Vendor Rave: Aria Dresses
My BM dresses just arrived from Aria Dresses (Aria ships from LA -- so all the dresses arrived at my mom's) and I couldn't be happier!
Can't post pics yet, but just wanted to give a rave review for those of you who might still be searching.
You can see them on the Aria Dress website or on my photo album: http://www.liweddings.com/community/album/?ID=963
My BMs are very different in size (4-20) and personality and I never was into having them all match, but very much wanted them to have the same color/fabric. I also wanted to make sure that they had enough choices in style so that they each could find a dress they loved.
The dresses came in exactly when Aria said they would (it took about 2 and 1/2 months). The fabric is gorgeous (a deep read silk shantung) and so far everyone has been really happy with the fit (they run pretty true to size).
The customer service at Aria is wonderful -- which is important b/c I ordered the dresses from LA and was pretty nervous about it. Every time I called someone pleasant answered the phone and they were able to answer all my questions immediately.
For those of you who don't know Aria they have a 'Try-On' program so you can try the dresses. You basically pay $15 bucks a dress to try on, but since their styles are so simple and their size chart is so helpful none of my girls had to work very hard to find their perfect dress. Imagine having sample dresses delivered to your house -- not having to try dresses on in the store was fabulous (especially since so many shops only stock size 10!!!)
