HOW SAFE IS IT TO BUY A PROM DRESS ONLINE?

This is the question we hear the most when the topic of prom dress shopping comes up in conversation. The reality in this day and age is that it is very safe to buy a prom dress online. As always though, the same rules for buying anything online apply including:

• Make sure you shop at reputable retailers who you know and trust. If you find a dress on a small, boutique site you’re not sure about make sure to research them and look for reviews from real customers.
• Check out the return policy and delivery times. Most websites will have clear outlines of how long it takes to get your dress as well as their policies on returns. You don’t want to be in a situation where you buy a dress and don’t love it when you try it on, only to not be able to return it. Even if the store allows returns you don’t want to be stuck with a time-situation counting down to your prom party.

Overall, there are tons of high quality prom dress websites from both big retailers to little boutiques online. Set your budget, book your venue, and keep the season and site in mind when picking your gown.

5 CAN’T BREAK RULES FOR BUYING YOUR PROM DRESS ONLINE

Here are five important tips for making sure your online dress shopping goes well.

• Know the Key Parts of A Prom Dress

The prom dress has its own language and as an outsider it can be uncomfortable coming in as a newbie. To avoid being overwhelmed, be sure to prepare by first learning the key parts of a prom  dress.

• Know Your Measurements

Know your measurements and don’t do it yourself. Go to a seamstress and ask her to measure you properly if possible. Also, check to see if the website you are checking out has a size chart to help you figure out the right size for you.

• Read the Policy

Make sure you get to know the website’s policies, especially around returns and shipping. We’ve seen sites that charge insane amounts for delivery and don’t accept returns. That may be okay with you, but if it isn’t then it probably isn’t the place to buy your prom dress.

• Read Product Descriptions 

Most of us see a picture of a prom dress and fall in love. Though quite technical, dress descriptions help you understand exactly what you’re buying so make sure to read it. If you aren’t sure, then ask an expert to help you figure it out.

• Know Your Fabrics

In-store, you can run silk through your fingers — but online, you must know just how each fabric will fold and flex. We recommend that you find an expert or friend who can help you figure it out. Again, a great return policy is helpful in case you buy a fabric that isn’t what you expected in person.
