When it comes to wedding gowns for my pre-wedding shoot, I wasn't too particular about the quality since most flaws can be fixed in Photoshop. Instead, my focus was on finding affordable wedding gowns that looks presentable and don't sacrifice style.
Naturally, I turned to Taobao and Shein, two popular online retailers that offer wedding gowns at a fraction of the cost of traditional bridal shops.
TAOBAO:
🧡 The biggest online shopping platform in China
🧡 Uses mainly Chinese as a language
🧡 Shipping times can vary greatly, depending on the seller and location
🧡 Customer service can be a challenge, as it is primarily in Chinese
🧡 A large variety of gowns and shops to pick from
🧡 Refunds can be expensive due to shipping fees
SHEIN:
🖤 International fast-fashion retailer based in China
🖤 Shipping times is usually relatively quick
🖤 Customer service is available in multiple languages and is generally responsive
🖤 Limited selection for wedding gowns
🖤 FREE refunds
Now that you’ve decided on which platform is better for you, here are some tips to help make the process easier:
🔍 Use keywords
- Use specific keywords for the style and silhouette of the dress you want. This will help you narrow down your search and find the perfect gown.
⭐ Seller/item reviews
- Always check seller reviews before making a purchase to ensure that they have a good track record and a history of delivering high-quality products.
📷 Real product photos
- Look for listings that include real product photos or photos from past buyers, rather than just stock photos. This gives you a better idea of what the dress will look like in real life.
📊 Size chart
- Pay close attention to the size chart and measure yourself carefully to ensure that you are ordering the right size.
🧺 Product description
- Read the product description carefully to understand the materials used, care instructions, and any other relevant information.
💰 Return policy
- Make sure you readthe return policy before making a purchase, as some items may be final sale and not eligible for returns or exchanges
Buying a wedding gown on Taobao and Shein can be a great option for brides on a budget who are willing to take a chance on the quality and sizing of the dress.
NOTE: While I was satisfied with the quality of both my gowns for my wedding shoot, I wouldn’t rewear then for my actual day since the low quality fabric is quite obvious in real life!
