Mia's Bridal & Tailoring is a licensed salon with established relationships with all of our designers. If you order a wedding gown here; you will receive a beautiful, quality designer gown you can be proud of! Nothing breaks our hearts more than seeing a bride or prom-goer who has been taken advantage of by ordering online. Recently, we've found a great Facebook page,
International Ownership, who is advocating against counterfeit & knock-off gowns, and we want to share a few of our tips with you for red flags when online shopping.

| Here's an example of a knock-off gown: the original on the left is by Mori Lee #1612, the reproduction on the right is a counterfeit gown. You can clearly see the difference in silhouette, fit, and materials on the gown. |

 |
| Another common trick of counterfeiters: on the left is the original image of Maggie Sottero's "Meredith Rose" from the Sottero & Midgley collection. On the right, you see the same image, with a different model's head & a solid background photoshopped in. The problem? Not only is this theft of the designers original image, but you really have no idea what the gown they produce will look like! | |

 |
| Our final piece of advice is when in doubt, just remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for!" If a gown seems to good to be true (a $1500 dress online for only $150?!), it probably is! |
