn out. Thanks to all of your postings, i went ahead and placed an order. My dress should be arriving in about 6 weeks. For those of you who did receive your dress, would you mind sending me a picture? Thanks...
Dear ladies, I was thinking as well to buy my wedding dress through this website. The dress I am looking for is made only of laces. Anybody already ordered and have pictures of their wedding dresses please email them to me (and your comments regarding the quality of the material) Thanks, this will be of HUGE help as I need to order my dress ASAP:-) Thanking you all in advance for your help!

Hello-
Can anyone send me a picture of their wedding dress. I'm thinking about getting my dress at dresstime but I'm nervous about it! Please email me at maricelat@hotmail.com.
Thanks!
Hello! If anyone can also email me pics of their wedding dress bought on dresstimes I would really appreciate it! Thank you! katiepillatzki@hotmail.com :)
Hi everyone! Can I get pictures of the dresses, as well: crumbcakes2010@gmail.com
Many thanks!
Hi if anyone could send me a pic as well, that would be so helpful! I'm really apprehensive about ordering such an important item from dresstimes. calan.dewald@gmail.com thanks!
We paid by pay pal and did rush order payment. Dresstimes contacted us right away, sent the pay pal link, I am a regular guy. Who makes up a story of their daugthters prom, when everyone else is talking wedding? We live in Tokyo and dresses here cost a fortune because they do not have proms, so you are stuck with really cheap crap that bar girls wear (long story) or designer dresses that WAY too expensive. I will see about the photo but the dress is having some other alterations done to it right now (as one would expec). 100% satified. Better than buying it in the mall that is for sure.
Jimi - please send me pics also (when you can!) - bethany.coston@gmail.com
Thank you so much!
Hey ladies,
I am also considering buying form dresstimes. Can you tell me if you had to do much alteration after you got it?
I'm 5'2" and all dresses I've tried in bridal shops are way too long. I'm concerned that the dresstimes website doesn't seem to allow me to tell them my height and exact measurements. I wouldn't want to have to take it up as the dress I like has a lovely lace detail at the bottom... cutting it would not be an option! Will the dress fit when I get it!
Greetings Ladies,
Most unfortunately, I have NOT had a good experience with dresstimes. Like all of you, I was very hesitant to purchase a wedding dress online especially from China. I found your blog a about a month ago. There was so much wonderful feedback that I went ahead and ordered a Jenny Packham replica. I went to a local botique, tried the dress on and loved it! Alas, the dress arrived yesterday and it is horrible. I am now in the precess of returning the dress, however I am not sure if I will be able to get my money back. They said I have to send pictures to see if there really was anything wrong.
I wont rant too long but my primary complaints about the dress are:
First. The dress is beaded with plastic, not metal beads like the dress I requested. The beads you used are black, not silver like the Jenny Packham Sorrento.
ALSO: the beading is sewn in crooked and even sewn into the lining in places so the dress hangs crooked!
Second. The straps of the dress are barely sewn on. They are 10cm too long at the ends so there is a huge strap tail hanging out the back! The beading your company did is sparse, with clear beads not silver, nothing like the Jenny Packham dress that I tried on.
Third. The bodice is not completely sewn together and the pads in the bust are crooked. When I put the dress on, the unfinished seams open and the dress looks terrible.
Fourth. The hem all around the dress is crooked and was sewn poorly.
Lastly. The veil is a piece of gauze. I could have gone to the fabric store here in the US and bought that for half the price I paid dresstimes. There is not even a clip to put it into you hair!
Over all, I am very unhappy with the quality of the dress. The website said it would be made with a like material. The Jenny Packham Sorrento is made of Silk. Dresstimes made the dress with satin. Satin does not breath. The inside lining of the dress is itchy and hot.
As an extremely disappointed bride to be, I am now out $300 and still need to find a dress for my wedding in 3 months.
I would recommend you go elsewhere and stay in the US. Calling their number on the website goes to someones personal cell phone or something, a woman answered yesterday and didnt even say that it was dresstimes!
Better luck to all of you in your hunt for the perfect dress... and congrats on your weddings!
Xx

Jimi and cliffetee, I stand corrected and apologize! The Vera Wang images ARE from the Vera Wang site after I researched further. So therefore, while I do stand by my comments that alot of them do not look well made esp at the hemline where they drape poorly and even look uneven (not as part of a design), this is NOT a reflection on DressTimes but on Vera Wang. So I truly, truly do hope that everyone out there who has ordered a wedding dress will be happy with theirs and I sincerely apologize for my mistake and am sorry if it has caused anyone anxiety.
Hi Ladies:)
I too am thinking about ordering my mori lee dress from dresstimes. I am EXTREMELY nervous about this since this is the only dress that I have tried on that I absolutely in love with. I was going to buy it in store, but the 1200 price tag was NOT going to work with my budget. I found the dress on dresstimes and want so bad to get it, but i all of the sudden have gotten hesitant about it.
Will you sweet ladies please send me pictures and info on your purchase with them. I have read very mixed reviews and have NO CLUE what to do!
My email is salinacrawford@yahoo.com. Thank you ladies! I hope your weddings are beautiful! :)
Hi, I like a few wedding dresses on this site and am trying to decide if I should lay down some cash. Jimi, Laura and anyone else who has ordered and received a dress; please send me pictures! I would be very grateful. adventure.girl@rocketmail.com
The style number is 6129sn...
Hey, i'm still waiting to hear what Sabrina D. Thought about her purchase since she had such a large order... were they consistent throughout all of the brides maids dresses? I took her advice & have been emailing Shine, who does seem to be very helpful & have a great response time.
I can definitely send pictures to anyone interested. It will change your mind very quickly about ordering from them and in the end I want other women to not have this experience. Ultimately the draw of getting that dream dress for a "steal" is quite strong regardless of what I post here and I truly hope it works out.
We received the dress from http://www.dresstimes.com/ on Friday. It is beautiful!
I love this dress espically the price! Dresstimes website, my best choice of wedding dress.
Hey Ladies. Sorry it took so long to reply. Maybe it was because Im sooo disappointed with my order! I got my BM's dresses which were poorly made. Looks like they spent 3 mins total on making each dress. It was super longer then in the picture so they all have to be hemmed and along with a few other alterations. They sent me the wrong color. Off by enough to be noticeable. They didnt send all the right sizes and sent an extra dress on their mistake and wanted me to pay extra shipping to send back the extra dress to China! Sorry. I dont think so.
My wedding dress, was poorly made of satin, not silk. The beading is cheap and the straps look nothing like the dress I thought I was ordering. The straps weren't even sewed on straight! Very, very noticeable! My wedding is in 2 months. I feel like I just wasted $900. Now I have to make due with the BM's dresses and either hope my seamstress can do magic or buy another dress. Good thing I'm wearing a reception dress! They saying is true, "You get what you pay for".
I'm at the point where I'm so stressed out over the situation, I just don't care. I know regardless, my wedding will still be the most wonderful day of my life, even if I'm not 100% happy with the dresses. More like 60%...
Asuka, let me guess, you work for dresstimes.com! Welcome, lol.
I'm just kidding, ladies, just passing time in class...
Thank you for the pictures... It really does seem like a gamble some look beautiful and some look Thrown together! I am welcome to any more pictures anyone can send - good or bad! I still can't make up my mind lol
Oh my! Rachel, I would really advise you to get a backup dress if you don't already have one. It's much too risky to rely on a dress that is going to be delivered the actual day of your wedding, especially one you've never actually tried on before! You don't need that stress...
So excited for those of you who like your dresses! Will you please include me in pictures of dresses? Like everyone else, I don't want to waste time & money. My email address is iseward@me.com. Thanks so much!
I'm strongly considering ordering my wedding dress from this website. I just can't bring myself to pay $2,000 for a wedding dress that I'll wear for 20-minutes (I'm changing into a shorter reception dress immediately after the ceremony). My wedding is also in November, so I must order as soon as possible.
Please send pictures of your dress good/bad or ugly to jazmin@capitalwebwriting.com
Good luck Denise! Please do let us know how it turns out... I'm in the same boat as you... in love with a dress I just can't afford! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Hey everyone, I am debating ordering a vera wang gown from dresstimes and I am a little nervous. Could I get some pictures of dresses? Good or bad. (lcconsidine@gmail.com) Thanks everyone!
Ps. Has anyone who did not like their dresses get refunds? I was interested if it was possible to get money back.
Can someone please please please send me some real pictures of their dresses?
I am in desperate need of a dress solution. ASAP.
Thank you. mjp.design@gmail.com
Hello everyone! I need your opinions! I am considering ordering a dress from this site but obviously have my reservations. I am looking at the Maggie Sottero "Rachael" dress, which is a taffeta ballgown dress with glass beading across the bodice. Has anyone ordered this dress? Also, does anyone know if they substitute another fabric for taffeta? How has the beading turned out? PLEASE send pics to lpowell@midway.edu! Thank you
Hello, like many others on this site, I am interested in ordering my dream dress from DT. For those of you that have ordered from Dress Times, please send me pictures of your dress. I would like to see the bad experiences as well as the good. Please send your pictures to life.mylove@gmail.com. Thanks!

I am very interested in ordering from Dress Times, a Maggie Sottero Lillian style dress. It is absolutely beautiful! I love it, but it is twice the amount that I am willing to spend!
Could someone please send me pictures of your dresses so I can see their detailing and fabric that they use, good and bad? I would greatly appreciate it! It will help me decide if I would like to order it from that website or not! aleasha.go@gmail.com
Thank you!
I received my dress... it was a vera wang replica dress... I had the highest hopes for this because I found many people who loved their dress, and it was beautiful. My dress however was disgusting. I haven't even taken a photo because all i want to do is forget about it. I realized that vera wang can't be replicated... so i'm on the wedding dress hunt again because I really can't spend $6000 on a wedding gown.
Ok so just like everyone I think this dresstimes website is super sketchy. But on the other hand I am almost willing to pay the 290$ over the 1200$ just to see. BUT I dont want to waste my time even bothering with this place SO will any of you who have ordered their dress from this website email me some pictures?!? renee6465@yahoo.com i know everyones asking but i would just really like to see their work! Also, the dress i want has like lace and all that jazz so would this website be better for more plain dresses or do they do ok with beading and such? Thanks!
I would love to see pictures good and bad. If someone could please send them to me! I'm also curious to know if I'd be better off ordering a dress with little to no lace and/or beading. kristin.thompson7@gmail.com Thank you!

I have fallen in love with a casablanca dress style 1888 and dresstimes has the style. I'm nervous bout ordering from them because of so many mixed reviews but would love to see pics of any dresses anyone has ordered from them. I have had my eye on the casablanca for bout 7 mths now and always keep goin back to it but original price is 1200 and I could get it on sale for almost 900 but if it's worth it I'd rather save money and not spend so much.

Greetings Ladies,
As much as I want to be a nice person, sadly this company has given me no choice! I am normally a reasonable and a really nice person but this company is not worth a penny! DO NOT, I REPEAT! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY, DRESSTIMES! Their products do not deliver and they wont give me a refund! If it was a legit company then they would refund you, but it's not! The dresses I ordered were 2 from amsale [but looked nothing like] were way too big and the quality was not great AT ALL. The company is based in China all their dresses are not similar to the replicas at all. I am a very dissatisfied BRIDE-TO-BE and wasted a couple hundred on two ugly dresses! So please, I really want to save all you ladies a couple of bucks! What you pay for is what you get... MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DON'T LIE... GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE DRESSTIME BUYERS OUT THERE! BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! LOL feel free to email me if you have any question, I'd be more than happy to answer your questions! I've never been so passionately angry with anything until dresstimes came along! -kim
PLEASE HELP! I just spent over an hour reading this ENTIRE thread. I fell in love with Martina Liana 260 and when I googled it the first web site to come up in my search was "Dress Times" and at first I thought it was legit, until I found multiple other web sites such as "Dress Goddess" and "ComDresses." Both sites appear to be created by the same person.
I really want to save money on this dress, and I dont expect 100% quality for $300. But if you could please, please, pretty please send me some photos, both good and bad experiences, I would greatly appreciate it. All my co-workers are insistent I do not fall for this, but I've also read some great reviews and would hate to pass up a deal for a dress I will only wear once!
Please help by sending pictures to me: Christina.Sandroni@InsightGlobal.net
Thank you in advance! I am so nervous to buy!
Hello,
I am considering buying a dress from dress times. Does anyone have any pictures that they could send me of actual dresses that they purchased from them. Please send pictures to deena2000@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance!
I am interested in a maggie sottero dress too. I am interested in the maggie sottero autumn royale in ivory but can't afford the price. It doesn't have any beading but it does have a lot of ruching, and of course I can't afford to take a chance on $300 and just "hope for the best." I would really appreciate anyone who is willing to send me pictures of the dresses they got from dresstimes, both good and bad experiences: kd_sachi@hotmail.com
Thanks!
Hello Everyone. I'm thinking about purchasing my wedding dress from this site. Could you all send me pics good and bad of what you received from Dress Times. Thanks in advance! CHUDIE@AOL.COM
Mine wasn't perfect but it was beautiful. I sent you ladies some pics. =)
Thanks, I look forward to seeing the pics and I will send you mine as soon as I get it.
See my post at http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-times
I posted pictures of the terrible dress I received.
DO NOT ORDER FROM DRESSTIMES.COM
Well thanks for the reviews. I really wanted this maggie sottero dress but I went ahead and found a dress I loved at Davids bridal then went home and found it for $200 online from someone selling theirs.
I ordered from them. My dress is AWESOME. I was nervous after reading some reviews but we did it anyway. You can find me at facebook.com/misplaceddreamer - with REAL pics of my dress. Mostly tagged ones for now. Wedding was just recently and we have yet to put up the photographers pix. They were wonderful to work with,
I even left a review under the Alfred Angelo 1516 style gown on their website that i had purchased.
Check it out. And I'll gladly answer questions.^_^ they were awesome to work with.
After a couple of days and a few emails from some generous ladies who sent me their pictures of their dresses... and agreeing with:
" Dayna v. says: 3 months ago
ALL OF YOU PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN THE SOLUTION.
NO WONDER WE HAVE A $#*! ECONOMY."
I will not be doing business with dresstimes.com. Good Luck to all you ladies.
I want to order a dress and i dont know they can make it or not... can anyone send me the pics or help me plz?
My email address is zghd10287[AT]yahoo[DOT]com
I don't know about superbweddingdress, but queenisagirl looks bad here: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.queenisagirl.com
I know I am very scared because I already ordered a dress from www.queenisagirl.com in december and I should be getting it soon. I didnt see this post uniti I recently. I will keep you posted on how it comes out. Does anyone know where I can get Amalia Carrara 280 for a cheaper price.
RUN, RUN, RUN!
Yeah, well, six months later, I still have not gotten a refund for my "100% guaranteed" purchase. Like other posters here, all they wanted to offer me was $10-$20, they REFUSED to give me a return shipping address, and the telephone number listed on their website is voice mail only and no one ever calls back.
Six months later, I am still trying to get my money back but "Shine" is now non-responsive to my inquiries.
I wish I knew who here in the US to report this company to in order to get them shut down. They sell cheap knock-offs that are poorly made and then refuse to honor their 100% satisfaction guarantee. That's consumer fraud, plain and simple.
