Anybody tried ordering your wedding gown online? My bridesmaids would be fine doing this because of the pricing as long as we get their sizing done correctly and then just alter it when it comes in, but dare I look online for thee dress; the #1 outfit that every guest and service person will be dying to see at the wedding??
Don't get me wrong, I want the WHOLE experience of dress shopping. I already have 6+ appointments made at bridal salons for trying on all day long but I won't lie, the dresses that I'm interested in are definitely gonna be way outta my budget, so these online prices are lookin like rose-colored miracles lol.
I'm focusing on getting some of this weight off my stomach in the next 10 months (I'm 5'4" fluctuating between 150-160lbs) because my dress choices are all fitted mermaids with LOTS of lace and details, and of course a small train. So needless to say the ones I like topically run at about $2k or so, but are somehow obtainable online for $400 or less including customizations, add-ons and takeaways, etc. This is why I feel like I'm seeing them through rose-colored glasses. It's totally sketch, but my curiosity kills me. I know a lot of scam sites post THEIR OWN 5 star reviews, which is 100% messed up for such an important purchase, and a lot of them have and utilize the ability to delete the reviews they don't like (including the truthful bad reviews).
I don't think I'll end up doing it, but on the off chance that I don't find "the one" at 6+ different salons for less than my budget, I'd still like to know if anyone else has had any luck?
