Buying a dress online? (Best Bridal Prices website)

Sing2phins

I posted this on Attire as well, but this board is busier, so I thought I'd check here, too.

Has anyone purchased from bestbridalprices.com?  Most of the reviews are pretty good, and I can't find any local store that carries this Allure dress that I am in love with.  House of Brides has it available online, but I hear universally bad things about them.  I am wary of buying a dress online, but this dress is truly the most beautiful one I've seen that suits me and I'd be willing to risk it if people have had good experiences.

Did you end up buying your dress from BBP? I am considering this site for the Alfred Angelo dress I found and I am getting mixed reviews!

I did not.  I ended up getting a different dressaltogether because I just couldn't justify buying a dress I couldn't try on first and wouldn't be able to return.  (My mom and I called every Allure-authorized retailer within 250 miles and no one had the dress I was looking for.) 

Are there no Alfred Angelo stores near you?  I would prefer to buy direct from them, if it were me.

There is an Alfred Angelo store, I believe, near the Irving area.

I did find the Alfred Angelo store near me and am going to buy it from there today!! The price is just as reasonable as BBP. SO relieved to have found the dress!!
