Maggie Sottero Authenticity! Help

Do all maggie sottero bridal gowns come with an authenticity certificate? I am from the UK and am in contact with a person who says that it only applies to maggies bought abroad! The gown in question is a "Jiulie" which on the sites I have seen comes with a stole, this person in question says it didn`t in the UK and the lady was offered a jacket which she turned down as she did not like it! I have seen pics and it looks exactly like a "JULIE"
Please help, as time is precious to me!

Hi,

The certificates should be with every dress. I am not sure why she does not have one...
I just bought one myself (that I am now selling b/c I am having an outdoor wedding) and you better believe I would be upset if that certificate wasn`t there.

...If you are paying less than 300 for the dress, I guess it would be ok because you would pay that much for almost any dress. But if you are paying more, I would reconsider.

BTW, I do have a gown for sale.

There is a gown called "Crystal New York" that looks quite similar to the "Julie" gown, but comes with a bolero jacket instead of a stole. Not sure, but maybe it`s that one instead.

If you can`t obtain the certificate of authenticity, I`d say ask for photos of of the tags at least.

Hope that helps.

All maggies have a certificate of authenticity. I have a wonderful Sarchi, sz. 10 for sale, certified Maggie Sottero gown. Never hemmed. Absolutely the most wonderful, slimming bridal gown in the world. I have all of the jewelry, as seen on the model I will sell all that I have, including veil, dress, tiara, choker, earings, slip, purse, wrap... All of it, for $1300.00. Check the price of the jewelry. The tiara itself is nearly $600. This is a package deal of a lifetime and I am sharing it because it is meant for a princess that can`t afford retail.
