buying dress online

lspirelli21

has anyone seen a dress in the store and then noticed that it is available online for much cheaper?

Its because they are made in China and shipped over. I have heard of people buying this way and it has only ever ended badly. Be careful who you buy from.

Kathy nailed it with her response. I have seen some really horrible Chinese replicas and then very few nice ones. I was considering of going this route myself but didn't want to risk having a disasterous dress in my hands and then need to invest in another dress.<div>

Don't forget there are Bridal consignment stores too. I know one is in Broward off Oakland. And the other is in Boca. I have to get home to give you those names. Also the store in Boca rents out new dresses too.
