Tips For Buying Your Dress Online

  • Only buy from established websites. Don't take a risk by trying to save a few bucks.

  • Search online for reviews and complaints about the website. Simply type in the website name with Review or Scam after it.

  • Check the return policy of the website. Make sure you are able to return the dress and understand any rules or time frames for returns.

  • Look for free shipping or reduced shipping costs.

  • Some sites will offer incentives, like a free pair of shoes with the purchase of a dress or special discounts at certain times of the year.

  • Read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) or Help section and understand how the website handles measurements and what the process is for ordering a gown.

  • Shop in a store before buying online. Try on the dress if possible, and see how it looks on you. That is really the only way to know when you have found "the one".

  • If possible, get your measurements done at a bridal shop or with a seamstress before buying online.
