  I've never heard of that one.  Pearl's Place, RK Bridal, Jays Bridal and Netbride all have good reputations for ordering online.  Most also have a brick and mortar store. 
  
  The best price I found for my BM dresses was at Pearl's Place.  It was under $100 for Alfred Angelo jersey knits, which are listed as less than $175 online and $130 from an Alfred Angelo store.

  I haven't heard of it either.

  
  

  Have they tried it on?  Or is this a dress that just looks great on the rack?

  Have them try it on, please please please! I was moh for my friend's wedding last year, and we ordered the dress she chose from the web. even with following the size chart on the site, the dress arrived large enough to pull on over my winter clothes without unzipping it and after alterations it looked nothing like it used to. i hated it and myself in it, but i had no choice but to wear it. if i had been able to try it on before hand, we would've known to order differently.

  [QUOTE]Definitely have them try it on.  I had my "dream" BM dress picked too then my BMs tried it on and it looked awful.

  Same happened to me. The dress we ended up with was actually found by two of my BMs when they went to try stuff on, and it looks way better on all of them than the dresses I'd liked online.

  My sister ordered her bm dresses ofline, and I had no problems fitting into mine, the only thing i had to take in was the chest area, (i have smallish boobs). But she was able to buy different sizes.
   
  I think it all depends on how the dress fits, and if you would be able to buy different sizes for your BMs.
