The dress I wanted was thing blingy gown that I think was around $12k. That was not going to happen. So I started researching replicas and found Darius Cordell Fashion. They told me they could make the dress for about $4000. I asked for pics. They sent me to their website. I saw some of their work so I decided to proceed. The dress I received was pretty close to the original. The final cost was around $4500.
