How do you spot a fake Zimmerman dress?
To spot a fake Zimmerman dress, the brand recommends examining the stitching closely. Every seam on an authentic dress will have even, straight and secure stitching. Any imperfections will usually indicate a fake. Fabrics can also help you spot a knockoff. More than 60% of all Zimmerman dresses are made entirely from natural fibers, such as silk, cotton and wool, and most others contain at least some natural fibers. If a dress tag says it is made only from a synthetic fabric, such as polyester, it could be fake. If the dress has embroidered details, look at them under the light. Zimmerman typically uses a matte cotton thread for embroidery, so reflective, shiny embroidery can be a sign of reproduction. For further assistance with the authentication process, use the services of a certified appraiser or other experienced authenticator. Shop a selection of Zimmerman dresses on 1stDibs.
