What a deal!
I purchased my wedding dress from Anne Bridal on Tradesy.com, where they have lots of brand name dresses, unworn, for several hundred dollars less than you would pay at a boutique or chain bridal store. The item arrived quickly, very well packaged and in the same condition as described, although the brightness of the dress was not the same as the picture, perhaps because of lighting. Still, I am very pleased with the quality of this dress for the price. I purchased an off the shoulder, pleated satin bodice with a large, long tulle skirt by Spanish brand Pronovias for only $299.00, including shipping. The item arrived very well packaged, sealed in two plastic bags and packed snugly in a medium size box. The wait was not too long, except we had a snow storm and ice on the drive way that prevented the postman from delivering - our fault. The dress was a great quality purchase for the price. I wish I could attach a picture, but I would say the dress has overall simple, classic elegance. Because of family traditions, I wanted to avoid lace and chiffon, and I thought I wouldn't find anything that fits my tastes, but Anne Bridal had it! I know I will look solidly tasteful at my wedding, which will take place when the travel restrictions are lifted (my fiance is from the UK), and when our venue will return to full functioning. This dress looks formal and expensive (just by the taste of the design alone), but I only paid $300! Thank you for a great deal during these trying times. I might shorten it to make it more suitable for a small, low key garden wedding, but that's one of the reasons I chose this dress was because I could do that to the skirt without altering the overall integrity and look of the dress. This is a good, classic dress. Thank you again for providing a deal with good service to match!
