I can't see myself paying for a dress ill have on for one day maybe 6hours. But might have to bite the bullet 🤔 😞. Any suggestions.

    Not really. The way I viewed it was if I didn't like it once it arrived I could just return it to Amazon.

    Hi I’m actually selling a never worn wedding gown if you are still searching for one. It was too big for me and I’m willing to sell it to you for $700.

    I’m not sure why it’s not letting me message you but here are the photos. It’s a size 14. I wasn’t able to attach the video.

    My dress was only $499.99 and it was beautiful! I suggest going to wedding dress shops and checking the "final sale" section. These are dresses that are no longer being produced and have a significant discount. I got my dress at Vow'd but I'm sure many other stores have a section like this.

    Has anyone shopped JJ's House and I am looking at Azazie too. Any feedback on those two for wedding gowns?

    JJ's is a hit-or-miss, I've seen lots of fails on the internet for them. It's a big gamble. We used Azazie for my bridesmaids dresses, it was easy for them to do try-ons and then get the one they wanted. You can get custom sizing but no refunds on that. And 99% of their dresses seem to be unavailable for the try-on program because they only have a few they loan out. I'd recommend Lulu's, I just ordered a couple to try from them. When you sign up on their website you can get a one-time 20% off coupon you can use on the dresses and even on clearance items so it's extremely affordable, and they have some nice options. Their shipping and return policies are a lot clearer.
