Hello,
Has anyone out there ever dealt with House of Brides in Illinois? www.houseofbrides.com - you can order online at what seem to be excellent discounts from suggested manufacturers' prices, plus they have free shipping. I don't know how the prices compare to DBS. I had to buy a bridesmaids dress at a regular bridal salon recently (cheapest price I could find for the style the bride picked, though) and I never want to buy anything in those stores again! So intimidating! House of Brides had the dress I needed to order for $20 less than what I paid in the bridal salon, but to order only one dress, I would have had to pay shipping, which brought it to the same price as the salon, and I thought that would be easier.
I know I'll have to go to stores to try styles so I know what I want to order from them, but I don't want to give them more of my money.
I am just looking for feedback - I wasn't able to get into the articles about saving money even after I registered, so maybe this store was already addressed in the book or the articles.
