<p>I am sorry but I do not think buying your Bridal Gown on-line is a good idea!!! You are not saving a dime..and you risk a lot..even getting the incorrect style, size, even a soiled and damaged dress, including late delivery. Once these On-Line retailers get your order...you are stuck.</p>

I found my dream dress online, and then stumbled upon an eBay listing for it from a dressmaker in China. $170 later (still, I realize a bargain, but I am on an extremely tight budget) and it is no longer my dream dress. The original dress had straps, this one did not. The original dress had a beautiful lace jacket with a train. Mine has a jacket as well, but beautiful isn't the word to describe it. It looked nothing like the picture, was missing a button, and the seams looked like a 5-year old…
I found my dream dress online, and then stumbled upon an eBay listing for it from a dressmaker in China. $170 later (still, I realize a bargain, but I am on an extremely tight budget) and it is no longer my dream dress. The original dress had straps, this one did not. The original dress had a beautiful lace jacket with a train. Mine has a jacket as well, but beautiful isn't the word to describe it. It looked nothing like the picture, was missing a button, and the seams looked like a 5-year old put it together. I've decided to keep the dress itself, since it is well made. The jacket is a disaster and I've decided to not wear it at all. (Which is a shame, because that is the reason why I fell in love with the dress.) I'm now talking with someone about alterations. I have no idea how much that will cost.<br />

I wish I would have done the whole bridal store thing, just to try on a few and get a feel for what I like and am comfortable wearing.

<br />
Would you buy a car without test driving it first? If not, why would you choose to buy a wedding dress that way when it relates to one of the most important days of your life. There are many ways of saving money and budgeting yourself for your wedding, but your wedding dress, and even your <a href="http://www.maweddingphotos.com" rel="follow">wedding photographer</a> should not be something you look to compromise the quality of just to save money.<br />
<br />
Its a special once in a lifetime day, and it should be treated that way from the planning, shopping, preparations, and the way you choose to remember the day once its all said and done. So I would encourage you NOT to buy a dress online.<br />

No one loves a bargain more than I do but sometimes a bargain isn't always a bargain. When buying your gown at a full service shop like Precious Memories in Malden, MA, you receive the expertise of the bridal consultant for gown style, the perfect undergarments, matching accessories and total wedding fashion coordination for the whole party. We often customize styles to make it the total dream gown. You also have someone to hold your hand throughout the whole process. We are behind the scenes making sure of on-time deliveries and a strict quality control when the gown comes in. If there is a problem with it, we fight with the designer until it is perfect. Our expert seamstresses do not do outside alterations to ensure that the brides who bought their gown with us get our full and deserved attention. It is all steamed and pressed with bustforms, tissue paper, and a $20 specialized garment bag compimentary. We have warmed cold feet, calmed stressed nerves, settled cat fights, and reduced family tensions. We have been mother, sister, friend, psychologist, sounding boards. All in a beautiful setting that enhances the whole wedding planning process. It is not uncommon to spend an extra 20 hours with a bride in the planning process and we are honored with that priviledge. So if you bought online, are unhappy with what you received, don't have an experienced consultant to rectify it, have no one to hold accountable, run around and pay three times more for alterations that you should, and have to pay a cleaner to steam and press it, and find a bag to put it in, have you really saved in the long run or just stressed yourself out unnecessarily and made alot of work for yourself? Isn't it the one day in your whole life you want to be pampered like a princess? You and I are worth it.<br />
Keep it fun,<br />

Word of warning Christina. Based on conversations with the owner of a bridal shop and the workshops we put on, I would highly persuade you NOT to purchase online.<br />
1. Sizing issues<br />
2. Sketchy return policies<br />

Good advice Christina!<br />
I have to say that several Brides have brought those Chinese dresses to me for help after they arrive. They're a disaster in person, the fit is a crapshoot, the materials used are the worst you can possibly imagine. Then the horror of what it will cost to fix the gown and make it wearable? Get ready for $300. to $1000. for MAJOR Alterations. Aside from a Return Policy, you really should be able to ask for is a swatch of the fabric that will be used for your gown including…

Buying Wedding gown online is much convenient way to choose the best of you can afford. because you had the huge variety of wedding gown and their price tags to recognize and this is the best way to buy a wedding dress.... I think<br />
But the problem happens when the gown seller displays the good one and send you the other regards as worst one you didn't even think about.... Always beware when buy a wedding gown and try to approach a nearest one I means near your region.<br />

I wouldn't ask a bride to give up the experience of shopping for a dress at all. However, once you have chosen a style and have your measurements, you can save HUNDREDS by buying online. I can't think of a good argument for not doing that on a dress that gets used for a few hours. I agree that a fair return policy/agreement is essential, no matter who you are dealing with.<br />
