In today's world where the internet is overrun by scammers it can be tough for the honest bride who is trying to be economical when it comes to her wedding. There are many DIY projects that can be really helpful but one thing that brides should be wary of is compromising on the quality of the dress. We wanted to share with you some vital tips that we received from our fabulous designer Matthew Christopher on the subject of online buying.
"Buying from an unauthorized dealer can ruin your wedding day and cost you more then you "bargained" for. Here are some of the problems you could be faced with:
-An incorrect style or size
-Wrong or different colors
-Defective dresses
-Dresses that have been worn
-Knock-off dresses (not really from the designer they claim to be, a poorly executed copy)
-Expensive "unforeseen" or "undisclosed" shipping or alteration costs
-Dress is "lost" or "damaged" in shipping
-Your dress order was never really "received" or "ordered" with the designer
-Or, you may not receive your dress in time for your wedding! " (www.matthewchristopher.com)
