Tips for online wedding dress shopping: 

Take your measurements or have them taken by a professional seamstress. Wedding dress sizes are NOT the same as "street" sizes. Sizes can also vary by designer. *See below for a generic bridal sizing chart.  How to Measure

It is much easier to have a dress altered smaller. Most dresses can be altered one or two sizes without compromising the structure of the dress. Consult with an alteration specialist for pricing before you purchase the dress. I am happy to send additional pictures and videos or even facetime with your alterations specialist so they can better see the structure of the dress to give more accurate price quotes for alterations. 

Try on wedding dresses if possible to see what style you love! Sometimes what we think we want ends up not being the style or look we feel the most beautiful in!

Contact the seller before purchase and ASK QUESTIONS- Does the dress have any flaws or damage? Has it been altered? What are the exact measurements? Is the price negotiable? Has the dress been cleaned? **If the only pictures of the dress are stock photos ask to see original pictures of the dress to ensure you are getting what you think you are getting!
