Survey Reveals Nearly 20% of Prom Dresses Sold Online Are Fake Knock Offs

Chinese prom dress websites are stealing copyrighted images from prom designers such as La Femme, Jovani and Tony Bowls. Based in China, these bait-and-switch websites scam teenage girls into believing that they can purchase the exact same designer prom dresses for steep discounts.
In addition to the Authentic Prom Dress Guide, DressGoddess created a viral video to reveal the clear quality differences between a counterfeit and an authentic designer prom dress.
"Unfortunately, if the price is too good to be true, it's a fake prom dress," said Jon Liney, president of DressGoddess.com. "Prom dress designers determine the price of their dresses and every authorized prom retailer, both online and offline, must sell dresses at the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or MSRP."
As an American Authorized Retailer of leading dress designers, DressGoddess certifies the authenticity of each dress it sells and guarantees that its merchandise is genuine.
"If you see a prom dress on nearly every ecommerce website and retail store for $298, and then you find the dress on a website for 10% to 50% off that price, that dress is a fake knock off that will only disappoint you on prom night," continued Liney.
Here are the problems with purchasing cheap prom dresses from Chinese websites:
With more than 10,000 Facebook fans, DressGoddess surveyed its customers and found that nearly 20% of teenage girls had to purchase two prom dresses for the same event in 2012. They purchased a cheap counterfeit version of the dress of their dreams and later purchased an authentic prom dress from DressGoddess.com.
