Online Wedding Gown Shopping

Denise, on October 23, 2019 at 2:49 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

I've decided to buy online from an independent designer! I've been doing my research on a few. What was your experience while shopping online for a wedding gown? Did you order fabric samples of the dress prior to buying? Did you go to a local boutique and try on different silhouettes? Did you buy a standard wedding dress size from a size chart or opted for custom sizing? Did your dress need additional alterations? How long was the turnaround time? Thank you so much Smiley smile

    I winged it AHAH I just saw one and it was cheap and bought it. However my advice now to brides wanting to buy online is definitely go to a store first to try it on and touch different fabrics and see what silhouette even works on you and what you like.

    I checked and rechecked my measurements but still added a half inch here and there because I was terrified my dress would be too small. I figured I'd be safe since I ordered a corset back. The only thing that had to be taken in was the straps by about an inch. I was really happy with the soft feel of the tulle which was one of the things I really picked up when reading the reviews. I also appreciated that the seller worked with me to alter the design to fit my tall body. I don't think I would have moved forward if the seller was unresponsive to my questions before I placed my order. I have no complaints.

    I used custom sizing because my measurements didn't fall on the standard sizing chart.

    I went through Amazon and other than the straps it fit perfectly. I used sticky bras, a waist cincher to smooth my rolls, and a petticoat to fill out the skirt and make it easier to not trip over the added length I asked for underneath the dress. I honestly have no complaints about the dress at all.
