In one way, you have to be pretty easy-going and not too concerned about specific fabrics and detailing to buy your wedding gown online, but on the other hand, the selection you can have is enormous, according to design, material, size and shape and the price is a real bonus!

Pros of Buying Wedding Dresses Online:

Comparison shopping at its best! The online world allows you to do an unprecedented amount of research before making your final purchase.

Unparalleled selection – the fabrics, the styles, the sizes – you simply can’t beat the selection you can find when searching for wedding gowns online. Browse every designer’s site and a large number of online bridal shops from the comfort of your own home.

No need to set an appointment and hope that your mom and bridesmaids are available. Shop any time that is convenient for you.

No need to Travel. For brides in small towns and remote locations, there is no need to drive to the nearest "big city" to find the dress of their dreams.

Cons of Buying Wedding Dresses Online:

• Although delivery time may be several weeks when shopping for wedding gowns online, regardless of where you buy, if you are new to online shopping this may cause you unnecessary stress.
• You may have to pay to have your measurements taken by a professional. TIP: Wear the same undergarments that you plan to wear on your wedding day for the most accurate measurements.
• You may only see one or two photos of the dress that doesn’t show you different angles or views. Be sure to read the description carefully.
• You don’t get to feel the fabric. TIP: Take a copy of the dress description to your local fabric store and ask them to show you exactly what type of fabric is being described.
• You don’t get to try your wedding dress on before buying.
• You will need to factor in the cost and time of a professional tailor for alterations.
