Hayley Paige Bridal created this lovely translucent gown with an exquisitely carved bodice and dramatic waterfall skirt. It’s easy to see why shoppers would fall madly in love with this garment, which generally sells for roughly $2,000. It’s trendy and eye-catching enough to make a prom date take attention.

Of course, AliExpress wanted a piece of the pie and quickly came out with their own version. It may have been far less expensive, but the end product is just terrible. Think wedding cake meets Victorian baptismal gown, but worse.
