How many have bought their wedding dresses online?

Hi everyone....I hate trying on clothes and shopping for clothes. Yes, I know I may be a bit odd, but what can I say. Anywho, I found a website called Light In the Box. The prices are incredible and they will even do a custom measurement. I can't go for a custom because I am afraid I won't like the dress, and then it wouldn't be returnable. How many have ordered their dress online, and have been happy or unhappy with what you received? Has anyone used Light In The Box? Thanks in advance!

    My sister ordered her matron of honors dress from Light in the Box and she didnt have a good experience. It was even the same style as pictured and they never responded to her request for a return/refund.

    With that said there are plenty of good online vendors, I ordered my wedding dress online and I LOVE IT!!!

    Thanks ladies. So, one person had an issue, and one did not?

    Danya....Wow...the dress is gorgeous! I def want to know about your experience with them. Will you be custom ordering, or ordering by size?

    I am looking at this dress, as this is not my first wedding, and I am an older bride. I am thinking I want it in ivory or champagne. If I get champagne, I can wear it to my daughter's 2012 fall wedding. Thoughts?

    Ladies....Thank you so much for your feedback. It is reassuring to know there is positive.

    Sydney and Sean....LMAO...Thanks, trust me, no white at my daugher's wedding for me. She has been dreaming and practicing to be a princess bride for 23 years. : )

    Shela H.....I can't wait to read about it and see pics. I hope everything works out okay.

    Danya....Love the dress, and love the detail!! I avoided detail, since this is a biker themed wedding. lolol Champagne is the best option for me, just because I can take off the train, and wear it with a satin shrug for my daughter's wedding. I will order the shrug now. Besides, a shrug hides old lady arm fat.

    Lauren....What a beautiful dress that is! You look awesome in it too. You sure can't beat $100.

    Thanks again for your thoughts and feed back!

    What sites are ya'll ordering these dresses on? Did you order by size or have a seamstress measure you? I have looked at online sites and most are in China. But the prices are amazing! Carole, I'm an older bride as well but I've never had the wedding or the dress. I'm supposed to start dress shopping next week while I'm on vacation. I just can't afford a really expensive dress.
