Believe it or not ladies, you can get your very own elegant and stylish wedding gown for as little as $99! Many online discount gown shops carry a range of designer inspired dresses - be it vintage, princess, Hollywood, or chic – and most between $100 - $200. These dresses are brand new and made to order. Most of these shops also have bridesmaid, evening, flower girl, and mother of the bride dresses too, with a broad choice of color and style. Some companies will even let you submit your own pattern or magazine photo!

Here are a few guidelines when purchasing from an online gown shop. Always check with store policies before purchasing.

-Purchase at least four to six months in advance of the wedding date to allow sufficient time for production, shipping, and alterations.

-Dresses are made to order so refunds and exchanges are usually never offered unless in cases of damaged or incorrect merchandise. Make sure you pick the right dress when ordering!

-Check the size chart provided by the online shop carefully and make sure your measurements are accurate. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Don’t assume you know your size and don’t send in size measurements without first looking at the company’s size chart. Most shops recommend a professional dressmaker to take the measurements for you. If this isn’t possible, have several people measure you (round up your mom, aunt, and a close friend!) to confirm all measurements. It is also suggested that when taking measurements you wear the undergarments you plan to wear on the day of the wedding.

-Most dresses will require alteration. This is common of all wedding and bridesmaid dresses bought, be it online or in a physical shop. This should be taken into consideration when budgeting for your dress. In many cases, dresses are made slightly larger to allow room for easy alteration. Double-check the store's policies. Even with the cost of alteration, you’re saving a lot of money by buying discount online and you’re getting the dress of your dreams.
