Love how we call bad copies of bad originals dupes now 😆😅 loved this comparison.

Zara fabric is always trush. I buy Zara clothes and shoes but to be honest …majority of the time it’s just not good quality 😢

Balenciaga dress looks like it was made by Zara. Not worth more than $500

Normally I don't have time for people who see luxury items and say "I can get one just as good at WalMart." But in the case of that Balenciaga gown, they're right.

Thank you for this. Has confirmed for me to not spontaneously buy Balenciaga until i can closely examine in their shop. Love the brand though and I’m looking forward to their next runway show

Hm, ich kenne halt Dior, da hat die Qualität der Verarbeitung im Vergleich zu den neuniger Jahren teilweise abgenommen, das wird wohl bei den anderen Marken auch so sein. Es gibt zu viele Kollektionen und die Anzahl der Teile pro Kollektion ist zu groß, weil der Markt gewachsen und somit die ausgelagerte Produktion unter enormem Druck steht und es wird auch etwas an in der Produktion gespart - Ich kaufe gerne z.B aus der Cruise Kollektion, da wird es teilweise von anderen Kooperationspartnern hergestellt.

Balenciaga has finishes that I would expect in Walmart bought item… just awful ….

Words like satin and crepe are real but they are for describing the type of weave, not the fiber.

I once tried on a Canali shirt that was a blend of everything but the kitchen sink. Felt like sandpaper.

I don't understand how buttons are sewn on sometimes. A few times I would be able to just pull on the loose end of the thread and the thread comes out completely. It's like it was a bad machine stitch.

So u actually spent 3000 dollars on a dress? Did you return it? If not thats crazy. The zara dress is worth max 10 dollars and the balenciaga one cost max 20 bucks to make

the way my jaw dropped when i saw those raw seams!!!!!

Raw hem is common in expensive dresses. They do it in thicker knit fabric to minimize bulk. And maximize profits.

I'm not surprised. Balenciaga does a lot of gimmicky stuff, like the leather IKEA bag, the towel shirt, etc. Just basd on that I would say they don't respect their customers.

I'm not surprised by the quality of the Balenciaga dress. About twenty years ago, I tried on a pair of Prada trousers at a store. The seam came apart due to awful quality thread. Many of these pieces are made in China without much oversight. The mark up is outrageous! Made in China can very from great to awful. That depends on the oversight.

One of our teachers in fashion school brought a vintage Chanel coat for us to look at and I was actually shocked at the finishings. The outside was exquisite and obviously very well made with a high quality, expensive tweed, but the inside was almost COMPLETELY unfinished. Our teacher told us that was pretty commonplace which threw me for a loop, though I have to assume it was made solely as a runway piece and not ready to wear (but maybe that’s too optimistic lol)

Great video! Really interesting how both brands applied a solution to sheernes.

Maybe a dupe the balenciaga dress. Might be difficulte to verify if it is really from Balenciaga. That might explain the poor quality of the dress

Still a stupid price for jacket 800 to 1k is not worth it. Unless these people that buy them are going to Antarctica 🇦🇶 then it’s not worth it

I really love *amzclothes* clothes. The fabric is very good. The golden embellishments add a touch of beauty. When I went to the church, I received some praise.

@6:50 ....GOLD!💯💯💯

yes, some good quality dresses just do not have the BRAND.

Plus size women do have a choice- make a wise choice. Lose weight and love and respect yourself.

I bought a book on couture sewing techniques-I make my own clothes

in my country fashion schools are not so popular, so im always happy when i find a good educational fashion channel ❤

Look at Chanel’s care label, you will find: not washable, do not dry clean,do not iron, no steam.

Who the hell gave you the right to tell me I don’t have the right to buy fast fashion? Guess what ,me along with millions and millions and millions of people will continue to do so while you’re running your mouth

OMG Chanel would be absolutely horrified to be compared to Shein

I just found myself taking notes while watching. 😅

I'm not a fashion enthusiast but this channel has educated me much about garment craftsmanship even just by looking into minor details of a piece of clothing. It helps me understand more the clear difference between fast fashion and bespoke pieces and why one is really worth your money. Looking forward to more contents. Keep it up!

In the late 70s/early 80s I knew a number of girls who made or whose mothers made their dresses, and the dresses were honestly of as good quality- some a lot better- than what I saw on this video. I was shocked by the low quality of just the fabric, but part of the problem is that some people want a certain "look" or silhouette and don't care if the fabric is Halloween-costume quality. It doesn't have to be that way. I just saw some silk taffeta for $50 a yard. (I'm actually not a big fan of silk, some silk doesn't hold up so well.) Even at that price, a person could probably make a wedding dress for less than what those polyester "costumes" were costing. Even a synthetic matte satin would look better than the fabric in some of those gowns, and it certainly would be cheaper. I've been saying that the sewing industry has priced itself out of business, but given what those rather sad wedding dresses cost, maybe not.

Super trick for second hand cheapo 'shein' ( no more than £5 EVER !) ' tweed' air thoroughly, hang of decent padded jacket hanger and spray with hairspray. This fixed the surface fibres and stops massive pilling.- also gives the fabric more 'body' :)

Hard to call a tweed jacket fast fashion when it’s a centuries old trend

This is why haute couture gowns are truly worth the expense...

i worked in a high-end bridal atelier and I can answer some questions. fibre content does not matter, this dress is really meant to be worn once it needs to achieve the intended look and that's it. we still use metal buttons but the reason plastic buttons are becoming common is because wedding dress preservation is becoming more common. You can't have any metal touching the dress during that process. sometimes finishing an edge will add more bulk that isn't needed so they are just unfinished (this was rare where I worked, and only done on specific materials and designs) because it only needs to last a day.

Probably the same chinese workers do them

I will never, ever understand the urge to blow your budget on a dress that is worn ONCE! Some people spend the equivalent of a new house on this outrageous and pointless extravagance.

9:28 preach queen! Thrift stores have been around for longer than shein, nobody should rely on shein.

Let's be fair, it's all about the profit. Quality can be achieved without buying a 10K USD pantsuit too.

Inside is so messy tho. It is supposed to be clean inside out

My niece told me she bought clothes from SHEIN a couple months ago and I gave it a whirl. I know that all the stuff is definitely sweatshop but so is most of high end stuff. I have liked the stuff I have bought and have had compliments on different things especially the jeans.

You would make a good lecturer tbh, haha

Hey, really love your content! A video where you compare or show some clothing brands that convince garment/production as well as value for money wise would be awesome. (Everyone knows fast fashion is bad and I think a lot of people would pay a bit more for a good piece of clothing but it’s really hard to determine if it really brings a better quality with the price)

As someone who sews and who will spend countless hours sewing tiny stitches by hand where you might not even see them (as well as using a machine), it's shocking to see this. It's just unadulterated profiteering. They probably run those dresses up in sweat shops for next to nothing, with no quality control to brag about. I think the whole wedding dress market is out of control.

Thank you for your honesty. After being a fan of Say Yes to the Dress, this was truly eye opening.

I'm very skinny, should I care about the boxy shape?

I like this type of video, but the experts' voice is so low compared to your voice. It'd be helpful to have the second person wearing a mic or something because I constantly adjusting my volume back and forth. Anyway, this video is very helpful. Thanks!

New here and binge watching your channel here. Thanks for sharing with us.

The days of overpriced, Designer/luxury fashion are numbered.....

Great info thank you! I got a small designer to make the dress I drew out for her. I wouldn't go for silk now as its unethical to me, but it was made of the most beautiful Italian silk satin, the veil also silk tulle, and for so cheap. There was a huge long train in it aswelI, so no skimping on the fabric. I thought this was normal to have natural fibres in wedding dresses until I saw big brand dresses made of tacky plastic, unoriginals, and for 1000's more than what I paid.
