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.

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!!
