Gownfind.com/Bridal Elegance

I checked on gownfind.com for a gown that my daughters moh's chose. They emailed me back and quoted me $145. I know gownfind.com is affiliated with Bridal Elegance so I then called Bridal Elegance and got a quote of $165 if ordered at the shop. She said gownfind.com is for out of towners who don't have a bridal shop near them. Has anyone ever gone to Phyllis at Bridal Elegance to get measured, then ordered the gown thru gownfind? Also, I checked netbride.com and the gown is $128. Where do you go to get your measurements if you order online to be certain of ordering the correct size? One of her girls has a seamstress. We thought of asking her to measure them, then ordering online. Also we suggested going to a local tailor and ask to be measured, just to get a 'second opinion' that the measurements are correct before ordering. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

I used netbride.com- i just measured all of my bridesmaids myself, using a tape measure, and figured out their sizes according to the size chart of my dress maker (also available on netbride)- I just got the dresses in (1 month earlier than I expected to) and they are perfect!
