• Notice which manufacturers the brides on the message boards recommend. Also check manufacturer’s customer satisfaction ratings on eBay.
• Read all of the company’s policies carefully, especially the return policies. Read the sizing charts. Don’t guess at your size. Get your measurements taken by a sewing professional.
• Ask if a color swatch can be sent to you. You might want to ask if you can send them a color swatch to make sure they can match your color.
• Order in plenty of time. No less than 9 to 6 months prior to the wedding. If a problem arises, you have time to fix it.
• Some bridal retailers sell these gowns in their shops. If you find out one exists in driving distance from you, go to see these dresses in person. This way you can compare the quality with what you have been seeing from the designer’s dresses in bridal shops.
