Buying a dress online??


Recommended Posts

Have any of you brides bought your wedding dress and/or bridesmaids dress online?

Feedback on quality is appreciated! 

I have looked at sites like lightinthebox and dinodirect and while the dresses are SO cheap I am concerned about the quality.

Anyone has any experience?

There is a thread on here called "knock off dresses" there is ALOT of info on there.

 

I bought my dress off someone on ebay. It was an Inspiration of an original. and im planning on buying the bridesmaids dresses online.

I have not purchased a dress online. However, I recommend that you purchase 'Bridal Bargains' or borrow this book from the library.  It has a very extensive chapter on wedding dresses, and discusses the quality and ratings for a number of online outlets.  In addition, they have a forum for updates and further discussion. I hope this helps---good luck!

I purchased my wedding dress online without even trying it on first! (Crazy, i know, lol!) I bought it from Vows bridal salon just outside Boston, MA. They are the store that has that show on TLC, I Found the Gown.  I had excellent customer service from them and got my dress for less than half off retail price... and it's the real deal! Highly recommend them!!

 

I also just purchased my bridesmaids dresses online from a store in Minneapolis called the Wedding Shoppe http://www.weddingshoppeinc.com/. I wont receive them until sometime in Aug/Sept but the service has been great as well!

 

Good luck with your hunt! :)

You are welcome! There are lots of bridal bargains books, but this is a great one. If you have a kindle, you can download a chapter or two for free.  (I think the chapter is on invitations, rather than dresses though.)
