For a dress that you'll (hopefully) wear only once in your life, wedding dresses can be very expensive, prompting a lot of brides to hunt for ways to save some money. Sometimes, things work out, but other times, the dress can leave a LOT to be desired! These images show some of the worst dresses that brides and bridesmaids have received when trying to save!

If you've ever been let down when ordering a dress online, we'd love to see a comparison of your expectations and the results.

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.

this isn't too bad, just needs alterations tailored to the wearer Most of these are fine , just need the proper undergarments & adjustments

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.
