    My friend bought hers from Netbride, it was lovely and quite a bargain.

    She just made sure that she had a dressmaker on standby in case it needed any alterations.

    Thanks tahdah

    I have a family member who does alterations so im covered for that side of things.

    Just a bit worrried about it ? but then again a dress shop here could go out of business just as easy

    You've probably already done this but (little tip) find the dress you like in the UK and try it on to get an idea of the size and look because wedding dress sizes do vary.

    Then you can order from the US, remember there may well be extra customs charges...sometimes they do, sometimes they don't!!

    I've just ordered my bridesmaid dresses from House of Brides in America and the savings are huge. So far so good and the dresses should be delivered to a US address in September.

    To get delivery back to UK there are custom and VAT charges but I would think that the dress will still be cheaper than buying here.

    Good luck!!!!

    I got my bridesmaid dresses from NetBride - great service and delivery when they said. The dresses were exactly what I wanted. It's always a gamble buying online as you can't be sure of the sizing, colour etc, but the savings can be massive.

    Tahdah - I am going to try it on again on saturday just to be sure before I order it.

    Gillsy - It was House of Brides that I was looking at and I would be getting them delivered to a US address too

    Frankiefizz - All the dresses have been tried on in the shops first

    Thank you Ladies ?
