  1. The Knot can be a bit slow sometimes. If you hit the add post button once, it will post- just be patient.
  2. David's is a well known bridal chain, with stores nationwide. I have never heard of Amber's but it may be decent as well.
  3. In order to get the dress you are going to have to pay for it first. If you notice on the Amber's fine print- there is a 30% restocking fee if you return it. So- you will have to pay 30% of the dress cost back to them if you decide you don't like it.
  4. You can go into any David's Bridal in your area and try on the dress (or others that you may like). I would heavily reccomend this as wedding dresses typically run in different sizes that your normal street clothes. Personally- I would not have bought my dress online, but I know for some that isnt an option.
  
  Hope that helps.

  I would definitely use David's Bridal over Ambers.  David's is having a $99 gown sale right now also!

  If you visit the attire + accessories board, you can educate yourself about buying dresses online.  I would be very careful in doing so, because lots of gals get burned.  Cheap can equal shoddy materials and dresses that come not quite as they are advertised  At least Amber's has a return policy, which is good.  PP are right about the sizing being different, my wedding dress is 2 sizes bigger than what I wear in street clothes.  I would strongly suggest you go to David's and at least try on the dress before you buy online.
  
  ETA:  on the A&A board, there is a sticky at the top where you can learn about online bridal gown retailers.

  Ambers appears to be a Chinese knock-off site.  Avoid, avoid, avoid!

  I got my dress from DB, but between the two I like the cheaper one better.

  I would HIGHLY recommend Davids Bridal. I bought my wedding dress there and I'm getting discounts on everything from BM dresses to our shoes, bra's, slips and even my FH tux!! I would be very careful buying a wedding dress online.
  Good luck!!

  One big difference between those two dresses, the first one is a Vera Wang, the other a cheap knock off.
