Where on the internet would a bride go to get inspiration and ideas
for her wedding dress. Clasical, traditional, designer -  lots of
ideas to open her mind to the kind of look she could have. What
factors must she bear in mind when buying online as opposed to
purchasing from a bridal shop. Thanks Andy

Hello andyanswers-ga,

The Internet provides a wonderful way to explore the possibilities of
wedding dress styles. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of
websites that offer you endless possibilities. It?s enough to make you
feel completely overwhelmed so I suggest that you pace yourself and
take several sessions to peruse the possibilities. the first link I?ve
listed is a great place to start. It gives you dozens of starting
points. You can just click through and follow your whims. Be sure to
bookmark or print the dress or designer?s page so you can return to
your favorites. After a while all the dresses begin to look the same,
so it?s important that you give yourself a way to review and organize
the information you?ve collected.

The bridal dress websites I?ve listed offer a variety of styles
(classical, traditional, designer ? and more) to give you lots of
ideas of what might be possible for you. Once you?ve started defining
your preferences, you can conduct special searches for the designer or
style that you?ve picked.

I?ve also provided a selection of websites to help you with exploring
the possibility of buying your dress online. Many of the articles give
you step-by-step instructions so that you can avoid any
disappointments and pitfalls.

Have a wonderful time exploring the possibilities for your perfect
wedding dress and may you fulfill all your picture perfect wedding
dreams.

Enjoy!

Wedding Gown Shopping Tips

Many brides are horrified by the idea of purchasing a wedding gown
online. Buying online just isn't for everyone. However, can often save
the most by ordering in this fashion.
Most of the gossip about online bridal wear was actually started by
the bridal shops themselves. They will warn you of "fake gowns"&
"defective gowns" In actuality they are the same gowns from the same
designers. Online sellers have lower pricing due to the high volume of
sales they are able to achieve. You just need to use the same caution
in choosing what online company to deal with as you would with
choosing a brick & martyr bridal shop.

***** This is a very detailed article that explains step-by-step how
to shop for your dress  and what special considerations are involved
in buying your dress online.

What Every Bride Should Know About Purchasing Wedding Dresses 
Unveiling The Truth About Wedding Dresses: from ConsumerAffairs.com

The Federal Trade Commission is trying to make sure that brides-to-be
get what they pay for when they buy a wedding dress - including all
the information that federal law requires on wearing apparel.

The disclosures -- including the manufacturer or seller, the fabric,
the country where the garment was made, and cleaning instructions --
must be included on every garment offered for sale, says the FTC. But
they're particularly important on wedding dresses, arguably the most
expensive and memorable purchases of a lifetime.

***** This article gives a good overview of the legal protections you
have when shopping for a wedding dresss.
