The China Option














I'm member of an online Swedish wedding forum, and on this forum there are hundreds of brides who are ordering their wedding dress from china. Made to your measurements and very cheap, usually between £50-£200. Here's my problems with this option:
  1. The working conditions for the workers are probably horrible.
  2. Something so cheap can't possibly be of very good quality.
  3. There has been horror stories of things not being delivered on time.
  4. I have also heard stories were the final dresses look nothing like the ones on the pre-order pictures.
For someone like me, who is an organisation and planning freak, this option feels very unsafe. If it does work out, it's amazing. Just look at the pictures above. You could get beautiful dresses for very little money. But it still feels very unsafe. Too unsafe? I think so.
