Wedding Dress Dilemma (long)

mb2712 · February 2010

Hey everyone....

I have been slowly checking out wedding dresses, my wedding is 6/25/11, and every place I go, I usually like one or two. When my sister was looking for prom dresses at a local shop, a girl was trying on wedding dresses. She said she wishes she could see two dresses side by side, and I told her I'd try the other one on and stand beside her. Turns out, I LOVED the dress tha tI tried on for her. She ended up buying the sample, and the store is not ordering another one for their stock. They said I could order it in, but since I have not tried on a ton of dresses, I was hesitant to do that. Anyway, I have an appointment at a sho[ to try on dresses next Friday, and they have the exact dress I tried on before. My question is.... if I end up liking this dress, what do you think about ordering it from this website:

http://www.bestdressprice.com/index.php?main_page=product_free_shipping_info&products_id=2938

It's literally 600 dollars less on this website than it was at the one shop that I tried it on at, so what do you think about it? Have you ever seen anyone get anything from this website? Or do you think it looks really shady? I just can't decide, and could use some other opinions. TIA :-)

I don't know of anyone who has shared an experience with that site, however I do know that RK Bridal and Pear's Place are very reputable and known for excellent prices. I would look into pricing the dress through them for comparison.

RK Bridal

Pearl's Place

You should also start seeking out independent seamstresses for your alterations.

HTH & Best of Luck!

You could also contact the designer and see where they sold samples to in your area and price the different places. I did this for a dress I'm ending up not choosing but just took and email and some phone calls. in my opinion i would be a little hesitant about ordering my dress from a website. hope this helps!!
