At Sydney's Closet we make it a top priority to fight fake Prom and Wedding dresses produced by Chinese factories selling directly to consumers. Counterfeiting hurts everyone's bottom line. .

Phyllis Brasch Librach, president and founder of Sydney's Closet, serves as vice-president of the American Bridal and Prom Industry Association.  ABPIA, a non profit trade group, is leading the legal, political and social war against counterfeiters.

And making serious progress:

• 9 million counterfeit web pages taken down by ABPIA
• 1,500 counterfeit sites seized by ABPIA in federal court  
• 5 prominent members of U.S. Congress back ABPIA's cause to strengthen laws and regulations
• 4 government agencies work with ABPIA including Customs, the FBI and Homeland Security

The cost of the counterfeits is staggering. They rob our industry of an estimated $40 million dollars in market share each month.  That is more than $400 million a year.

ABPIA's mission is to:

• protect the Prom and Bridal industry from counterfeit products
• better educated consumers on the dangers of counterfeit products
• provide benefits to member to help strengthen their profitability

Membership is FREE to all retailers.
