I am on a major wedding dress budget and while I would still like something nice, I'd like to spend less than $400 for a dress. I have found a few websites that look to offer wedding dresses online for under $250. Has anyone ever used these sites? I would love some recommendations so I don't get scammed. I am unsure about buying a dress online as my body measurements definitely don't conform to those charts! I have even been looking at some bridesmaid dresses in white, and they are much cheaper.
I'm looking A-line semi casual beach type dress, or a little step up from that. I would like something comfortable (as much as a dress could be) that I do not need too much help getting into, and that doesn't drag around on the floor. I have a plan in a few months to visit some bridal consignment shops, but just wanted to get input about buying online and possibly wearing something not "traditionally bridal."
What are others doing who are on a serious dress budget?
