The Big Day > Wedding Dress: Is it worth buying a dress online to save money or too much of a risk??

1 to 11 of 11

I'm trying to stick to a tight budget and have found this stunning dress online, there is not a single bad review (over 60 reviews all 5*) however I'm wondering is that too good to be true. Has any one bought their dress online and had bad experiences or has it been worth the risk??

I got my BM's dresses online and they are gorgeous, really well made and great quality. x

I bought three BM dresses (just one style of dress... 3 attempts) and they where all horrible. I purchased from the bay off sellers with apparently good reviews.
I bought my final dress off the bay but a seller with legit reviews and sales etc. No stolen photos or stock photos.
Id say if you where buying online then make sure you do your research. Not just reviews because you cant guarantee they're not fake.

If it's not a huge Amount of money it may be worth the chance. Then if it's no good it won't be a huge loss

If it is an amount you are happy to spend and risk then go for it. The reviews may be that they only show the good ones, you don't know how many, if any bad ones they have had. Where is it from?? I got my bridesmaid dresses online from China at L!ght 1n th3 80x. They were amazing and fantastic value, a place I would highly recommend.

I purchased my bms dresses from eb@y from a seller called sw€€Th€@rt2115 they are stunning. The dresses i purchased i had seen at a bridal shop and they was selling them for £110! (exactly the same design) Cost me £23.90!
If its not a huge amount of money then id take the risk but do read reviews and research. Xx
- CommentAuthorKirstyR386
I found a lot of reviews for wedding dresses tended to be exactly the same which made me suspicious. But if you can find a genuine seller with good reviews and its not too much money to lose then it could be worth the risk. My bm dresses were from @mazon and were perfect. X

I'm thinking about getting my wedding dress from 3tsy. The shop reviews are amazing, and the shop is from US. The dress, with taxes and everything, will cost about £380, and it looks really cute. So, thinking about how much the designers dresses cost, I think it's worth the saving.
- CommentAuthorSainuk
Glitter fairy it's the same place as you got your bridesmaids dresses from. The one online will be 1/3 of the price compared to a dress I really like that I've tried on. I really like the online one but not sure if it's worth risking a 3rd of my dress budget as we are on a tight budget.

Thank you to every one replying I really appreciate it because I'm really confused about what's the right thing to do.

My best friend brought her wedding dress from L1ght 1n th € B0x and it was gorgeous. When it arrived it was a lot fuller in the skirt than it had looked in the photos so she emailed the seller to complain and they refunded her some of her money to cover the cost of alteration no problem. The size was fit perfectly to her measurents. When she took it to the seamstress to have some of the under skirts removed and straps added (she's very busty) the lady said she was very impressed with the quality. Said the seams and finishing were better than some of the designer dresses she has worked on. My friend said she was nervous about ordering from abroad but as it only cost her £250 it was worth the risk and for her it paid off.
