    This is really not the same dress. I don't know if the bride asked to have some of the beading removed...but not same dress.

    Again, not too bad. Not perfection, but may look great on the right woman.

    I don't think the one on the right is a Vivienne Westwood too. Cheap knock-off!

    this 1 is not 2 far off of the mark it needs 2 be altered to fit the wearer- most of these just need some alterations and they will be fine

    I wish people would just buy dresses that fit their own bodies-- AND they need to have professionals do alterations for them.

    I actually think the knock-off dress isn't too bad. I like the idea of the added color too.
