Hi, and thanks in advance for the input!

The next "big" step in wedding planning is looking into bridesmaid dresses. I had originally been set on Birdy Grey due to the price, bought a few swatches, but I noticed that recently there aren't many options in the shade that we're interested in (blush pink). I also saw a few varying reviews on their dresses. I recently saw people commenting about Azazie as a good site as well, and will be buying a few swatches from their site as well.

Does anybody have real life experience ordering from either of these sites? Thinking logistically about returns, exchanges, fit, customer service, quality, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

XX, Corinne

Perfect, thank you so much! I'll encourage them to try the $10 try ons and then the custom sizing if needed.

Yeah definitely - I mean the dress wasn’t top of the line by any means but it worked well and fit well and the price is hard to beat. I did also have to work with their customer service and I was super impressed. Good luck!

My only concern is that with my shade, they seem hit or miss with if they're see through or not! If their customer service is good I might have to check in with them about that. Thanks so much!

Ah - my dress was a taupe color but hopefully ordering swatches will help you see in person!

Not to add in another option but my girls ordered from Revelry and I LOVED them. The dresses are a touch more expensive (like $185) and we actually ordered separates so they just had the skirt but they color was beautiful and vibrant and the fabric was nice and thick. Depending on your pricing, I would highly recommend!

Hello!

I am having the same concern (i really wanted blush pink before I realized BG discontinued it, sigh). What did you decide to do? Also, for those who have ordered through Azazie, how long did it take?

Hi Jy!
I ended up ordering swatches from Azazie and I really like their Blushing Pink shade! So I told my bridesmaids to check it out, especially since they have the $10 try-ons. I'm having them order them mid-February for my October wedding, just in case they need alterations. The website says they should process after 1-3 days of ordering and take 6-7 weeks to make, with 1-10 delivery days to send after completion (https://www.azazie.com/shipping).

I have to order Birdy Grey for a wedding I am in and it is super annoying that you can try on the dresses.

I have been in weddings and had a great time with Azazie! We also are using it for my wedding and no issues!

The lack of trying on dresses is what made me so hesitant about Birdy Grey! I personally hate ordering things online and then having a weird fit, and I don't think that would be fair for my bridesmaids to have to pay for that. And I'm glad you had good experiences with Azazie - I'm excited to see what my girls end up choosing.
