Who ordered their gown on-line??
I'll be ordering my dress on-line today. I'm really nervous about it not coming in on time. I'm looking at a couple different websites that all have about the same delivery time and price.
I need advice!!! What site did you order through? Were you satisfied???
THANKS!!!

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
What site are you ordering through? I fully plan on ordering online, I just haven't gone dress shopping yet. I'm in a BP in October and we ordered our BM dresses through netbride.
ETS: Just read that you found the dress at a number of sites. I've heard no bad things about netbride but I also haven't really heard bad things about any of them. Which are the sites that you're looking at?

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I've looked at gownsales and netbride. RKBridal doesn't carry my dress.
They both estimate 12 weeks but I always hear people say their dress came in early. I don't want to shell out another $50 for rush delivery if it'll be here in time anyway. (BTW my dress is a BM dress I'm getting in ivory....I know BM dresses are usually quicker.)

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
Only because I've heard more things about it, I'd go netbride. I've heard they're always early, the service is excellent, etc. Good idea about the bridesmaid dress!

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I bought my Maggie gown from Netbride..it should be here any day now! I am fully confident in their service, I've heard very good things about them.
Only reason my gown isn't here already is that I ordered it on the late side for a Maggie dress (i ordered late February for my July wedding) Bu Netbride was great and honest with me.. they assured me I still would get it in plenty of time without having to pay extra fee to "rush" it .
I've also heard raves about PearlsPlace , in case you haven't looked into them already
good luck

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I ordered my Maggie from Bridesave at the end of January and it came in 3 weeks ago (1 month earlier than promised). I found the whole process to be easy and customer service was helpful and friendly. I just ordered my slip from them too this week.

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
Thanks ladies!
I'll check out Pearlsplace too! I actually have never seen the dress in person so I'm going to a bridal shop today to try it on. I KNOW I'll love it...but this way I'll know what size to order. I'll just have to fib to the shop so they don't know what I'm really up to.

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
Oooh ..your dress is just lovely!! good choice!!
And don't worry, I also went to the bridal shop to try my dress on , and had to stand there and lie and say I hated it (LOL) Meanwhile I was planning on ordering in online the entire time (its was just too big of a savings!)

You're not kidding about the savings! I feel bad lying...I'm so bad at it. But my dress is almost 1/2 the price online. Wish me luck!!

Same here! My dress was early and $300 less than at Bridal Reflections. The customer service was also excellent.

I like bridesave but they're charging $40 more than the other places. Do you know if they do price-match?

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I ordered my dress from Pearl's Place last year. I am not lying when I tell you this....
they said 4 months...I received it in 12 DAYS!!! Yes, that's right, 12 days! I couldn't believe it.
Anyway, my experience was fantastic. The dress is gorgeous and came to me in a large box - no wrinkles either!! Good luck!!!
Here's a picture of it:

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
Yes, 12 DAYS!! But they did originally tell me up to 4 months...I guess the manufacturer had it in stock because they got it in 7 and then shipped it to me UPS. I'm not sure if all the dresses would be that quick, I'm sure I got lucky.
Pearl's Place did give me the cheapest price. It was $400 off the store's price!!

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
Wow! That's wonderful! I just called and they quoted me $10 less than netbride. I know it's not that much but every penny counts these days! I'll let you know how I make out!

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I ordered two dresses from vendors on ebay and they both worked out great. One was a casablanca dress and it took 3 months. the other one was from a factory in China...can't remeber the name offhand but that one came ina month ans was super cheap. here's a pic. I liked ordering from ebay because I could read actual reviews from previous customers.

I ordered my gown from bridesave; it is expected to arrive in July, but so far I can say that their customer service has been great.

Re: Who ordered their gown on-line??
I got my dress from Netbride and it was a fantastic experience. I was a little unsure if it was the "same" dress as on the designer's site because the picture was unclear. They went out of their way to verify the style # (after I managed to get the saleslady to divulge that information!) and make sure it was the right dress.
They promised 12-16 weeks. I got it in like 8. It came in a big old box and was not too badly wrinkled. I saved about 400.00 bucks from the salon.
I know what you mean about trying on at the store. I actually went twice to try on my dress. I felt really awkward about it.. but for 400.00 I managed a poker face.
Hope it all works out for you!
