Online Wedding Dress Shopping Experiences?

I am really trying to watch the budget close, and although I plan to try on dresses I am considering an online purchase.  I have read many responses over the past few months but would really be interested if you ladies would mind posting which online shop you used and the type of deal you received. 

I am looking at Alfred Angelo Stlye # 1797 with a lace bolero jacket.  Boutique price range from 550 to 700 and online I have seen it for $355

Dont buy it from website that you havenet heard other brides on here buy from. I bought mine ebay and it came out really bad. Many girls on here have shoped netbridal or pearlsplace- you could also buy it used or in a sample at the store

here is some used one

I'm thinking about Pearls Place, unfortunately they won't email respond a price quote. Net bride doesn't carry Alfred Angelo.  I am doing my research and making sure I won't get burned.  Just wondering, I know I saw some posts in the past, but I cn't find them with reviews from other brides.

Thanks!

I recently discovered a couple of wedding dress websites that sell dresses for SUPER CHEAP... I'm trying to figure out if it's just too good to be true.  One --- www.lightinthebox.com --- has some reviews and testimonials that make it seem pretty good.  The other --- www.bridalblvd.com --- I haven't been able to find any reviews or comments about them at all.  

I loooove a dress on bridal blvd and it's only $129.99 which is cheaper than alterations!  But I don't know what to do ... what if I get it and it LOOKS like it costs $129.99???  I mean, I totally have no shame in buying a cheap knock-off for a dress that I will wear once.  It's kinda like buying an outfit at Forever21, right? 

Has anyone out there heard of these websites or had experiences with them?
