Has anyone....

ordered a wedding dress without actually seeing it in person/trying it on? I found one online that I love, but none of the authorized dealers have it in stock. It seems like a pretty big risk to just order it!

No and the thought didn't even cross my mind. I had a picture of a dress that I LOVED and when I finally tried it on, it did nothing for me. Seventy dresses later, I found what I eventually bought.

I think it's a huge risk.

See if they can have it shipped from another store -one store offered to have it shipped from another store -all i had to was pay shipping and if i bought it they would subtracct that from the dress price - but that was a store in Boston

Also there is a dress that i could not find for a while because it was a fall 2004 dress called everywhere, then called one place pack a few weeks later and they had it in - ask to see if they are going to get the dress in if it is a new design

i found my dream dress two years before i got engaged....i carried it around with me and when i finally got engaged, i found a bridal shop that carried it.....went and tried it on...and looked like a huge marshmallow....of all of the dresses I tried on, it was easily the worst one for me....

i wouldn't do it

Thanks for the suggestions, snowprincess!
I hadn't thought about that-- now I'll have to try to find a store somewhere that actually has it!! LOL The dress is from St. Patrick's latest collection, but one of these stores told me that apparently the next collection is due to arrive in Oct., so after that it may be even harder to find.....
