Online Wedding Gowns โ Unmatched Convenience (Pros)
Dear brides, letโs just dive straight into it and get real for a minute. One major reason why youโd even consider an e-commerce bought wedding gown is because of its affordability. The designs look immaculate on your computer/tablet/smartphone screen, but hey, thatโs the whole point of product photography!
Oh, and thereโs the ridiculous level of convenience. With e-commerce purchases, you can make your wedding gown selection from your mobile device at any time and place. You could choose that chic A-line number while commuting in the wee hours of the morning or while queuing for boba tea.
Unfortunately, thatโs pretty much where the buck ends with onlineย wedding gowns. Now letโs get to theย very realย fear factors that could ruin your bridal ensemble.

Online Wedding Gowns โ Legit Fears to Ponder (Cons)
Firstly, letโs just say thereโs no such thing as a free lunch. If something is ridiculously priced when itโs usually worth a specific cost range, itโs important to do a double-take. For example, a wedding gown. Thereโs so much involved in creating a gorgeous outfit that will make you, your partner, and your parents proud.
So whatโs up with the inexpensive options online? The devil is in the details.
What you see (online) is not always what you get. Here are some nasty scenarios that may happen with your e-commerce wedding gown order:
-
Cheap and uncomfortable gown materials that are scratchy and so thick that they donโt let your skin breathe. Imagine how youโd be drenched in sweat after a quick trip down the aisle. Not cool.
-
Poor handling of goods by the seller and delivery company, resulting in damage, refunds, and a blatant waste of wedding prep time.
-
Mismatched sizing by wholesalers that follow, letโs say, the standards of the Szechuan province, different from Singaporean bridal dimensions. And yes, this leads to refunds and bridal panic mode.
-
Low-quality gown fabric and features that disintegrate with minimal movement and effort. A zip gets undone or random sequins fly off from your gown with a sneeze? Not the best way to celebrate a milestone event!
Yes, going online gets you a wedding gown at a much lower price point. But are the horrors worth the risk?
