Fake vs Real Formal Dresses How to find a Authentic Dress

Shopping for Evening Dresses or Special Occasion Dresses can be fun, yet tricky at the same time. You want to look your best, and you don’t mind going all out, and even making a little dent in your purse to make it happen. Unfortunately, sometimes you could go through all the stress, and spend a lot of money, only to end up with a fake dress that looked just like the real thing.

Sadly, many vendors these days don’t mind cheating you if you’re not careful, so this guide will help you differentiate between fake and real formal dresses so that you’re better equipped with knowledge on how to find an original one.

  • Fake vs Authentic Material

The first sign of fake formal dresses is that the materials are cheap, and look cheap. No matter how well the tailor tries to follow the same design and make things look identical, the material will scream ‘fake’ if it truly is fake. Even the inner lining should be considered because it should be equally comfortable and have high quality.

You need to pay attention to the look and feel of the material to see if it is genuine or fake. Unfortunately, this can be difficult if you shop on websites online and don’t visit a physical shop. However, you can confirm immediately you receive your dress and return it immediately if it falls short of authenticity.

  • Guarantee 

Authentic dresses come with a long-term guarantee, sometimes, even for years or for a lifetime. These dresses come with an authentic card if they are true designers. You need to be aware of how these cards look so that you can catch on if a fake brand tries to replicate that authenticity card.

If you’re spending a lot of money to purchase one of the stylish Evening Dresses and they don’t come with any guarantee, it should raise some red signals immediately.

  • Details and Stitching 

Many times, the stitching tells it all. Authentic dresses will always have smooth, uniform stitches because they are carefully made and checked for quality. Any dress that doesn’t make the cut isn’t allowed to be sent out for sale. Corset Dresses should have perfect fitting and detailing, especially if it’s supposed to be your perfect size.

Check the stitching across the necklines, seams, hems, and pockets and make sure that they are all neat, straight, and have equal lengths. Any roughness or mistake shows that they were hurriedly stitched or not made by professionals, which is a tell-tale sign of fakeness. 

When dealing with lace or Sequin Dresses, pay attention to things like lace pattern symmetry and intricate beading reflective of the standards of the clothing brand you’re purchasing.

  • Price

An easy way to catch sellers of fake formal dresses is by the price. If the price tag on the dress is too cheap compared to what you find on the official websites of these brands or other websites, then you are about to buy a fake dress. Even if they call it sales or discount offers, you just know when the price is too good to be true. 

On the other hand, some sellers will make their prices way higher, claiming originality as the reason for the expensive pricing. That’s another trick to make the dress seem authentic in your eyes. Don’t fall for it.
