Etsy Wedding Dresses?

I don't have experience with wedding dresses on etsy, but all of my bridesmaid dresses have came in and look amazing! They came from China or somewhere overseas.

I recommend Amazon to buy a dress if you're set on buying online. I bought a dress in store and it's actually going to cost more to alter it than ordering one I love on amazon! & it's made custom sized for ME with my measurements. Less than $180..

The place I'm looking at a dress from on amazon is Ubridal. I like amazon because you have REAL reviews and you have pictures of people in the dresses they received. Theres actually some really pretty dresses on there I seriously regret buying the one I did in store & not knowing how much alterations would be

Ubridal can have a dress made in time too My day is 1 day after yours and they said it will be in in about 11-15 days

Look at the seller's reviews. Send the seller a message. Ask to see photos of their materials up close. Ask them to take a picture of the materials next to a paper with your name and date on it, or ask them to show you something similar they're making right now with a paper with your name and date on it. I say this to make sure they're not stealing photos from somewhere else and then sending you an inferior product. Anyone can grab photos off the web and say "oh yeah, I made that dress!"

ETA: OUCH you are dangerously close to your wedding date. Can an etsy seller even make a dress on this short of a notice? I would go to David's Bridal or BHLDN and get a dress in hand right away.

Yeah, I know, my fiance is military and that month is about the only chance we will have for the next year or so, and it's financially easier for us to do it now. Apparently, this site's turn around is about two months or so, and we can push the date back a few weeks if necessary.

Anyways, I've been trying to do reverse image searches on their photos and they all seem to originate from their page, which is a good sign, but I have seen a handful of disheartening reviews. One lady even said hers smelled like cat pee?

Overall, the shop seems to have good reviews, it's just on weddingwire and facebook that I've seen issues, so I wanted to get some advice from people who have actually interacted with the shop.

And you're 100% right, I'll try and stop by David's some time next week!

I can't stop talking about my experience with LaceBridal on Etsy. I was suppper hesitant to shop there especially since it is from China. The reviews are amazing but you never really know, so I message several girls on there and asked for pictures. So I went for and my dress came in a month and fits PERFECT except for the length. I hope you find the perfect dress!

Thanks for posting, @OP!

@MexicoinMarch, I have been looking at LaceBridal dresses for a while. I'm SO glad to hear that you had a positive experience. Did you get your dress custom made or did you order one of the preset styles?
