Has anyone heard/ordered from the website www.peridress.com?
It's a website that sells replica dresses - some people on the forum rave others are quite unhappy... any thoughts?

Actually, I'd love to know whether anyone has experience with this company as well.

Hello

I've dealt with Peridress and advise anyone considering to buy from Peridress not to have high expectations. In December 2008, I ordered 3 bridesmaid dresses (Style 1349). I had specific instructions which were simple and clear. 2 dresses were ordered in the color Mocha and 1 dress in the color Polimino. I requested that the sash color for the 2 mocha dresses be in the Polimino color and the Polimino dress to come with a Mocha color sash. This was put in writing and also confirmed online with Peridress with the Consultant who's name is Chris. I received the dresses a few weeks later which was great. At first glance the dresses looked amazing until I realised that the Mocha dresses did not come with the Polimino sash color, they were Mocha also. The girls then tried their dresses on only to discover that the clips have been sewn in the wrong way. There is a built in bra within the dress which clips in behind your bust. The clip did not clip in due to being sewn in the wrong way. The only way you can clip them in is by twisting the band.

I wrote an email to Peridress advising them of the bust clips as well as the incorrect sash colors. I received no response. I then got on line and waited until they were on Live Chat. Chris the consultant responded to my 'Hello' right away advising me that the dresses have been shipped out. I responded with my concerns and that's where all communication ended. She no longer responded. I stayed on line for over 20 minutes and could clearly see they were still on line. After a few minutes the same message "A consultant will be with you shortly" kept appearing on the screen. Frustrated I expressed my feelings on how disappointed I was and demanded someone reply to which I finally got a response saying "I'm sorry about this matter". That was it. They did not offer to replace the sash's nor did they offer to repair the clips, they simply didn't respond at all. After receiving no response via email nor on Live Chat, I decided to call them on the contact number provided on their web site and you guessed it nothing. It was the wrong number.

Peridress are dodgy and unprofessional, unless you are willing to take the risk that your dress will not arrive as you would hope then don't go there, spend the extra dollars for your own peace of mind.

Understand that Peridress/Perigown/Peri whatever, they have many different websites, is not a designer. Of course, they take designers pictures and make lower-end replicas that are similar. Just realize that the price is lower, thus the quality is lower, and isn't ever going to be identical to the original. You might be safe for a flowergirl or possibly bridesmaids, but would not recommend a wedding gown through any China factory on the web, unless you know in advance that it is less than what you have seen at the bridal stores. Search the web for reviews on other forums.
