Dress shopping online?

I did a lot of research, and sent in my measurements. Dress came out perfect. I just wonder if I should have gave myself that trying on wedding dress experience. That's my only regret.

View Quoted Comment My fiancé and I are paying for everything ourselves and dress shopping online seems to be a much cheaper alternative. I’m a pretty simple person so I don’t want anything fancy. I’m thinking about going into a store and trying on some dresses and getting the style that I like down and then ordering something online that similar and a lot cheaper

FMIL bought her dress off amazon for $100 and looked STUNNING in it 😍 her big thing is that it was one day and she was tight on a budget. Just check reviews.

I ordered mine online as a sample sell and I'm just getting it altered. Very happy

I went and tried on dresses to confirm what I wanted. I ordered my first dress on aliexpress and unfortunately it didn’t work out.
I came across the Cocomelody ads on Facebook and they had gorgeous gowns. I obsessively researched and ended up ordering my amazing custom black gown with beading.
i didn’t get to try it on and just researched a ton and on their Facebook page. I have zero regrets ordering from them and highly recommend it! I had a coupon code so my dress with shipping was less than $400.
The hard part is the anxiety until you get your dress in your hands lol. I was so relieved and excited to get it and finally had my bridal moment once I got it on.

I had a custom skirt made online and although it was well-made, it did not look designer at all. Waste of money. ☹️ I finally found a skirt at a bridal shop. I also found my reception dress there... discontinued for less than $200! Can you call local shops and ask about their discounted dresses/costs or sample sale dates? I learned shops often have discontinued dresses in the back so it doesn’t hurt to ask!

View Quoted Comment I will do that! Thank you!

I ordered my dress online off BHLDN. They allow free return postage and it was super nice to order worry free that I could ship it back
Have no dress regrets either. Happy searching!

I went into 2 stores to try on styles & and see what size I was. After I knew what style I wanted, I searched online and found a very similar dress to my favorite one and bought it. I love my dress, and it’s a corset so I don’t have too many alterations to do!

You guys are awesome!

I bought my dress from Azazie and love it! I took advantage of their “try on” option before deciding to purchase it. But I HIGHLY recommend it! My dress is beautiful, high quality, fits well and was CHEAP! I bought it during their cyber Monday sale for under $300, but even full price their dresses are affordable, and they run sales all the time! I highly recommend it!

I've heard horror stories so I didn't chane it myself.

Hey Chelsae! Have you decided to buy your dress online?
