Hope - do you remember the tactic I shared with you a few years back about the pics on these websites? If they have the head of the model cut off, it is almost always a rip off! This has helped me so much trying to navigate today’s online shopping madness. Much ❤ Hope and fam
I think Hope should pin this comment for these videos, so that more people can know about it!
@@ancairinadumitru3306 she liked the last comment I made and even commented back, I’m don’t think she pinned it though. That’s why I asked her if she remembered because she did see it. I don’t normally ask popular creators if they remember a comment from little old me.
You can also reverse image search the photo thru google! This is how I figure out if something is a scam.
A website I use to buy clothes has some photos with the model’s face and others are censored but it’s that websites product.
@@pissum420 I am sure there are some exceptions or really good knock offs on occasion, but I think the reason the heads are chopped off are because it is only a replica and 99% of the time it is nowhere near what it should be. I think most of the time these websites that you almost always get from SOCIAL MEDIA are crap if they are not an established brand or a small time biz with the owner being the face or highly involved. I have not bought from any of these kinds of websites since I got burned by a Facebook clothing company, this was probably 2015-2016. Almost $100 and nothing was wearable of it did show up. I’ve been to Japan, it was obvious it was Asian sizing. I was not a skinny girl when I went to Japan, but I did try on a jacket that fit me around the chest and stomach but the arms were still too short and I’m only like 5’5”. I have no idea what the sizing charts are like on these websites because I know not to shop from them (I doubt they even offer my size) but some of these designs could have that as an issue too.
The point is no heads on models should be taken as a red flag. It can’t hurt to be cautious. They’re hoping you’ll buy because it seems like it’s a good deal and only kinda sketchy 😂 this grift has been going on a good decade between FB/Insta, I feel like it should be a class action lawsuit lol. They should be vetting who they “sponsor” or whatever term they use for that platform.
That's so sweet of you to donate these dresses as a material haul for one of your viewers. It would be great if the person sent you "after" photos that you could share with us Hopefuls! 😊
I am no sewing expert, but I feel like these could be made into some super cool doll outfits for someone with the right skills... or maybe I still have the AG video on the brain. lol
@@laurabadora414that's a good idea
I gave you a 200th like bc you deserve kt
YASSSS
I have u the 380 like!
Safiya Nygaard did a video tracking tiktok ads for the same dress. From her video investigation, yes, I think hope's statement about buying and re-selling is accurate. Personally I think it's just safer to stay far far away from social media ads unless its a big name brand. The risk isn't worth it.
I have a $10 dollar rule; if it's under $10 I'll get something, if it shows up and it's nice I might go back and make other purchases. I also have a specific online account that saves me from no shows.
Mia Maples did a haul where she found the real dresses that the fast fashion’s have stolen the pics and done cheap knockoffs of. Some or them were stunning.
Hope tried to find real dresses in one of her vids too
I think the black skirt shown around 9:00 was sideways haha
In the pics, there was little panel in the front and slits on the side and the rouching makes more sense on the sides then on the front and back
It worked that way too though so i could be wrong!
It was 😂
I saw this too! I liked that dress on her and I feel like it might look even better if it was turned the right way!!
Your not wrong hope was wrong
I came to say the same thing
I was thinking the same thing
The second dress, the black and mesh one is originally by the brand God Save Queens. It's their Carmen dress and it retails for about $230. Unfortunately, as we all saw, this site is just another scam 😪
I thought that instantly! I have a couple dresses from GSQ and I was like tf is one of their dresses doing in this video??
This is why we thrift!
I recently found a dress and got it for $1! (Special sale at the thrift place)
I later searched up the brand and found out the dress was worth $300-$700!
It also fits me perfectly and was completely worth it!
(I also got a cardigan for $1 which was worth $100-$150)
All the thrift stores around my area are super expensive. Goodwill being the worst charity thrift store price wise almost as much or more than private resale shops.
Normally the thrift store I go to sells things for $7-$30 but they had a Christmas sale where every single thing was just $1, I saw a wedding dress there… for $1. It was incredibly busy there and I’m surprised I found the things I did! Most stuff was long gone.
Where I live, thrift shops are more expensive than normal shops. Since the hipster movement started about 15 years ago
@@syndiKAT_ I’m so sorry about that! Hopefully there are some good options that aren’t fast fashion for you!
I LOVE my thrift store too! I got a brand new cardigan (original price tag still on it for $89.50) for $1. They have dollar days and I've found brand new clothes there several times
Dearest Hope. I love that you do this and just show it as it is . Because most of the time , when we get clothes that are shipped from these unknown brands ...we sometimes feel as if that MAYBE... JUST MAYBE .... it doesnt look good because it is ON ME! but I love your honesty and your videos are just so cute and you;re just a light!!!! thank you Hope !
This video is definitely informative for folks who don't know that a lot of these Instagram brands are curated drop shippers. Is the goal here to see if this is a real brand and what the quality is? Or is it to see if they drop ship? Would reverse image searching these items address the question of drop shipping? It's cool that Hope gives away the material, though I'd love to see more investigation prior purchasing rather than purchasing and then doing investigation. It'd be more eco friendly to only buy if there's no red flags. Reverse image searching can tell you pretty quickly if something is fake/going to be drop shipped.
but this is easy content that many people love. how could a social media person turn down this "lazy" money? do you really think that anyone on youtube is actually interested in eco friendliness?
I shared that if the picture has the model’s head cut off, it is almost always a rip off. I shared that with Hope a few years back, and she liked and commented back. I wish she would let ppl know that in the video, but I always do appreciate when she takes one for the team and spends $100s on these hauls so no one else makes the mistake of ordering from these places.
@@AmandaPanda83Honestly though she's giving these people money that they don't deserve. If we stop buying from obvious scams then we can fight back
Safiya Nygaard has done a pretty detailed video on these type of websites who steal images from legit websites and do drop shipping. You can check it out on her channel, it's from couple of months back.
Mia Maples should make a dress for you out of the fabric, collab :)
Yes!!!!
OMG YES!!!
I'm sure this page is a dropshipping page. So they buy those dresses for cheap from temu, alibaba etc. and sell them for higher prices. It's a shame that people are still falling for it.
Hope just wanted to say that I admire you so much for coming on here and being unapologetically comfortable in your body. You and I have very similar body types and I’ve been watching your videos for years now. You always make me feel more confident in myself :)
Same but because she looks good so it makes me feel like maybe I’m just self conscious
@@ango1277 love I totally understand that but remember we are our own toughest critics. I promise you an outsider won’t view you that way! Think about how you see others, like hope, who are your size. I think hope and mid sized girls are gorgeous and curvy but have a hard time applying that to myself
I love how Hope buys stuff so we don't need to be scammed! Stay safe out there!
Nobody should be stupid enough to fall prey to these garbage clothing sites.
I kno its garbage but im poor af😭, these videos help to actually see if these cheap shops are a complete scam or they do actually send u the clothes🥲
@@dayns4633how do u not kno by now. u hav to b pretty dense to fall fo them.
Ah yea she saves your life.
Some of these dresses have so much potential and would look gorgeous on you. I would definitely be in for a video where you get all the ‘real’ dresses.
I was thinking the same thing would love to see the real dresses!
A lot of the photos on their website are stolen from an Australian brand called Outcast clothing 😊
I understand that hope wants to try the amazing trendy dresses but I really wish she’d throw in a casual normal dress for everyday wear and see how that turns out !!
If you look at the model in the black dress, the mirror says "that's so fetch" which is a brand they stole from! Hope this helps
Long time lurker, first time I'm commenting. I'd love to see you finding the original dresses and comparing them! It'd also be a nice way to give some publicity to the original creators who are getting their creations stolen while shedding some light on a sadly way too common issue that exists on almost all platforms.
Coming in way late to agree! Maybe a reverse Google image search would help - it's usually very good at picking up duplicate images, and with a bit of digging you might be able to find the original creator. And if you don't have enough time, I'm positive some of your subscribers would be thrilled to help (I definitely would - people ripping off creators' work makes me so cranky!)
and you know Hope will actually deep dive to find the real dresses from the pictures because she’s our bestie and NEVER disappoints in her videos!
They’re from outcastclothing
When they don’t show the models face it’s stolen pics.
For anyone trying to figure out how to tell if the websites are fake, I work in fashion and these are somethings I noticed:
1. The pictures had visibile photoshop around the model to make them white background pictures, which is red flag 1.
2. The designs are stolen, for example, the black dress that was cutout and mesh is from the brand god save queens. So that's red flag 2.
3. In general the pictures with their heads cut off means the pictures were stolen and doctored 90% of the time.
4. Some of these brands even get the dress and shoot them on 1 model to make a cohesive looking website, so then you check the size guide. If you are normally an M and the size chart says you are an XL, that usually is because of China's obsession with thinness and their fashion industry has highly dysmorphic sample sizing and thats a red flag.
5. Finally if each dress's size guide changes and if one dress fits you in L and the other one in M and the third one in XL, red flag.
There's much more about fabric beyond these but these are the best visible primary cues.
Happy shopping! Dont support these websites they have slave labour and the same sellers and sometimes even warehouses as Temu, Shein, Urbanic, Romwe, AliExpres, DHGate etc.
These are definitely the cheapest looking dresses you ever put in a video 😂 It was very entertaining 🤪
CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP! Thanks Hope for protecting all of us Hopefuls!💖
On the black dress, you were wearing the skirt sideways! The scrunched up parts are supposed to be on the side, that’s why the skirt was weird!
The black one had some potential, but you've put it on incorrectly. 😅
I really love the asymmetrical blue ruffle maxi dress! I would love to see a follow-up video where you find the real dresses. 😍
Poor Hope! I don't think I've ever seen you look so defeated after a dress haul! HOPEfully the next one will yield better results!! ❤
Of course no pockets to carry all the audacity
LOVE YOUR POSITIVITY AND ABILITY TO LAUGH AT ALL THESE FAILS!
hope is so energetic and fun, she seems like she would be such a good friend
Like if u are a real hopefull
Mee!!
Wdym "the" real hopeful??
Wdym
MEEE
@@Tortured_Poetfromthedepartmentprobably meant “a” most likely a mistype or auto correct
Seeing the hope slowly draining from your soul was so sad. Usually, you have something good to say. It both made me want to hug and you laugh at the same time.
Hi Hope! This video was hilarious although not funny to be scammed! The dresses were so cute on the pictures. My 11 year old daughter absolutely loves clothes and I think we could do a lot with these beautiful fabrics. She is planning to be a designer and have already drawn lots! Just let me know if you want us to show you some, it would be great to make reality of her drawings! 💖 Take care!
Hope, you are never the problem 😂 you make all the dresses look great… but thank you for this!! Makes me think twice when ordering 😂
hey Hope, I just thought of this - take all these dresses to someone who does custom design and have them make other outfits/dresses out of whatever you bought. Might be more worth your money.
So many of these give me Loreta vibes. It's an Aussie brand that has so many dresses that are very your vibe. I've bought from them in the past and their dresses are such good quality
"Ok lets put it on" in a meek voice 😂 that got me!
The top dress had grinch vibes with its sleeves 😂
Aww and leo watching you try on the dresses is adorable, hes like "who are you mum"?😂
Nothing beats a new video from Hope in this boring Saturday of mine! Love your videos Hope!! Love YOU! 🥰
I absolutely love hope's hair color. Looks so good on her. ❤
Hope - you should definitely try to find as many of these real dresses as you can, and then make a video trying them on and comparing them to these ones.
I love that you are willing to spend your $300, so we do t have too! You're videos are awesom. I'm ADDICTED and binge watch daily...LOL!!!
If you have any of the dresses left, I'd love some of the fabric to make some Barbie clothing for my niece. And maybe a few other things.
Thanks for ALL you do for us Hopefuls out here.
Hopes look of concern every time she opened a package😂😂😂 So sad the most expensive one didn’t show up. Love u Hope❤❤
Mesh dress for 25$ is originally from the brand God Save Queens. You should get the original one to compare!
I LOVE your dog’s contributions to this 😂 very cute and helpful
Usually watching a cheap dress haul is humorous, but this just brings me anxiety.
Ahhhhh HOPE! Can you do another buying from small business video I loved it! ❤❤❤I also have a small biz!❤❤❤
I thoughttttt I recognized a couple of those dresses. I was scanning the For Love and Lemons new year sale section not too long ago. At least two of the designs on this seller's page (or maybe also the images) are stolen from FL&L
I’d love to see you track down the legit versions of these and try them on ❤
My favorite videos you do are when you buy things on the internet people advertise like weird websites or TikTok ads and show us what it’s really like the whole experience. Thank you! Saved me lots of time and money and no longer have fomo
Love you Hope ,you'r team and Leo .You are putting so much effort in you're videos. You are the best of the best❤❤❤
I love the amount of passion and determination hope has for making content to make her audience happy! Love u hope ❤❤
Oh, there's so much potential for costumes with those dresses! That silver one gave chainmail vibes. Too bad I don't DM - I'd LOVE to have these for the material.
Lee having a time in the back on the bed while you're having a mini meltdown about the dress that took 2 months to be delivered 😅. Lee is life 😂😂 in this moment !!
Whenever hope posts you know its gonna be a good day ❤❤❤❤
I just bought a new sewing machine and I would LOVE to flip the clothes and make BETTER things out of it.
Maybe I could film the whole process and keep you guys updated? :D 😍
Unfortunately I don’t have Instagram, so I hope that this comment counts.
Absolutely loving your hair ❤❤
I LOVE YOUR LOVER SWEATSHIRT!! we can leave the Christmas lights up tiiiillll janurayyyy
I really liked the first dress! The color combination is so fun and stylish, I would honestly love a dress like this😳
girl what
Fr@@SophiaArechiga
She can complain about the quality, but it is exactly like the picture 😅
@@SophiaArechiga what
I agree. I thought it looked good on Hope! I would wear it!
I love when Hope posts! I have been sick and Hope has been my comfort person to watch! Thanks for being awesome!
Omg I love you’re content I have been watching you science 2021 I love you
Please do a deep dive on this subject!! If you squint your eyes and look at them, most of them are cute!🥰
Your dog is so cute and thank you for your honest review on this website and helping people save their money on crappy clothes❤❤
They do this on Amazon as well I was strapped on time (procrastination got the best of me) and my only hope was to find a decent dress from Amazon with very little hope mind you. I seen sooo many dresses for sale that were bought from SHEIN and being sold for like double even triple the price. I laughed so damn hard.
I find EVERYTHING except books and electronics is overpriced on amazon, the only thing that keeps the business going otherwise is one-day shipping. But if you have time you'd be much better off buying from local stores, that sometimes have even best quality, locally made options.
I love the new hair I just absolutely love it. It fits you so well.
Hope, you are never the problem! Clothes are supposed to fit us your not supposed to fit them!! I love your videos sm btw!! ❤❤
9:17 maybe reverse the skirt by 90 degrees
You know it’s bad when the person who always has at least one nice thing to say about the things they’re reviewing can only come up with “it’s the best one so far but it wasn’t worth it” 😂
You really need to do a DEEP dive Hope investigation into these clothes! Now THAT would be very interesting!
You and Mia maples should do another collab where you send her your worst dresses and she alters them and makes them wearable for you!
I think you wore the black outfit wrong the skirt Rouge goes on the sides
First! love your vids hope ❤❤❤❤
The black flowy 2 piece one you had the ruching in the middle and I think it was supposed to be worn on the side (from the photo at least) so try it on that way and see if it’s any better! Love you!
I love your hair!!! it looks similar to mine right now when you were doing the shopping and scoping out part!
Hope you're wearing the black skirt wrongly. The ruffed was supposed to be on the side
i dont like to comment on peoples appearances but i gotta say.. body is on point, hair is on point and the way you carry yourself ON POINT 💅 sending love your way queen 👑
👋🏼Hey Hope,
I have just discovered both your chanels and I must say, I absolutely LOVE your energy and videos. I have been binge watching all day since finding you.📺👀
I have been needing some positive energy in my life lately as I've been struggling with some horrific medical diagnosises. Let's just say, my life has been drastically shortened and there's nothing the doctors can do to save me and I've been struggling to cope with the news. Finding your channels have been a blessing to me because it's been a happy distraction from my reality. So, thank you. I hope you know, you're making a difference every day with your content. 💯
And if it's not too late, I'd love to attempt to recreate some new things with these fabrics with my time. If it is too late, that's okay too. I hope whoever the lucky viewer who got these comically terrible dresses is able to recreate them into something wonderful.🥰
Also, thank you for risking your hard earned dollars to show us all if these sites are legit or not. It's entertaining and educational. Keep up the phenomenal work! You have a new loyal viewer in me.❤
Sincerely Serene.🥰
Omg! I have been bombardier with these ads since this summer! I love the blue dress with the corset top, it have been in my basket since this summer, but I have been so suss about the page! 🙈 but that was the only dress that was still cute ❤❤
Those dresses were so awful that it was quite funny watching you trying them on! Your face as you opened each one was a picture! Lol
Lolll I love how hope hasn’t realized that she’s wearing the skirt wrong on the black dresss 😆
Hope! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! ❤
Glad I found your channel, love these videos.
You are BEAUTIFUL!!! I have no idea realistically who could wear ANY of these dresses, ok maybe the black one, but even watching this video, when you turned and walked away, it was see through 😳. These dresses must be made for someone Anorexic 😭...I do appreciate you purchasing and sharing your finds!! Im always looking for nice boutiques and really don't trust any online!! GREAT info!!! ❤
Hope you need baby blue hair in 2024! 💙
That would look aweeesomeeee
With her skin tone and those eye color it would be soo pretty. At least a wig in light blue or lavender pls 🎉
thank you so much for reviewing these websites so we don't end up getting scammed! is there any way you might be able to do a cheaper prom dress website? prom season is coming up and it would be super helpful if we knew which websites were actually good! thank you
Hope , your energy is giving “show us what you got for Christmas “ vibes 😂 also blue is one of your colors
I love how she wore the black skirt wrong😂
Only true Hopescope fans are aloud to like this comment ❤😊
Yeah!!!! Love you!
hopescope is my hype,girly girl, and over all the best youtuber
the blue dress which was so short on the side could be salvaged by adding an extra flounce beneath the existing one in solid from the darkest shade which is 3 or 4 inches longer, then you could still use it on vacation. I'm also in SLC, so I'd love to help, if you are interested.
The black one looks like it needs to be rotated a quarter turn, the photo looks to have double slits on the front. I think the ruched area goes on the sides.
Hope consistently orders clothes about a size small. Up a size girly! Love ya!
This was a truly horrible haul but sometimes in general, Hope isn't wearing the garments correctly or she didn't fully zip and/or button them which completely changes how the garment hangs on the body. Example, the skirt was turned in the cute black two piece, my fav BTW. It would help for Hope to have someone help her dress like in the OG days.
Hiii
Thank you for your service - when the dresses are bad, it's almost more valuable information! Because I will click and buy! lol Your videos help me to keep that in check! Number one lesson...be discerning!!! Don't believe the picture! Thanks Hope!!
I love the confidence i get from these videos, Hope is a beautiful girl but she isnt a size 00, she is a real woman with a real body and she makes me feel so valid.
First
The fabric is so cute and I’ve been looking for fabric to make a cute little jumpsuit and that would be perfect!
The dresses are made for the models in the pics and you don’t have that body type. That’s why they don’t look how the ad looks 🤷🏽♂️ You just have a realistic woman’s body 👌🏽
First person
She is just the sweetest person and she mostly gives us hopefuls most of her stuff
keep doing these videos these are very fun to watch
I love your videos, Hopescope! I'm a huge fan!
i love your hairrrr❤
