buying a dress online

winter_dreams

Hi everyone,

I've been debating whether or not to purchase my dress online.  I've fallen head over heals for a very specific dress, but every store I've called (even out of state) don't have the dress!

I've found it however on benefitbridal.com and bestpromdressuk.co.uk, but I'm very reluctant to place an order with either of them.

Has anyone dealt with these sites?  Are they reliable? 

Thanks for your time!

What dress is it? Have you tried on other dresses from that designer?

Those are knock off sites, so do NOT order from them.

Thanks msuprincess04.  The dress is from Luna Novias (Isadora).  The collection itself is hard to track.  I've considered having a similar dress made by my mother and grandmother, both professional seamstresses, but the cost of the materials alone (fabric) would exceed the cost of that dress sold new (approx $1500).  I'm a little torn about what to do...

Do you have a picture?

Unless it's a website for a store like David's Bridal, JCrew, or Ann Taylor...I probably wouldn't buy online.

Definitely not the websites you've posted!

itzMS, I have two links for the pics.  the first is the front, the second is the back of the dress.  Hope this helps.

PS: I apologize for the lengthy urls

I've looked for the dress by name (Luna Novias-Isadora) and through reverse image searches, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.  If I'm not mistaken it's a 2011-2012 model.  I'd buy it used if I could...
