loorey and PreppySailor, How did you know what size to order for yourself and what are you doing to take of your alterations and a bustle?

I used both Netbride and Pearl's Place and had a great experience with both.  Would highly recommend . For alterations, you can just go to an independent seamstress.  Ask the girls on your local board for recs.  As for what size to order, you can find most designers' size charts online.  Take your measurements yourself (or have a seamstress do it for you) and match them up to the size chart.  As a general rule, you should order according to your largest measurement because it's easier to take a dress in than to let it out (but there are exceptions).

Thanks for the information Kappa.  Beautiful picture!!

I measured my bust, waist, and chest... luckily they were exactly what the size chart recommended for a size 4, if I had been between 2 sizes I would have ordered the larger of the two.

I found a beautiful dress at florasbridal, but I am still a bit skeptical about purchasing a dress from them. Has anyone actually ordered a dress from there, and were satisfied?

I feel nervous too.  I've never made such an important purchase like this online.  I'm also worried about the shipping and the condition of the dress while it travels.

hey my name is Katie and I m selling a brand new, Never worn Maggie Sottero Gown. It came in to late for my wedding (06/13/09) so I was unable to wear it. I also have a matching two tierd veil that has beading on the edges that matches the beading on the dress . The Style is Shalise you can look at it on the Maggie Website, I believe it is on page 13... or around there. Just thought I would let you know... this way you can look at it and see it in person before purchasing. Take a look at the website and if your interested let me know.
