Awful on multiple accounts. They like to advertise for brides to get bridesmaid dresses from. My mom ordered on for herself for my wedding and went on and on about how she was getting s designer dress (I'm not sure she understands what that means) and she ended up hating it so much that she (a talented seamstress herself) couldn't even fix it. <br /><br />Then last year my little sister wanted to use one of these sites for bridesmaid dresses. I told her I refuse to order dresses from these sites just on principle (they are directly stealing others designs, among the other issues) and told her I would wear something in the same color from an actual store or I didn't have to be a bridesmaid. She also waited so long to pick dresses that it would have been questionable for me to get the dress in time anyway. She ended up letting me pick my own. <br /><br />I was given a hard time about not buying one from the sketchy manufacturer even though my sisters dress had to have significant alterations the night before the wedding because it didn't fit.

I can't even imagine ordering a bridal gown online. I suppose if it looked really nice and cost $50 so there was relatively little lot lose, and you had plenty of time to find a real bridal gown when the one you ordered online fell through, it might be OK. Still, you would most likely be throwing your $50 away. with nice dresses, you usually get what you pay for if you order in person. If you mail order or order online, you probably don't even get what you pay for.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-34012174024867469092016-04-18T19:41:13.200-07:002016-04-18T19:41:13.200-07:00Sizing illogicalities and online buying is a disas...Sizing illogicalities and online buying is a disastrous combination. I have a friend who owns a bespoke,high end bridal atelier. Many brides-to-be are now ordering gowns online, usually from China as it is cheaper than local boutiques.she now refuses to see hysterical Bridezillas begging her to alter their dream gown which arrived 3 days before the wedding,size inappropriate and with no allowance for any such alterations. Her small ,high quality niche market furnishes fewer head and heart aches.

If I cared about the company or if i liked the merchandise but it wouldn't fot me, I could contact them, but since I son't care about their company and I could wear the clothing if i liked it, which I don't, I feel no sense of obligation to tell them anything.

In the about section they say: "Rather than just an online shopping store, we would like to create a community which will be shared by both designers and customers. The community will enable all parties to communicate, share ideas, and recognize each other. It would not only provide instant feedback for fashion designers when launching new concepts or products, but would also allow customers to share their shopping experiences and fashion dreams."<br />https://www.stylewe.com/information/about-usChuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-26129071726751611342016-04-18T00:49:57.384-07:002016-04-18T00:49:57.384-07:00I don't understand what they think they're...I don't understand what they think they're going to accomplish other than putting themselves out of business.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-15699415338496325572016-04-17T23:59:13.129-07:002016-04-17T23:59:13.129-07:00As someone who has never been XS, this post depres...As someone who has never been XS, this post depresses me.
