Online shopping is a great way to get a great dress – after all, that’s the business we are in! When buying a dress online, three are things you can do to make sure that you will not be disappointed.
First, even though it may not be necessary, be absolutely prepared for the fact that the dress may need a bit of work to make it fit perfectly. This is true of fine dress for both males and females. Just like a tuxedo, a dress, to fit perfectly, must often have slight.
One-shoulder Prom Dresses
After all, none of us are exactly the same – even two people that look alike will wear a dress slightly differently.
True, some dresses are much more carefree – the one-shoulder homecoming dress is a prime example of a dress that more often than not will not need any alterations. This hybrid strap gown still leaves the shoulders enticingly bare, with horizontal pleats on the bustier culminating in a jeweled feature where the straps meet in the center of the chest, right where the sweetheart neckline reaches its lowest center point.
The skirt falls in soft, straight and angled pleats that allow the skirt to swirl and form to the leg and curve of waist and hips.
Next, when you are looking at dresses online always go to the manufacturer and make sure that seller is a registered retailer for that designer.
If they are not, they either got the dress second hand or through other means, or even worse the dress is a counterfeit.
Counterfeit clothes do matter – they do not have the ethics of the designers, or the insistence of quality manufacturing techniques.
After you make sure that the online store is an authorized dealer, carefully read the fine print. Each dress should come with a certificate of authenticity.
Read the return policy carefully. For items on clearance or final sale, there is generally no return available. Just like a brick and mortar store, when you buy these items they are bought.
Oyeahbridal.com offers a 7 day period to return a dress, with a 10% restocking fee and shipping fees (which are not much). A prepaid UPS label is supplied with each dress – sometimes dresses just aren’t what you thought.
The return policy should be easy to use, easy to activate and all the fees should be easy to understand.
And finally, be realistic about your body type – buy a dress that will flatter your shape and you will be much happier – in fact, we just featured a blog about that!
