k a.

For my junior prom last year I purchased a hi-low dress that was a Sherri Hill knockoff. At the time of the purchase I of course knew the dress couldn't be real as Hill lists authorized retailers on their website but I went ahead with it anyways (BAD. IDEA) because I loved the dress so much and couldn't afford the real thing. I placed my order and was pretty satisfied with the experience, nothing super sketchy and no bad occurances before my order.
The dress came within the next week, i remember being surprised by how quickly it arrived. When I pulled out the dress I was initially impressed when I unsealed the box, everything was secure, the dress was in a garment bag and already on a hanger inside the box. Of course, I pulled it out and tried it on immediately. The dress fit awkwardly due to the cheap material, the seems were all showing, the beading was cheap and ticky, and the mesh-like back was itchy because it was cheap. The sleeves were FAR too tight, and even after ironing the dress was wrinkled beyond repair. THE WORST PART OF THE DRESS WAS THE ZIPPER. Girls, you know how bad it can suck when a pretty dress has one of those pesky tiny zippers that you feel its gonna pop open if you sit down too fast. This dress was that and ten times worse. For some reason im still trying to figure out, the dress stuck out where the zipper met the waistband (there was something like a belt at the waist where the beading ended, which later fell off, by the way) it literally looked like i had a pencil poking out from my rear end or something. It was so ludicrous, i can barely explain it. It basically made me look like i had a hump. Additionally, the hem had some sort of weird plastic encased in it, make the entire dress shift forward into a hill between my legs. AGAIN, i really cant explain it just because it was SO weird and horrific, but you get the gist that the dress was HORRIBLE QUALITY. Although it was extremely close visually to the dress from the photos, color and such, the quality was horrible!
I ended up buying another dress in a panic the day before prom at a boutique 45 minutes away from my house.
I included a photo of what the dress was supposed to be below, because without seeing the dress it could get a little confusing. I dont have any photos of the horrible promgirl dress, and my friends and i threw it out the sunroof on a highway.
