From my perspective, it's like buying buying shoes at Wal Mart or buying them at the Lecost (sp) store. Same thing, but it feels different when you buy from the best (brand name vs. no name kind of sort of). There is a huge difference in quality between the two prices, but you may be hard pressed to actually visually see those differences. Things like real crystal beading vs. plastic beads, hand sewn seams vs. machine, and of course, name brand. Some brides need to wear a certain designer to say they did. The more you sell the better you get treated as well, kind of like buying a car a VW vs. a Bently.

Funny enough no one is going to tell a bride she looked like crap or her dress didn't fit right, or it sat funny on her, EVER. That being said, she can wear a garbage bag and who would speak up?
