Buyer Beware Wendy Gay wants to warn brides and prom dress shoppers who are thinking about purchasing gowns online about some of the potential problems they could encounter. “Every other day, we hear horror stories from brides and teens who have ordered online, thinking they are getting a designer gown, and end up getting something completely unexpected,” says Gay. She says the dresses are often poor quality, a terrible fit, or the dress doesn’t at all resemble the dress they thought they were getting.

“We have even had panicked brides coming into our shop a few weeks before the wedding saying the dress they ordered online has not shown up, and when they tried to contact the company, they were no longer in business,” says Gay.
