Online Dress Buying

A reader had a question about purchasing a wedding dress online and here are my thoughts:

My friend Holly bought her dress online and it was perfect, but I would say to definitely try many dresses on before ordering one in a style you haven't seen on your body. When I was searching for my dress, I had many looks that I liked, and they were all very different. It was through trying on that I realized what worked best for me and suited the style I was looking for.

Also good to call the company you are ordering from and check with the Better Business Bureau just to be sure it's a good place to order from—particularly if the prices seem too good to be true. And check their return policy.
