My soon to be DIL didn't have a lot of money for her wedding dress, so she bought one from China, similar deal as jdub posted... yeah... similar results. We went up to Provo for a visit, Mrs. OC found out about the problem and $800 later the problem was solved that morning at a local dress shop.
Interesting, I got to pick Bam-Bams for lunch with no complaints from the ladies.
