Shopping online has almost become a must in modern people's life. Brides-to-be, who are always fashion conscious, certainly will always consider buying their wedding dresses online. Except saving a lot of money and time, they are offered with much more choices. However, have you already grasped some basic tips on buying a wedding dress from a website? Before heading to the market, take a look at below tips :D.

Tip 1: Pay close attention to pictures for the product.

You will only see pictures while purchasing online, which doesn¡¯t allow you to clearly know the style and quality of the texture. Dealers will often display real product pictures on their sites, desiring to get more credit from customers. Just remember to take a closer look at those photos, on which you will often find some differences between the product image and real dress. Besides, detailed photos speak for a lot. To know whether the handwork is elaborate and the fabric is deluxe or not, you will find detailed pictures contribute a lot in most cases. A high-end wedding dress features tidy stitches. Referring to the quality of the cloth, you can observe the sheen on it. If a fabric reflects light strongly, it shouldn¡¯t be classy and cannot bring you really desirable comfort at all.

Tip 2: Take an exact measurement for your body.

As you cannot try the dress directly, you are required to be careful about measuring your body. And it¡¯s important to know different sizes are needed on diverse wedding gown styles. Generally speaking, you need to measure your net height, bust, waist, hip and shoes height. According to different styles, you may also need to take a measurement on your shoulder length, upper bust, under bust, neck length, back length, back width etc. In a word, the more detailed, the better. Based on the size information you offer, the dealer will choose the most suitable size for you.

Tip 3: Ask the dealer to leave some margin on the dress, for any possible alteration later.

It¡¯s a must to do this. In this case, you can adjust the dress according to how you look with the gown. Different with casual clothes, a bridal dress is always designed to be a little smaller, because a slightly larger dress may drop down due to the weight of the hemline. Of course, nobody will want to see such an embarrassing moment. What¡¯s more, soon-to-be brides tend to become a little slenderer because of arranging so many things before the ceremony. So, tell the dealer a smaller measurement will bring you the ideally fitting wedding gown.

Tip 4: Make sure you have known some common sense on cloth.

Yes, the dealer will introduce the style, fabric, handwork etc in the description for the product. But in most cases, these words are blurry, at least not clear enough to make you totally understand. For example, you will often see the name of imported satin, imported silk, imported lace embroidery etc. For laymen at the clothing industry, we cannot distinguish the difference between domestic and imported fabric. Therefore, it¡¯s better to find some stores where detailed fabric names are provided. Before purchasing, brides are required to take lessons about fabric :D!

Tip 5: Make certain exchanging & returning policy of the store where you plan to order.

Risk and inconvenience coexists on E-Commerce. In spite of elaborately selecting, you may be unable to find the most expected one. So, before paying, make sure you have totally known the exchanging and returning policy embraced by the shop. If you cannot exchange or return it, you can also sell it to a small-scaled wedding photographing shop. To sum up, when you decide to buy your wedding gown online, you also decide to assume some risk. Just adjust your mentality. Once a problem happens, choose the right way to solve it and assume the loss caused by the risk.
