What’s the advantage to buying your bridesmaids gowns online? Here is the run-down:
Everything is returnable(except some sale items). Sizing charts are easy to use and understand, often the same as real-world sizing. So if you know what you wear at Ann Taylor, for example, your bridesmaid dress will be sized the same. Dresses can be mailed to individual bridesmaids directly and shipping is usually pretty affordable. Finally, great looking dresses do go on sale on these sites for as much as half off, although they may have only limited sizing.
The negatives: you can’t always see the dresses before you buy them(some chains carry bridal and bridesmaid styles in a limited number of locations). But many sites will allow you to order a swatch, which helps you get an idea of the color and fabric. Also sizes can be limited. If your maids have a wide variety of body types and sizes, a traditional bridal shop may be able to help you find matching gowns to suit everyone. You may still need to have the dresses altered meaning your maids will have to find a local seamstress to help.
Here are the reviews of the best online retailers for bridesmaid dresses:
Bridesmaidtide Bridesmaidtide.co.uk. Bridesmaidtide has more styles of bridesmaid dresses than most other online stores. We like how they categorize the dresses by fabric and by style. For example, they offer fabric collections like satin, chiffon, taffeta and organza. Style silhouettes include strapless, halter, one shoulder, a-line and empire. Most of their designs are pretty short with only a few floor length options. The overall look is trendy and prices correspon accordingly.
