Buy a wedding dress online? Yes, of course!
Buying a wedding dress online is no longer a rarity, and brides are increasingly choosing to buy the most important dress in their lives online. And this is not surprising – the benefits of such a purchase are so tangible that they outweigh fears and doubts.
Pros and cons of buying a wedding dress online
First about the pros
The undoubted, undeniable advantage of buying a wedding dress online is the fantastic infinity of choice. At the moment, we have more than 150 collections, which is approximately more than 8 thousand wedding evening and girl’s dresses. After all, when buying a dress through a wedding salon, even if it is a large salon and has a very wide range, the choice will still be quite limited.
Salon owners select dresses based on
Return on investment – after all, for them, this is, first of all, a business!
The degree of brand promotion – it is known that branded dresses sell better.
The most popular sizes (standard range US2/UK6/EU34 – US10/UK14/EU42 and height about 170 cm). If you do not fit into these parameters, then a custom order can be made for you. But it is not only about additional costs! The production time for such orders from large wedding brands can be from 6 to 8 months.
Current fashion trends. Wherever you turn, you will see fashionable trends of this season. But if you do not like, for example, shiny, sequined fabrics, then your choice will narrow sharply. After all, this is fashionable now, and a significant part of the dresses will shine. And if you want a dress made of the most beautiful cord lace, which was so fashionable a couple of seasons ago, then your search may end in nothing.
You should also keep in mind – the closer to the end of the wedding season, the smaller the selection in the wedding salon. No one will order new models in anticipation of a decline in sales. When it comes to buying a wedding dress online, there are no restrictions! You can buy a ready-made dress in an online store or find a designer who will sew you a divine dress according to your personal measurements, taking into account all your wishes.
The second most important advantage of such a purchase is that, as a rule, you can buy a dress online much cheaper than in a salon, sometimes the price can be 10-15 times cheaper.
Now about the cons of online shopping
Undoubtedly, the main and indisputable advantage of buying a wedding dress in the salon is the opportunity to see and try the dress with your own eyes. After all, how often the bride comes to the salon with one idea of the very one – the one and only dress, and leaves – absolutely happy – with a completely different one, which she didn’t even think about at first.
On the Internet, you are undoubtedly deprived of such an opportunity. And of course, it’s impossible to touch the fabric here, to feel how it fits to the body, whether these sensations are pleasant to you.
In the salon, experienced consultants are at your service, ready to offer a dozen options, suggest subtleties and nuances. On the Internet, of course, there are also online consultants, but live communication is difficult to replace.
Also, an online buy will not give you the opportunity to arrange for yourself and your loved ones a holiday of choice, a small personal show under the famous slogan “Say “YES” to the dress“!
And the last significant minus is still the risk of running into an unscrupulous supplier. Everyone has probably seen videos like “Expectation-Reality” on the Internet. One can only sympathize with the bride, who is actually left without a wedding dress on the eve of the wedding.

FAQ about ordering a wedding dress online
I want to make sure first that the dress I ordered online will suit me/please. Can I return the dress if I don’t like how I look in it?
We understand your concerns. Ordering a dress online has both advantages and disadvantages. The impossibility of being 100% sure in advance that the ordered dress is exactly the one is one of such disadvantages.
Sometimes a bride sees herself, for example, only in a fluffy dress. In fact, when trying on, it may turn out that such a dress does not suit her very well, but in a silhouette dress she looks much better. But when ordering online, you do not have the opportunity to try on a sample dress. In order not to be disappointed, but to be completely sure of your choice, we recommend that you first visit the salons and decide on the silhouette and, at least approximately, on the fabrics and trim. This will allow you to not make a mistake when ordering a wedding dress online.
We provide customers with complete preliminary information about the product – its appearance, fabrics, trim and other essential characteristics. We approach the discussion of the selected model meticulously and responsibly, discussing all the smallest details until full agreement with the customer. We do not start making an order until all the details are agreed upon.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to return or exchange a wedding dress for another one, since each order is made to measure.
My wedding has been cancelled. I want to return the money for the wedding dress – after all, it will not be needed now!
We are very, very sorry for you. However, our company is not responsible for any changes to your plans, even if the event is canceled for any reason. All of our dresses are made to order. No returns or exchanges, no exceptions. This policy also applies to all online orders.
I want to pay for the order by cash on delivery upon receipt by mail. It can be done?
Unfortunately no. We ship ready-made dresses only after receiving 100% payment.
I really liked the dress on your site, but I want it to be with sleeves. Is it possible to make changes to the style?
Since we are manufacturers, we can make any changes at your request. You can change not only the length of the skirt, sleeve or train, or the color of the lining, but also make more dramatic changes. The price may change.
Please note: all changes are made at the discussion stage, before making an advance payment and until the dress has gone into production. If you change your mind and want to make changes after that, it may not be possible or may incur additional charges.
I like the skirt from one model, the top from another, and the sleeves like on that site. You can help?
Of course, do not even doubt! You can be the designer of your own unique wedding dress and design it from a photo or your own sketches. And we will help you. We will show you what design techniques to use so that the dress looks good on your figure, we will select the appropriate fabrics, and, in the end, we will sew it with our own hands!
If I order a dress today, how soon will it be ready?
Production times depend on the season, and therefore on our workload. During the high season (spring-summer), these are standard 7-12 weeks. In the winter months, the terms may be shorter. Add to this the delivery time. Carriers have different terms and now regular delivery can take up to 35 days.
If you need a dress urgently, we offer express tailoring in 30 days. The cost of the express tailoring option will cost from 250 to 450 euros to the cost of the dress, depending on the model you choose. Such orders are usually sent by express delivery. It takes from 7 to 15 days and, of course, also depends on the delivery region. We also recommend ordering local delivery “to the door”, or even better – by courier. In this case, the parcel will not just remain on the porch, but will be handed over from hand to hand.
P.S. The production time is counted from the moment we receive payment for the order and your measurements.
I have a wedding in a month. Can you make my wedding dress?
Although our record is a wedding dress in 15 days, working in express mode with express delivery is not always possible. This issue is always resolved individually. Write to us to discuss the details and so that we can create an individual list for you to pay for this service.
I love your dresses. I want to buy them wholesale for my boutique. Maybe a discount?
. Yes, we will be happy to cooperate with you. Write to us to discuss all the details
I am afraid to buy a dress online, because now everywhere they sell copies of dresses that do not match the photo.. But I like your models, because I have not seen anything like this in local salons. Do your dresses match the photos?
You can be calm and sure that yes, the dress you receive will 100 percent match our photos. Usually all our brides say that our dresses in reality are much more beautiful than in the photo. We guarantee high quality tailoring and the highest quality fabric.
How much does shipping cost and how long does it take to deliver a package?
Delivery is carried out by services that operate in specific regions. The format and cost of delivery will be calculated when ordering based on the tariffs of a particular carrier and included in the final cost.
How can I pay for an order?
The order can be paid in a way convenient for you: by bank card, by international transfer (such as Western Union or MoneyGram) or through international payment systems (for example, PayPal).
We remind you that we don’t ship unpaid orders..
