Buyer Beware
Every young woman wants the best price when purchasing her prom or wedding gown!
Be certain that you are comparing "apples to apples" when making your decision. A "discount" does not necessarily mean that you are saving money. Look at the "free services" that are included (or not included) in the price and the terms of payment. Be especially cautious of anyone who requires you to pay in full before ordering your dress.
800 NUMBERS AND "THE INTERNET"
It's smart to buy some things over the phone and the Internet, but not an item that requires measuring, fittings, alterations, and professional pressing.
NATIONAL CHAINS
Many of the women that buy from a national chain do so because they assume they will save money. They sell many of the same style dress. It appears that they carry more styles than they actually do, because they stock many dresses of the exact same style. One of the comments that we hear is that a chain store may have styles that look similar to designer gowns, but they fabric is lower quality. Our advice: If there is ever a time you deserve quality, it is when you buy your prom or wedding gown!
THE BEST PLACE TO BUY YOUR GOWN
We recommend that you buy your gown at the store that gives you the best service. Beware if the store cannot provide gowns to try on, as well as assist
you with your fitting, alterations and pressing services. You can usually save time and money by doing it all at one place - with assurance that your satisfaction will be guaranteed.
The following is a TRUE story:
A young woman had been in a full-service store looking for her gown. She found what she wanted; however, she ordered it over the Internet as she found a source that would sell her the same gown for $100 less. After receiving her gown: (1) in a small box, (2) dirty and (3) not the correct size, she is having to pay $250 for the necessary alterations and $175 to have the gown professionally cleaned and pressed. When she tried to phone the Internet business where she ordered the dress, their number had been changed to an "unpublished" number. In an article in USA Today, it was reported that shoppers were getting a poor deal from Internet retailers. The Consumers International research group ordered 151 items from various Internet sites. It found that one in ten items never arrived. Your gown is too important to take a chance. Please be careful and check out your local bridal and prom store.
