There's no doubt that we all love to shop online. But what about for your wedding dress? With more and more of us turning to Pinterest (The Grace Loves Lace Hollie dress is one of the most pinned wedding dresses in the world) as well as Instagram to find our dream gown, it's becoming less unusual to pick and purchase your wedding dress in the comfort of your own home.

But of course, without seeing the dress of your dreams in reality, there are some major points to consider before sealing the deal. Grace Loves Lace founder Megan Ziems tells us that over 70% of Grace Loves Lace customers confidently order their dress online - due to their expert team of online stylists. So, with her practiced knowledge of a smooth online purchase, Megan has shared the major points to consider when buying your dress online…

    1. Research how your gown looks on real brides

    We have testimonials and images all over social media and the website, to ensure you have a realistic view of your dream dress. But this is where Instagram and Pinterest becomes your best friend!

    2. Choose styles that are safe

    Traditional gowns which feature rigid fabrics, boning, structure and no stretch are a high-risk online purchase. Grace Loves Lace gowns are made to order in luxurious stretch laces, which makes it much easier to receive the perfect fit.

    3. Make sure you find a shape that suits

    When in doubt – a fitted top and loose skirt is a flattering silhouette on most body shapes.

    4. Always ask for a fabric swatch

    Most reputable online shops will offer this as an option, so you are able to see your final fabric in the flesh. This is ideal to see the colour, too.

    5. Know the easy to fit styles

    Gowns with a tie-back or adjustable straps allow for extra support or easy adjustment on the day. These type of gowns are really low risk when buying online – as you can always adjut to fit you perfectly.

    6. Check the underwear situation

    Make sure you look for ‘Bust Support’ in the description if you need it. This can mean coverage, added built in cups or the ability to wear a bra.

    7. Double check the dress comes lined

    Make sure the dress you’re ordering is fully lined to avoid receiving anything see-through. (All GLL gowns are.)

    8. Talk through everything with the team

    It’s important to communicate any concerns with the place you’re buying from. We have dedicated stylists that are on hand to talk through any queries.
