Jackpot. The original design in the photo used real silk velvet and had stunning drape. The final used cheap poly velvet that was too heavy and didn’t have the same look at all. Ended up not buying it. And Sparkling Angel. The magazine photo was so beautiful, the crystals on the lapels very nice and tightly placed. The end result again was cheap. Fewer crystals used, metallic thread used around them to fill in lapel. This one I ordered but when I opened the box I was so turned off by the short-cut design I returned her. I get that the designers often used nicer fabric, but I agree with you, by going so much cheaper it does change the design. Sometimes it doesn’t matter, cleaner lines can sometimes camouflage cheap material. But Jackpot is a perfect example of cheap fabric simply not working for the delicate drape and ruffles. Too heavy, too stiff, totally changed the look. Sparkling Angel was an example of cutting corners on the details, but it was the details that were the focus.
