Oh and thank you for educating peeps on how unrealistic the cheap prices are even at hundreds of dollars. Most designer clothing is expensive as it takes sooo much time to make complicated clothing properly. And paying good employees and quality fabrics is majorly costly. I wish sewing basics were still mandatory in schools. Gives people appreciation for how long sewing takes etc.
There's some designers on TikTok that take people over the process and prices, but people still complain. There's one guys dress I'd love to buy but I have absolutely no where where I would wear it to.
And this is why I don't own a lot of designer clothes. I would love to buy some of these gorgeous dresses and such, but I know to get the level of quality I couldn't afford the real stuff. I occasionally save up and get myself something nice. But videos like this remind me why I do that.
It's also good to take note that more expensive doesn't mean better or legit too. It's sad but this is why crediting and looking at credit is so important a habit.
Honestly I would have been jumping mad if I've paid so much and still receiving fakes or super low quality stuff... So glad Hope actually showed us not everything is trustable even with an appropriate price tag! Really appreciate the interesting contents she had created thus far!
What annoys me is that so many online stores charge, like, non-scam prices for cheap scam clothing. Sure, if I spend $20 for a three-piece suit or something, I shouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be made from paper towels. But if you spend $200 on a dress, you should get a decent dress! This is why I have trust issues lol
This is why you don't ever buy clothing online. (Other than like...a t-shirt.) Trying it on in-store is the only way to know you're not getting scammed.
@@SkiesTurnedGrey And the only way to be sure it fits you nicely. Same for shoes. I have no idea why people buy shoes online, I have to try a dozen of shoes before finding ones I am comfortable in. What are the odds shoes you order online are NOT going to be a torture device? Very small.
@@jikaarthou Hopes literal words were: "I just got an email that a refund has been issued!! 🙏 I could cry haha" --So I can't be sure, but my guess is that since "issued" means "provided"....HOPEFULLY the refund is either on it's way to her account or already in it. Just a relief in general bc I wasn't sure she was even going to ask for a refund at all.
It's actually such an appropriate touch to end the video with a demo that a high price point doesn't mean it's not still a scam. Reminds me of how sometimes companies make things "reassuringly expensive" as a headgame
A friend of mine's mother is a legit seamstress, who often would make her own clothes. They made my friends prom dress, inspired by two couture dresses she really liked. She looked absolutely amazing, but the making of the dress took her mom over 6 months and cost more than 300€ in materials alone, not counting in the hours of painstaking work of designing, sewing, and beading/embroidering the whole thing.
I wanted a couture dress (Naem Khan) for my daughter's wedding. It had a long blue satin silk skirt, lace bodice with boat neck and a sewn in clear rhinestone belt. So I took photos to the best seamstress in ATL area and the owner of the shop made it for me. It was gorgeous and fit me to perfection. I still spent about 800-1000 having it made but it was still less than buying it from Neiman Marcus. If you have to have it, you can have it made for you.
Accurate. I come from a family of seamstresses, and have worn many couture dresses and other clothes made by my mom, aunt, and grandma. It's a lot of work. My mom and my aunt actually made my wedding dress. Although my great grandma was a seamstress for the governor's wife in Kansas decades ago. I got in huge trouble as a kid when I accidentally cut up a pattern my mom was making me.
Right! I wish more channels that made ‘online VS. reality’ content would do this more! It’s absolutely amazing to see the amount of details and differences. Especially personally, as a DIY bxtch & cosplayer, where I personally have HAD to fabricate a LOT (for myself tho mostly my friends) and can not figure out a sewing machine to save my life, so I hand sew everything lmao (improperly i’m certain)
These well-fitted luxury dresses are meant to be tailored to your body, because no two people have the same measurements. You should try buying these about 1-2 sizes over, so if you decided you did want it you could have it tailored.
@@heatherduke7703 your basically remaking a dress . You have to take it apart to put it back together again. I know of someone who got a wedding dress for 1k then had to get alterations for another 1k. My friend had a figure similar to hope but my friend is much shorter.
Omg Hope!! Please let us know what happens with that bodysuit and if you get your money back. That is absolutely awful for someone to do that, I cannot believe you received the same outfit twice! All the other dresses were gorgeous on you though ❤
I gotta say that I really love Hope's positive attitude. Even when things don't work out, she keeps a good attitude and a smile and it's just really refreshing to see. But that last sparkly jumpsuit is probably one of the worst scams that I've ever seen and I seriously hope that she is able to get a full refund. It wasn't even a decent knockoff like there was absolutely no structure or shape to the jumpsuit whatsoever. It looked like someone took a piece of cheap sparkly fabric and then cut arms and legs into it and just shipped it off. It was so bad it honestly looked like you could have gotten something better off of Fashion Nova or even Wish and that's just beyond ridiculous. The first two dresses were beautiful though, and I thought that this was a really cool idea for a video because I know that I've wondered the exact same thing about a lot of these clothing sites that pop up in your ads that are obviously scams.
Hope's channel has recently become almost a comfort channel. It's always so wholesome and positive. I love watching her videos so much, they are perfect to watch at the end of a stressful day.
I am still so amazed that people can look at those professional pics of the real dress and think that they were going to get that dress for $160. I don’t think I could go to Macy’s and buy a dress that I liked for $160. Much less some complex thing with sequins and cut outs.
The disappointment in the jumpsuit reached through the screen and I felt it with you! Devastating! The other dresses (and the haircut, I see you) looked amazingly good, as usual! ❤❤ I've binged all your videos in the last 2 weeks and subscribed! RUclips algorithm is working in your favor right now!! 😂 😉
Her internet sleuthing skills are mid, she couldn’t find the real version of most of the dresses and didn’t show any follow up searches for dresses when she thought she was onto something, reverse image searching doesn’t make you a sleuth
You’ve done amazing finding these; without being my OCD picky self I think the purple one is still a dupe but an AMAZING dupe! The stripes on the front chest area has more than the picture
I can't believe that the company that sent her that dress gave her a refund! How in the world can they think anyone would accept such a subpar product??
I have to wonder/worry if AI art is going to start becoming the new fake photos of non-existent cute dresses. 😢 It will be even harder to determine what is real vs knockoff online.
I mean the good news is that most of the ai art generators I know of leave an intentional internet footprint so you can reverse image search it and see that it's ai generated, but are most people really going to go to those lengths to verify?
@@emmaisliterate1047 AI is getting better and better, so hopefully there will be laws in place to force sellers to mark an AI image as such very clearly, or face a penalty if caught. Kind of like how if you are sponsoring a product, you have to say so (on Instagram at least.) I kind of wish it were a requirement already. Maybe we'll get there.
@@Snow-xd4rv AI doesn't have to copy an existing dress. It can generate one, and it could look super fancy and fabulous and real. Then fast fashion companies that normally steal other people's images could use a fake AI image and send a knock off loosely based on how it looks, just like how they currently operate. At least that is more my concern.
My mom said that first yellow dress looks like something Belle from Beauty And The Beast would wear in modern time, and I one hundred percent agree!! It looks so so pretty on you, I hope you love all the dresses you got 💜💜💜💜
Thanks for teaching us that sometime even if something is expensive it can be a scam too! Everyone should double-check everything when they are ordering something
oh my god. the jumpsuit. what do you even do in that situation? but the first two dresses you got- PERFECT!! they're gorgeous, and the colors look so good on you
I literally felt so pissed for you with the jumpsuit lol. I absolutely loved the real dresses on you they were beautiful quality and suited you so much. I hope you're gonna put the jumpsuit back and get a refund ❤
Online shopping is a skill of mine. I would gladly investigate and find the real deal of any thing you’re hoping to buy, like seriously, happy to help. I was so glad to see you finally whip out reverse image search but then so sad when you fell for the jumpsuit… again. These expectations vs reality videos hurt my heart for you.
@@hopescope I found it, it’s by Yousef Al-Jasmi, who is a specialist in hand applying Swarovski crystals to dresses (which I figured, because if it had been done by machine it wouldn’t sit on top, it would have crushed the rhinestones underneath).
@@campbeachpetite not at all! I lucked out because I recognized the Swarovski crystals and, from there, found the singer Anitta performing in the jumpsuit (the article called it a “catsuit”). But before I figured it out I hit one or two dead-ends that were my own fault. I only knew what to look for because I’m studying to break into the industry. “I’m looking for a designer who specializes in high-end hand beading” is not something a layperson would know offhand. I am sure your research skills are amazing.
@@biguattipoptropica I also found it through Anitta lol - I happened into a picture of her wearing it for the 2021 Latin Grammy and then was able to find an article about her looks for the night. Great minds!
Terry Costa is a legit brand and company! They have some physical stores and I bought a senior prom dress at one back in high school. Their dresses are gorgeous but highly overpriced.
I hope “sus sack” is here to stay because it’s fun to say, and I’m definitely using this on my parents next time a package comes with absolutely zero context 😂
Never seen a RUclipsr do this, but I love it! Creating art takes time and quality materials, so the expense makes sense. Can’t believe the audacity of that scammer though!
10:14 GIRLLL!! did u not realise the manican in the photo was 100% like an online character they edited! plus the boat looking like a roblox boat! (coming from a sailor)
That last one is outrageous! But, hate to say it, the pink one is NOT the original. Or at least, it's not the one in the first photograph. Compare the two photos: the original dress has thick, raised ribbing/boning on the cups. Hope's dress does not. The front of the original dress is smooth and seamless. Hope's dress has a waist seam, and an off-center side seam. Not the same dress.
EDIT I THINK I FOUND THE JUMPSUIT DESIGNER! Mia Bella The Label has Jovani as a designer. The jumpsuits are super similar to the knockoff, and are all priced in the believable range ($700-1,900) While I'm sad you didn't get the real jumpsuit, I'm glad for content that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Thank you for brightening our day Hope!!
Thank you for one for the team and trying to find the actual dresses for us! I feel so bad for the last one! I would simply pass away if I bought the same thing but for over $2000 more. 😢😢😢
You should do a video where you buy Tiffany style lamps from cheap websites to see if its a good deal or if you get scammed. I’m moving to college in august and have this whole idea for my dorm; Open windows, vintage decor, visible wood, orange lights and to put it all together, a Tiffany style lamp. I’m already looking into the decor and everything but the only issue so far is Tiffany lamps are SO expensive, even second hand ones are! It would be SICK to find an affordable one but I can’t afford possibly getting scammed again. Anyways love your video! I just found ur second account too so I’m currently binge watching those videos haha
More of this please! Love detective Hope! I also wonder how the designers feel about their dresses being viral without anyone knowing who actually made them.
What I loved is that all the people who said that you didn’t have the correct shape for the outfits and that’s why they looked so bad can now get lost! You looked amazing in the real versions and have a beautiful figure.
Living vicariously through you as you find the real dresses, it's a big gamble sometimes to shop online and I'm loving that you were able to find some legit dresses. LIVING for this content!
These dresses are fabulous. It's still amazes me how in our contemporary era people are still stealing others' ideas and work and nothing is being done about it.
As a seamstress these knock offs are awful at the same time some of them are very impressive because it still takes skill to copy the techniques even if badly. Btw I just *love* your content, you're amazing and so fun! And a bonus for me personally is that we have the exact same body shape so I can imagine myself in these when I watch you! Makes it twice as hard not to want some of the things you put up for sale though 😂
I wish Hope would learn a bit about fabric types, construction, indicators of quality versus junk, and for the love of God, order dresses that fit her!
My gosh, does everyone who commented seriously believe those were the original, legitimate dresses?? They’re CLEARLY not. People are SO pathetically gullible and naive.
The lavender dress is beautiful on you! Such a bummer about the bodysuit, I can't believe the same sparkle monstrosity showed up to your house again 😭 we need an update on if you get that refund 😅 such a fun video nonetheless!
Not me watching this video a year after it was posted. When you said that you were giving away a purse at 3m, I was like girl you have over 5 million subscribers 😂❤(love your videoes)
Ain't no wayyy😂! When I saw that it was the SAME jumpsuit I gasped lmao. Man it really shows how these shopping sites really be ripping people off real bad😭. In other good news though, you looked absolutely lovely in that purple dress Hope😻🤍.
For that last piece.....Girl you should've definitely checked the weight of the package and gladly accepted that refund!....... The universe was CLEARLY giving you a helping hand 😂😅
Honestly, Hope, you're just the best for doing these videos... love the way you just tell us the actual stuff while others try to hide the truth.. Keep goin gurlyyy!
Thank you for the laughs! Watched with my daughters and they were squealing with laughter. Such a fun video! Sorry about that last jumpsuit though. WOW! The audacity!
It's absolutely disgusting that it's so normal for companies to do this. It's awful on so many levels. It's bad enough for workers who create super cheap fast fashion for horrible pay and conditions. But there are probably the same situation with these expensive knock offs except the workers get payed the same unlivable wage 😢 great video though, very interesting!
That purple one is gorgeous! Also I love how you have some self respect by wearing the little shorts underneath! I just subscribed your awesome Hope such a sweetie and so cheerful 💕
We have to admit she always makes our day and always puts a smile on our face keep at girl we are all routing you on!!! Btw you are my fav RUclipsr who agrees???!!!!❤😊 👇
we've all been bamboozled lol 🙄 out of all the authentic dresses, purple dress was def my fave 💜

I hope “sus sack” is here to stay because it’s fun to say, and I’m definitely using this on my parents next time a package comes with absolutely zero context 😂
I LOVE your outfit and hair during the shopping part! The short hair is a vibe and love the top!
Never seen a RUclipsr do this, but I love it! Creating art takes time and quality materials, so the expense makes sense. Can’t believe the audacity of that scammer though!
The first one is like what I imagine Belle wearing in 2023
10:14 GIRLLL!! did u not realise the manican in the photo was 100% like an online character they edited! plus the boat looking like a roblox boat! (coming from a sailor)
I absolutely LOVE how hope is SO ENTERTAINING and full of energy and we should all appreciate all the work she put some puts into these video’s !
I live for the saying "Cheaper don't always mean best" even thought some time you can get lucky
That last one is outrageous! But, hate to say it, the pink one is NOT the original. Or at least, it's not the one in the first photograph. Compare the two photos: the original dress has thick, raised ribbing/boning on the cups. Hope's dress does not. The front of the original dress is smooth and seamless. Hope's dress has a waist seam, and an off-center side seam. Not the same dress.
EDIT I THINK I FOUND THE JUMPSUIT DESIGNER! Mia Bella The Label has Jovani as a designer. The jumpsuits are super similar to the knockoff, and are all priced in the believable range ($700-1,900)
While I'm sad you didn't get the real jumpsuit, I'm glad for content that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Thank you for brightening our day Hope!!
It’s jovani - dorinda, probably
No way!!! I’m going to go check them out!! Thanks 😆
Not THE Jovani of Luann VS Dorinda Jovani? 😂

Actually devastated for you, I’d be throwing hands after paying that much for the jump suit 😭😭😭
I am crying from laughing so hard at the last jump suit tryon. OMG so funny, but sad. Glad to read you got your money back!
Lena Barisha’s dress designs, their creativity, skill and craftsmanship are outstanding. Omg. Pure works of art. They are dresses for goddesses.
Thank you for one for the team and trying to find the actual dresses for us! I feel so bad for the last one! I would simply pass away if I bought the same thing but for over $2000 more. 😢😢😢
That purple dress looks SO GOOD on Hope!!
You should do a video where you buy Tiffany style lamps from cheap websites to see if its a good deal or if you get scammed. I’m moving to college in august and have this whole idea for my dorm; Open windows, vintage decor, visible wood, orange lights and to put it all together, a Tiffany style lamp. I’m already looking into the decor and everything but the only issue so far is Tiffany lamps are SO expensive, even second hand ones are! It would be SICK to find an affordable one but I can’t afford possibly getting scammed again. Anyways love your video! I just found ur second account too so I’m currently binge watching those videos haha
I love when hope does videos like this when she buys the real version of the scam dresses!❤
More of this please! Love detective Hope! I also wonder how the designers feel about their dresses being viral without anyone knowing who actually made them.
I'm surprised by how much I love the purple dress... not many people could rock that, but Hope definitely does!
8:35 The package looked so sus 😂
THAT’S MY FAVOURITE 😍 OH MY GOD! My fav colour is yellow and l love 💗 it!🎉🎉
Oh my gosh! The short hair frames her face so well!
What I loved is that all the people who said that you didn’t have the correct shape for the outfits and that’s why they looked so bad can now get lost!
You looked amazing in the real versions and have a beautiful figure.
My only issue was the yellow one was bunched up around her hips, she has a really flattering figure but the fabric bunching completely destroyed it
Living vicariously through you as you find the real dresses, it's a big gamble sometimes to shop online and I'm loving that you were able to find some legit dresses. LIVING for this content!
The pictures for the jumpsuit looked photoshopped to me like the model had been photoshopped onto the boat 8:10
These dresses are fabulous. It's still amazes me how in our contemporary era people are still stealing others' ideas and work and nothing is being done about it.
As a seamstress these knock offs are awful at the same time some of them are very impressive because it still takes skill to copy the techniques even if badly.
Btw I just *love* your content, you're amazing and so fun! And a bonus for me personally is that we have the exact same body shape so I can imagine myself in these when I watch you! Makes it twice as hard not to want some of the things you put up for sale though 😂
I wish Hope would learn a bit about fabric types, construction, indicators of quality versus junk, and for the love of God, order dresses that fit her!
My gosh, does everyone who commented seriously believe those were the original, legitimate dresses?? They’re CLEARLY not. People are SO pathetically gullible and naive.
The lavender dress is beautiful on you! Such a bummer about the bodysuit, I can't believe the same sparkle monstrosity showed up to your house again 😭 we need an update on if you get that refund 😅 such a fun video nonetheless!
8:04 honestly the pictures look like AI
You should’ve wore that to the iris tour would be the perfect fearless dress❤❤
Short hair Hope is such a vibe! 😂😂
Not me watching this video a year after it was posted. When you said that you were giving away a purse at 3m, I was like girl you have over 5 million subscribers 😂❤(love your videoes)
I thought a dress I bought for prom was going to be not what it is, but I'm happier with it. It was from poshmark
I LOVE how hope is SO ENTERTAINING and full of energy and we should ALL appreciate how much work she puts into these videos !
Your videos make my day! I find it amazing that the structure of those fake versions are so bad! You look amaziiiing in the real version! ❤
Congratulations with 3.25mil! 🎉🎉🎉
Love you and love this video. I have always wondered what the real version of all the fails looked like. Thanks for keeping me entertained!❤
Can we just appreciate how pretty and put together she look i mean i would expect nothing less from our Queen!!!!
Just saying this upfront, this is not an insult. That first dress looks like sexy, melted butter, and I'm loving it❤
omg!!! the short hair rlly fits u hope! ik im late but at least i can support u in some way.
Some of these scams can get so bad it’s pathetic.
This video is so awesome knowing she got the one she paid for!
Hope is so awesome ❤❤❤
7:34 omg that may be the worst one yet 🤣 edit: oh h*ll no, get your money back. That's crazy!!
Can we just notice house stunning hope looks really pretty in all the dresses ❤
The purple dress that you wear is giving me aerial vibes
Ain't no wayyy😂! When I saw that it was the SAME jumpsuit I gasped lmao. Man it really shows how these shopping sites really be ripping people off real bad😭. In other good news though, you looked absolutely lovely in that purple dress Hope😻🤍.
11:06 this last one was physically painful…
For that last piece.....Girl you should've definitely checked the weight of the package and gladly accepted that refund!....... The universe was CLEARLY giving you a helping hand 😂😅
Honestly, Hope, you're just the best for doing these videos... love the way you just tell us the actual stuff while others try to hide the truth.. Keep goin gurlyyy!
Thank you for the laughs! Watched with my daughters and they were squealing with laughter. Such a fun video! Sorry about that last jumpsuit though. WOW! The audacity!
5:35 GURL YOU SLAYYYYYYY
It's absolutely disgusting that it's so normal for companies to do this. It's awful on so many levels. It's bad enough for workers who create super cheap fast fashion for horrible pay and conditions. But there are probably the same situation with these expensive knock offs except the workers get payed the same unlivable wage 😢 great video though, very interesting!
That purple one is gorgeous! Also I love how you have some self respect by wearing the little shorts underneath! I just subscribed your awesome Hope such a sweetie and so cheerful 💕
We have to admit she always makes our day and always puts a smile on our face keep at girl we are all routing you on!!! Btw you are my fav RUclipsr who agrees???!!!!❤😊
