Designs Gown Size

With the advent of the Internet, brides now have infinite choice when it comes to choosing a bridal gown.  No longer are brides restricted only to the bridal gown designers and styles offered by their local bridal boutiques.  And best of all, shopping online for a bridal gown will not only save the busy bride valuable time, but also most certainly money!

But purchasing a bridal gown online can be an overwhelming experience for any bride.  Where do you begin?  Which online stores should you trust?  How do you know what you’re getting?  Follow the simple steps below when purchasing your bridal gown online to ensure you have a positive experience.

Step 1: Take Time to Try On

If you have the time, visit a local bridal salon or two and try on a few bridal gowns.  This will give you an opportunity to see which style gowns best suit your body type.  If, during your visit, you find the gown of your dreams, take note of the designer and style number so that you can research pricing online.

Step 2: Choose an Online Bridal Store

When purchasing a bridal gown online, it is imperative that you first spend some time researching online bridal websites.  If you’re not sure where to begin, wedding websites such as Internet Bridal Guide can help you identify some of the more well-known, reputable online bridal stores.

The first step in researching any online bridal store is to check with the online store’s local Better Business Bureau (BBB) website to find out whether any complaints have been reported against them and whether they have been resolved.  Steer clear of any stores that have unresolved complaints against them to which they have not responded.

Next, on the bridal store’s website, be sure to read the store’s Return Policy, Shipping Policy, and estimated production times for bridal gowns that need to be ordered, to avoid any unexpected and unpleasant surprises.  Note, most bridal stores, whether physical or online, will not accept returns on bridal gowns.  Also be sure to look for sites like The Bridal Warehouse that have taken the time to provide detailed gown descriptions including designer name, style number, fabric and embellishment details, train lengths, and detailed size charts, so you know exactly what you’re getting when you place your order.

Step 3: Find Your Perfect Gown

Once you’ve narrowed the list of online stores you’re willing to buy from, search their bridal gown inventory to find the style you’re looking for.  Ask yourself the following questions:

• Does this bridal gown suit my body type?
• Are the color, fabric, train length, and embellishments what I’m looking for?
• Is the price of this gown within my budget?  Be sure to leave extra room in your budget for any adjustments that may be required.
• Does this gown still have to be ordered and made by the designer or is it available for immediate shipment?
• Will the bridal gown arrive in time?  Be sure to leave additional time for any unforeseen delays as well as for any last minute adjustments that may have to be made.

Step 4: Determine Your Correct Size

You will need to get measured before placing your order online.  It is recommended that you be measured by someone else (do not measure yourself) – preferably by a bridal alterations specialist or a tailor.  Otherwise have the person taking your measurements follow The Bridal Warehouse’s Measurement Guide to ensure your measurements are being taken correctly.

Bridal gown sizes typically run smaller than street clothing sizes, and unfortunately vary by bridal gown designer.  So before placing your order, make sure to view the designer’s size chart and compare to your actual measurements to determine what size you will need to order.  If the option is available and your budget allows, have your gown made to your own custom measurements to ensure a proper fit.

Step 5: Initiate Contact with the Online Bridal Store

Ask any questions you might have in advance whether by phone or email, and ensure you get a response that is to your satisfaction.  How an online bridal store responds to your inquiries is a good indicator of the level of customer service they provide.  If possible, you may also want to consider placing a small order for an accessory of some kind to test their order fulfillment process.

Step 6: Place Your Bridal Gown Order

Take the plunge and place your order!  Be sure to double and triple check your order for accuracy before completing payment.  Also ensure that you are entering your personal and payment information on a secure order page – look for “https://” in the URL of the order webpage, or for a small gold lock displayed in the bottom right corner of your web browser window.

Step 7: Follow Up

If your order has not arrived when it was supposed to, be sure to follow up immediately with the online bridal store with which you placed your order.

Following all of the simple steps above will help to ensure that your online bridal gown purchase experience is a positive one!
