This site is using fake Verisign AND McAfee badges. You know what they say, if one thing is fake, everything else probably is too. Buyer beware!

When I saw the mass of comments about this one, I had to go read them and see what it was all about. I haven't used the site myself, wrong gender, horrified at the idea of marriage, and so forth, but I thought it might be helpful to sum up what we know about this one so far if you don't feel like reading all the past comment.

Well, we know it's a Chinese business, and since Chinese sites regard such things as normal practice, it has fake badges claiming that it's verified secure and all that. These are stolen and meaningless. It also uses images and probably text copied from other sites, to disguise the fact that what you see isn't what you get.

Delivery times are erratic and entirely unpredictable, so it's unwise to plan the wedding date before you get the dress.

This all tends to suggest we're looking at a very small business in China, hiding behind a fancy website which is largely made from other people's bits and pieces and topped off with a number of, how shall we say, false statements. For all I know it could be a family working from home. It certainly isn't one of the world's biggest bridal stores.

But, and surprisingly, they do seem to deliver. You don't get what you expected, but you do get something, and if you're lucky, it's a success and you look great in it. At worst, it doesn't fit and is nothing like the photo they used. In the vast majority of cases, it arrives up to many weeks beyond the predicted delivery time.

So you really need to look at this one with your eyes opened. It doesn't appear to be a scam, as such, which makes it better than most Chinese sites straight away. Occasionally, you get what you paid for first time around, if rather overdue. You must ask yourself, is this what you came to the site for? Is the value of what you really get, still going to be good enough despite any problems it might have? Knowing what you know, do you still want to stop here or shop around? Remember you're asking for something to be custom-made without the maker being able to try it on you or see you in it, or even show you how it's going along.

There are lots of great comments here and you'll find girls who have photos of themselves in the dresses they did get, and tales of the ones that didn't work out. Just don't forget the real nature of the business. An impressive website doesn't mean anything, especially in a country where the standards of manufacture aren't known to be impressive and it's good business to tell a few little tales, here and there.

I'm so dumb.. I wasn't happy with my dress at all. It looked nothing like the picture. The colour was different, it was way to big, the strap broke off, it was all round crap. But not learning from my mistake i bought a second dress. This time having the fit custom made. This made no difference. Doesn't look anything like the picture and even having it custom fit its to short and to big up the top. What a waste of $500

I ordered a formal dress, arrived but oh goodness, 4cm too small, very uneven hemline, very poor quality material and marks over it , do not buy from here and now I am worried about my credit card too
Stick with a shop you can try the dress on and get service for returns. They do not honour there returns policy even though i took photos and did what they askked, I have now been ignored
Good luck to everyone

this is the most horrible experience i have had with online shopping! SHOPPERS BEWARE!! they tell you they are professional but when you get the garment you won't be able to wear it.. the dresses look like they were made by someone learning to sew!! they tell you the dresses are customed made.. inddeed they are made by a 10 year old learning basic stiches.. i ordered 5 dresses and it seems like they got them from another company and then try to cut them down to the meet the measurements.one of the dresses is so big it can't fit the little girl

i tried emailing them after i got the dresses to let them know i want to return and no response to this day

I purchased a wedding dress from fashionlande.com. Fortunately well in advance of my wedding. The dress arrived in a timely fashion but was made for a much larger woman and was a different design to the dress advertised. The material was also very poor quality. I have had a lengthy correspondence with them and even though they have agreed that they made a mistake they have not refunded my money. I would advise not to use this company, or to be honest any similar due to the poor product.

I have just got my dress from this website... VERY disappointed... I ordered a knee length dress yet I am standing on (it's longer than me), the colour is different, I also measured myself and made sure to order the right size yet it's too small. I have been back and forth with them and have got no where, all they say is I must have not measured myself right and I would not be getting a refund!!!! I also have friends that have ordered from this site they have also had a bad experience.I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS SITE TO ANYONE!!!!

We are 4 happy people for the 10 unhappy people, please keep them coming ladies. I know the girls that are happy hate that I cannot just leave it, but either can they so really? I was disappointed and I will continue to bash their customer service and lack of communication. Just like they were happy and will continue to applause their work. It allows a consumer to see both sides and proceed with caution. Since it is a gamble they should know what exactly they are gambling with.

Waited 8 weeks for my order of a green mother-of-bride dress to arrive. It came all tightly rolled and bundled up and wrapped in paper. What I got was absolutely disgusting - the stitching was amateurish, the sleeves were uneven, the embroidery and beading were a ghastly silver rather than green as advertised on their Website. Furthermore, they had not followed the measurements that I had given them.
I emailed Fashionlande.com immediately with supporting photos and a request for a Returns Authorisation and the returns address, but they never repsonded, even after 5 emails. Their 7-day return policy is bogus.
Feedback from other disappointed buyers seems to indicate that this is a shonky (dubious) business somewhere in China, hiding behind a glamourously-designed Website.

I purchased a bridesmaid dress from Fashionlande and am absolutely disgusted by it, it's the most hideous dress I've ever seen (I'm not over-exaggerating). It's NOTHING like the photo on their website, it's blood red not burgundy, the stitching was puckered, the dress is longer at the back than the front, it is much larger than the measurements I gave them, and it has these horrible cardboard fake boob things in the chest. I followed their returns policy to the letter, providing photos and evidence that the measurements were wrong etc. They sent a reply saying that they were away for Chinese New Year until 10th Feb, but since then just don't reply to any of my emails. I'm SO glad the other bridesmaids didn't order their dresses until I received mine. Considering just how bad the dress is, I would have to assume that any positive review of Fashionlande that you see has to be written by one of their employees.

I ordered 3 of these dresses and entered my own sizes. Yet when they arrived they were all the incorrect sizes and did not fit my bridesmaids. The sashes at the back were all out of place and not sitting as they do on the picture. I requested that my flower girl dresses match the colour of the bridesmaid dresses but they did not, when they arrived they were completely different colours. The company REFUSED to refund any money and did not want to help resolve the problem at all. I also ordered a Mother of the Bride outfit which was AWFUL. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU WITH POOR QUALITY DRESSES.

Where do I start with this site? Sadly, it's just another of these (hundreds) of Chinese "portal" type sites and many seem to be linked. Most have "addresses" in Beijing but that is thousands of miles away from where most of the factories are located. These sites facilitate hundreds of factories to sell their products outside China. The factories steal the images from designers and then make cheap inferior copies. I have pics of some of the "designer" dresses that have been bought by people on these sites. Most are not very good and many don't even look like the original.

I've work in this business for the last 15 years and have been in many Chinese factories so I've seen the good and the bad. As I said, there are HUNDREDS of similar "portal" sites (e.g. Tidebuy, Light in the Box, DinoDirect, Peridress, DHGate and many more) where factories (mostly small) sell their products online. Some of these factories are ok with reasonable quality but some are a disaster. I've seen factories set up in a dirty single room with about 3 - 5 workers. If you buy from one of these sites, you have no idea which factory you are buying from. So it is like a lottery.

If anybody wants a "heads up" on any site, feel free to contact me. No guarantee I can help but since I know this business, I should be able to point you in the right direction.

As pointed out by others, these sites even use fake VeriSign and AcAfee badges. This is just one small sign to watch out for. A reputable company should be contactable by phone, Skype or similar. And if you see the same images on site after site after site with a wide range of professional models and photographic styles, heads cut off or faces blurred, then it's time to get out of there. What you are looking at are stolen images and what you can expect is a cheap rip off!

Do not order a dress from this company! The wedding dress we received was not the same as the picture they had on their site. The original dress had sleeves, ours did not. The boning at the front was causing unsightly bumps, and the lace-up at the back was causing bubbling. The width of the dress in the skirt was so narrow that it did not allow for any fullness when a hoop petticoat was worn. The shoulders of the dress were so big that they feel off the shoulder and down the arm, which was not a part of the design.

When we sent a letter of complaint and asked for a refund they said that because the measurements we sent them (bust, waist, and hips) were the same as the dress they sent that they could not give us a refund. Instead they offered us a 5% discount on our next purchase with them. This was laughable because there is no way I would ever purchase another dress from them. We have lost $250 of our hard earned money to these dishonest people.

I am considering purchasing a some dresses for my wedding from this website. Can anyone tell me if they have had good or bad experiences?

My friend got so burned by one of those bridal online places she didn't get her dresses in time for the wedding and they just kept her money. I would be very careful...if you do use them have a back up just in case.

i am also looking to buy my wedding dress from this site. i have read some really good things about people buying their dresses online. And they are so much cheaper than the stores. Has anyone purchsed a dress from this site, and can they let us know the quality?

I have 4 months before our wedding to go. I bought a $4000 dress from a boutique but have just found out we are pregnant...a bit of a (very happy) suprise given our first little girl was through IVF but we are absolutely thrilled. The boutique I bought my dress from will not allow me to exchange my dress at all for something that will fit not even one that's is worth half as much so will have to sell a gorgeous never worn dress second hand. There are other options that are cheaper but not necessarily very bridal and this site looked like a good alternative...I was thinking about just buying one and using paypal to pay and then seeing what the quality was like. They let you put a zipper or lace up back which for me would be good...I am sure like with anything there will be dodgy sites and not so dodgy sites so a bit of a stab in the dark. They say their start to finish time is 40 days including delivery...

also considering buying a dress from here, i imagine it's just a cheap labor made dress unfortunately, but if this is a scam I would really appreciate the update!!!

i am also considering buying my wedding dress from this site.om the picture it looks like my dream dress..
but do i take the risk or not..
has i havant that long really til my big day..
so havant time to waste.
but surely someone somewhere has ordered from this site that can let us all no.

It's a knock-off site. They put up images of real designer dresses, but they do not have permission to use those images or make those designs. It's illegal to do so.

I spose it's a question of, do you gamble on this website for a £100 wedding dress and take the risk, or pay the usual grand or so in shops in this country and play it safe. Bearing in mind it is a your big day, but its only one day, you are not very likely to wear it again.

Also if u do get ripped off....dare i say it, nowdays £100 isn't alot of money.

Kinda made my decision to 'risk' it

Hi I have also ordered 4 bridesmaid dresses from fashionlande on the 24.01.11. I'm ver concerned now as it been over 40 days and have not even received an email to confirm shipping. I've sent a couple of emails but no reply! I'm furious really any advice on how to get in contact with them?

did you check the reviews and comments, shenade?

Hi, i thankfully posted on FB that i was looking at buying our bridesmaid dresses from fashionlande a friend sent me the link to this website. I tried to find the same dress on a diff site using the dress description & google images... i have found a website that looks strikingly similar but it isnt listed on here as a scam website. its "joyvogue.com". Has anyone heard of it before or can you go & check it out & see if you think its dodgy????

i wouldn't buy from joyvogue. it allows payment through western union (bad sign), prices are too good to be true, security badges don't link to anything and there's no real way to contact them other than through email. i'm sure this site is based in china. you don't want to take the risk.

i would definitly order from fashion lande again im well pleased with my wedding dress its lush...

i ordered a dress from here a month in advance and with the mixed reviews and overall consensus that they are pretty slow...im starting to get a little nervous. it is a week before the occasion and i still havent received anything from the company (tracking info, said dress, email response, etc). Would it be a waste of money to buy another dress or should i just wait it out?

After reading all the bad reviews I was skeptical about using this mob, however I decided to bite the bullet and place an order as I could not afford the 4-500% markups in a shop.

Anyway on 18 June I ordered my wedding gown, bridesmaid dress, 2 flowergirl dresses and mother of the bride dress. Total order including freight $550 tho silly me should have bought in USD and saved even more. The dresses turned up today - 2 days shipping from China - can't even get a letter in Australia this quick. That was normal service and not a rush order.

The dresses are sensational and am glad I didn't heed all the bad reports. Only 2 minor problems - the sash on 1 of the flowergirl dresses has a tiny hole (looks like a scissors nick) not much bigger than a pin head and you can't notice as it is in a fold and my gown has what looks like a machine oil spot on it so will have to have it dry cleaned before the wedding.

Similar dress to mine in a store in Brisbane $480 and took 8 weeks for it to be made (probably in China) - Fashionlande $87

hi, i bought 3 bridemaids dresses bot 2weeks ago, got a email 2day stated that dey a delivered nd i wil receive dem within 5-10days. afta finding this site im soooo worried, due avin two children under d age of 2 and myslf/partner r unemployed we cant afford to spend money on wasteful stuff. im not getin married until oct nxt yr, bu i also found a wedding dress i really love bu im to nervous to chance it... if anybody ere av pictures of actual dresses dey recieved gud or bad, wud ye mind sending me a pic to my email. awynne67431@hotmail.com, plz and tnk u n advance!!!
