Delivery time of the dress
Alteration cap - very important and get this in writing
Cancellation policy - also get this in writing
When fittings are scheduled (do they do weekend fittings if you don't want to take time off from work)

Then go with whoever has the best price including alterations, and most importantly, who you feel the most comfortable buying from. Good Luck!

Also ask if they offer a discount on the veil, tiara, slip or bridesmaid dresses. My salon discounts all these items when I purchase my dress through them. You should also see if they price match if you find the dress cheaper somewhere else, including online.

Re: questions to ask before buying a dress

don't forget to ask about what is included in alterations cap. most shops don't consider things like straps, sewing cups in, etc. included in the alterations cap

also--don't forget about asking about how much extra a bustle is outside alterations. some places charge a flat fee for a bustle on your gown---while others might charge 'per point'

-how much alterations will cost
-how many fittings will they be willing to accomodate your for
-will they accept several payments or is the balance due when the dress comes in
-when will the dress arrive
-taxes etc. (i bought a dress in one state and then had it shipped elsewhere so it kinda mattered)
